Ashton Kutcher says that divorce made him feel like a “failure.”

He said: “Nothing makes you feel like a failure like divorce. Divorce feels like a wholesale f****** failure. You failed at marriage. You own the s*** you did wrong, and you go forward.”
The What Happens in Vegas actor – who went on to marry That’s 70s Show co-star Mila Kunis in 2015 and has Wyatt, eight, and six-year-old Dimitri with her – went on to comment that it was “a lot” to take on Demi’s three children Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah from her previous marriage to Bruce Willis and reflected that the miscarriage Demi suffered while they were together was “really, really painful.”
He told Esquire: “I was 26, bearing the responsibility of an eight-year-old, a ten-year-old, and a twelve-year-old. That’s how some teen parents must experience their 20s. It was a lot. Losing a kid that you think you’re going to have, and that close to thinking you’re going to have a kid, is really, really painful. Everyone deals with that in different ways.”
He doesn’t tell Esquire how he coped with the miscarriage, but added: “I love kids. I wouldn’t have gotten married to a woman that had three kids if I didn’t love kids. The idea of having another kid would have been incredible. But for whatever reason, I had to have that experience.”
