Hayek single and loving it

Mexican actress Salma Hayek has embraced her newly-single status - insisting she is looking forward to a period of self-discovery.

The Frida star, 39, is eager to spend some time alone after relationships with Brit actor Edward Atterton, Foght Club star Edward Norton and most recently Josh Lucas.

She says:" I was in a four-year relationship, then went into another four-year relationship. Then I dated someone for a year. I'm single now for the first time in a decade and it's wonderful to find out who I am when I'm not someone's girlfriend."
