Three months after their split, George Clooney’s ex Elisabetta Canalis opens up to Italian magazine Chi about her love life.

She admits she might not have the best taste in men. 

"I have always seen cold and controlled men as the right ones for me," said the model. "You have to accept that Prince Charming who is coming to save you is not going to happen — it works against you."

Canalis, who will participate in the next season of “Dancing with the Stars,” talked about marrying notorious bachelor Clooney before their breakup.

"At the end of the day I have always seen the end of my relationships as a personal failure," admitted Canalis. "There is nothing ever pretty in saying goodbye."

Clooney has already moved on to a relationship with Stacey Keibler, and Canalis is hopeful she will find love again. 

"In the past I would self destruct when it came to love - I was immature, throwing myself into things but now times have changed, I want a relationship where you understand the other person," said Canalis.
