Jennifer Coolidge admits she's not found the 'love of my life' after 'bad decisions'

Jennifer Coolidge has admitted that she still hasn't found the 'love of her life' yet because she has not yet come across a man who is the right fit for her.

The White Lotus actress, 61, has been showered with praise following her latest role as billionaire heiress Tanya McQuoid in the hit HBO series, but even with all the love from her fans and her famous friends, Jennifer can still sometimes feel alone without a love to call her own.

Lifting the lid on her dating life, the former American Pie actress revealed that throughout her life, she has made a number of 'bad decisions' when it comes to men, and in turn, it has left her feeling 'insecure' about what it is that she wants from love.

"I’ve been around forever, since I was 30 - that’s a long time. But when I go to a party with my other actor friends, I don’t know any of the people," she said.

"I live a secluded life in New Orleans and I only know the people I meet on the job and my friends from The Groundlings," Jennifer explained of her life in Hollywood.

Asked why she doesn’t have as much love for herself as all her fans do, she told Page Six: "Oh, I don’t know. I mean, my dating life, I’ve never found anyone quite right for myself. I haven’t found the love of my life.

"I think I made some bad decisions. It makes you insecure and you don’t think you’re great.

"Many people can come up to you at the airport, people come up when they have nothing else to do, they say very nice things to you, and people in Hollywood come up and say ‘You’re great,’ but the only way you know they mean it is if you give you a job," Jennifer added.

Although Jennifer finds it difficult to see the magic in herself at times, the same can't be said for everybody else who has witnessed her sparkle throughout the hit TV show, The White Lotus - a role which won her a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress this week.

Jennifer landed the role as Tania in The White Lotus after being cast by creator and friend Mike White.

However, it was during this time that her mental health suffered - after weight gain made her 'not like the way I looked'.

"I was really affected by the pandemic," she told The Guardian. "It was an incredibly sad time. I was reading tragic news stories on a daily basis, had a fatalistic approach and assumed the virus was going to win.

"I knew people who lost their lives and was convinced we wouldn’t make it through. I wasn't thinking about work, because I didn't think we'd be alive."

She added: "What helped is that my character, Tanya had parallels to me personally."
