Ashton Kutcher admits he was “angry” when his ex-wife Demi Moore’s memoir Inside Out hit bookstores in September 2019.
Although the “That ’70s Show” alum doesn’t “want to open anything up in that realm,” he told Esquire in a cover story published Tuesday how publishing the book has affected his family.
“I finally got to a place where the press had really fired me and [my wife] honey [Kunis] and my life and my family,” explained Kutcher, who is father to daughter Wyatt, 8, and son Dimitri, 6.
“And then the next day, [the paparazzi] are at my kids’ school,” the former “Punk’d” host continued, noting on the profile that he harbors no “bad feelings” toward Moore.
Kutcher, 44, was married to the 60-year-old actress from 2005 to 2013.

In her book, Moore reflects on the two threesomes she and the actor had during their time together, also blaming him for influencing her relapse.
The “Revenge” star did not comment on the allegations at the time.
The actor noted that he doesn’t want to “open up” any drama.
Moore was already a mother when she met Kutcher. He became stepfather to Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, whom Moore shared with ex-husband Bruce Willis.
“I was 26, taking care of an 8-year-old, a 10-year-old, and a 12-year-old,” Kutcher recalls, noting that she still keeps in touch with her former stepchildren.

While the exes were trying to have children of their own before calling it quits, Moore suffered a miscarriage six months pregnant.
“I love kids. … The idea of having another child would be amazing,” Kutcher said of their loss. “I had to have this experience for some reason.”

The Ranch alum and Moore separated in 2011, settling for divorce two years later. The split felt like a “wholesale king fail” for Kutcher.
“Nothing makes you feel like a failure like a divorce,” he explained. “You failed at marriage.”

Kutcher began dating Kunis, 39, in 2013. The former co-stars got engaged two years later and married in 2015.
“The thing about Mila that made our relationship accelerate was that I’ve always admired her. Her talent, her skills, her gifts,” gushed the No Strings Attached star. “I knew she didn’t need me. And she knew I didn’t need her.
“We already knew all our dirt,” he continued, calling the “Family Guy” star “way cooler” than him.
Kunis gave birth to Wyatt and Dimitri in 2014 and 2016, respectively. Kutcher, who recently had a vasectomy, wants to raise “good decision-makers.”
