The "My heart will go on" singer mentioned that she does miss having a partner in life. "I miss to be touched. I miss to be hugged. I missed to be told, 'You're beautiful." she said.

"I am so much (about) love, you know — with my fans and my children and my family. And I feel that love, and it keeps me going. But love, love, love, love, love — the true love, the romance, the romantic love — is not present. But it's OK."

"I miss what a boyfriend and I miss what a husband would do," she concluded. Though the singer admitted to not being ready to date again, she isn't out of the game of love yet.
