Model-turned-actress Kate Upton says she has been cheated on, but says that the best way to deal with the pain is to cut all ties with ex-boyfriends.

"I definitely have been cheated on. Everybody's been through betrayal some way or another in their life. You're heartbroken and you have to heal that. I personally think the best revenge is just walking away and not wasting another second of your time with someone who's clearly emotionally handicapped," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Upton as saying.

"I think if someone hurts you in that way, it's not your job to change him, and it's not your job to be there while he's finding himself, and finding who he is. So, I think walking away and being who you need to be for the rest of your life is the most important thing," she added.

The 22-year-old has been linked to players Justin Verlander, Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez in the past and said that looks aren't her priority when it comes to men.
