Melbourne, Oct 18 : George Clooney’s ex-girlfiriend Elisabetta Canalis has finally opened up about her split with the actor.

“It was a difficult time for me,” the Herald Sun quoted the Italian TV star as telling Italy’s Chi magazine.

“At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure.”

Canalis, 33, further said that the break-up led her to rethink how she approached romance.

“I’m a bit of a tomboy, but when it comes to love I am a doormat. I’m looking for men who can give me security.”

“You have to accept that Prince Charming who is coming to save you is not going to happen,” she said. (ANI)
