He started to become distant and Demi believes he wanted his own freedom. She said, “Bruce and I had met, married, had a baby, and just done a lot, very quickly. It was as if he woke up a few years later and thought, ‘Whoa, is this what I want? Or do I really want to be free?’”

She continued, “I think he was struggling to resolve a conflict within himself: he wanted family and grounding, but he also craved excitement and novelty. Basically, he wanted to do whatever the f**k he wanted.”

These days, Demi is single and Bruce is married to his wife Emma and they have two daughters together. They all remain good friends.
