“Sometimes people just grow apart and that’s OK. I got to a point where I realised I couldn’t grow in the way I wanted to within this particular relationship.

Roberts said her love for Stewart’s daughter Scout will always remain, saying she taught Scout that “love is infinite”.

Despite admitting there have been times when she didn’t see the light, Roberts hopes to have her heart broken again.

“It’s just heartbreak. It feels awful and dank and it would be nice for it to never happen again, but I hope I do get my heart broken again — it means I’ve loved fully, and been vulnerable with someone else.”

Roberts and Stewart, 48, met on the set of the hit TV show in 2017 and tied the knot in Ireland two years later.
