She added that she is enjoying the single life and that it has given her a fresh chance to concentrate on making music.
"As a woman, I love being single and I am probably one of the happiest divorced women on the planet," she said. "It is coming up on five years now and I am delighted I did it."
Bonner is now in a relationship with Telma Ortiz, sister of the Queen of Spain Letizia Ortiz, and they had their first child in October 2021.
Asked if she would consider tying the knot again, Corr said, "I am starting to get the heebie-jeebies and my stomach is starting to turn at the idea."
However, she added, "I have changed my opinions on so many things and it is really important to be open to things. The things you should do are the things you fear."
