Robin Thicke 'doing great' following split

Robin Thicke is "doing great" in the wake of his marriage split.

The 'Blurred Lines' hitmaker and wife Paula Patton recently separated after nine years of marriage, and his dad Alan Thicke says his famous son is channelling his heartbreak into new music.

Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight Canada', Thicke said: "They're doing great and Robin is pouring himself into the musical artistry.

"There will be a fabulous album coming out within months... he's almost finished it."

It has been speculated that Patton is willing to give Thicke - with who she has three-year-old son Julian - another chance if he "proves" himself to be a good husband and father, but 'Growing Pains' actor Thicke-senior is unsure what the future holds for the pair.

Asked if he thinks they will reunite, he replied: "They're grown-ups. I wouldn't bet on them one way or another."

It was recently claimed that Alan - who is married to third wife Tanya Callau - has been giving his son marriage advice and urging him not to make the same mistakes he did.

A source said: "Robin's convinced that his smooth-talking dad - despite his own chequered romantic history - could help him win back his wife."

Alan is said to have a close bond with Paula, who has three-year-old son Julian with Robin, and has been trying to talk her around.

The source added: "Paula adores Alan and he adores her. He admitted he made a mess of his own love life and caused pain for his family with divorces.

"But he told Paula he believes she and Robin have the strength to get through this and save their union."
