Divorce 'bruised' Jude

London - Actor Jude Law says he has emerged stronger and happier from his bruising break-up with Sadie Frost.
Law, who stars alongside Nicole Kidman and Renee Zellweger in the film Cold Mountain, said on Wednesday that events such as a divorce "take a lot longer to heal and repair and to put back into order.
"It changes your life, I think, when you enter into a marriage and it can change it just as much as when you're part of a break-up," Law, 31, told Britain's ITV television network.
"But I certainly feel stronger emotionally and happier in myself, if not a little battered and bruised."
Law and Frost, who were granted a divorce in October, were married in 1997 and have three children.
Frost, 35, had sought the divorce on grounds of his unreasonable behaviour. In court documents, she said Law's behaviour after the birth of their third child, Rudy, "increased the effect of postnatal depression leading me to have to take treatment three times".
Law, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performance in The Talented Mr Ripley, is reported to be dating 21-year-old actress Sienna Miller, his co-star in a forthcoming remake of 60s British movie Alfie.
