Later in the evening, the “Blurred Lines” crooner turned king of sorry tweeted a picture of the couple back when they were still happy. > [](https://twitter.com/robinthicke/status/483457501292027904) Keep trying, Robin. If all the singing doesn’t work, hopefully the sales from your strategically-named album, _Paula,_ will be of comfort. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2940300/bet-awards-2014-robin-thicke/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2940300/bet-awards-2014-robin-thicke/"},"headline":"Robin Thicke Made Yet Another Plea to Win His Wife Back","datePublished":"2014-06-30T11:41:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:41:38.901Z","description":"If at first you don't succeed, try again","url":"https://time.com/2940300/bet-awards-2014-robin-thicke/","keywords":["awards","Music","Robin Thicke"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2989f50e58339008/698699d8d0b6f2475430512b/ap568448388349.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2989f50e58339008/698699d8d0b6f2475430512b/ap568448388349.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Robin Thicke","caption":"Robin Thicke","creditText":"Chris Pizzello—Chris Pizzello—Invision—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2940300/bet-awards-2014-robin-thicke/","name":"Robin Thicke Made Yet Another Plea to Win His Wife Back"}}]}] ```
