“It was like, 2003, my mom had just started dating Ashton, it was that moment,” she said in a June 2023 episode of Fox’s reality series Stars on Mars.
“There was a lot going on. And I really went inside of myself … It was really hard, and I’m still unpacking.”
Ashton was aged 25 when he married Demi, who was 15 years older than him, in 2005. Tallulah was 11 years old at the time.

Since their divorce, Ashton has spoken about their relationship and how he took care of Demi’s three daughters while she was away shooting.
“I was twenty-six, bearing the responsibility of an eight-year-old, a ten-year-old, and a twelve-year-old,” he told Esquire in 2023. “That’s how some teen parents must experience their twenties.”

“When we were getting divorced, Tallulah was graduating high school,” he said in a 2020 episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. “I was helping raise teenage girls through their adolescence.”
The actor went on to say that he never tried to be their father and “always had respect and honored Bruce.”
“I think he’s a brilliant human being and a wonderful man,” he continued. “If they don’t want an engagement with me, I’m not going to force it upon them. But they all do and it’s great.”

Bruce and Demi’s firstborn daughter, Rumer, said it was “definitely weird for a minute” when her mother first started dating Ashton, her early 2000s crush.
But nevertheless, she said, “I have to commend him.”
“He was a really great stepfather. The perspective switched quickly,” Rumer told Howard Stern in 2015.

“That’s when you open up your Teen Beat, you take him down and put somebody else up,” she went on to say. “I feel like I told my sister that at some point, ‘Gotta cross him off the list.’”
After the end of Ashton and Demi’s union, he went on to marry his That ’70s Show co-star Mila Kunis and share two children with her.
