BENJAMIN BRATT may not be JULIA ROBERTS' boyfriend anymore, but he's never been happier. The Miss Congeniality (2000) star claims being free and single is the best thing that could have happened to him.

Bratt and Roberts split earlier this year (Aril 2001) after a three and a half year relationship. But Bratt says, "I feel a sense of peace. I feel good about things that are going on for me. I am very happy." (MB/WNV/BRC)
