The actress admitted during an interview that she has grown significantly since her three previous marriages. According to her, she often worried about the possibility of her partners stepping out on her back then, a phase she has left dead and buried in the past.

"I can't imagine feeling again what I felt then, which was jealous, suspicious. You grow out of it like you grow out of a pair of pants," the Hollywood figure noted. However, this has not changed her perspective on love as an emotion, as an action, describing herself as a romantic to the core.

"You can go through tumultuous, distressing relationships, but we rebound, don't we? Our hearts rebound with a belief that it's still there and it can be achieved, and how wonderful when it comes again," Wright declared to AARP.
