In a new interview with Esquire, Ashton opened up about his marriage and subsequent divorce to Demi, as well as their attempts to welcome a child together early in their relationship.

Ashton said his divorce from Demi felt “humiliating” and “embarrassing”. “Nothing makes you feel like a failure like a divorce,” he said. You have failed in marriage.”

“You own the shit you did wrong and you move on,” he added.

Ashton also said he was “pissed as hell” when Demi’s 2019 memoir Inside Out included intimate details of their relationship — particularly because of the increased attention it brought him, Mila and their family.

“I finally got to a point where the press had really dismissed me and Mila and my life and my family,” he said. “And then the next day, [the paparazzi] are in my children’s school.”

Along with his comments about their split, Ashton also opened up about when he and Demi suffered a late-stage pregnancy loss in 2003.

“Losing a child that you think you’re going to have and being that close to believing you’re going to have a child is really, really painful,” he said. “Everyone deals with it in different ways.”

“I love kids,” Ashton added. “I wouldn’t have married a woman with three children if I didn’t have children. The idea of ​​having another child would have been incredible.”

“For whatever reason, I had to have this experience.”
