#12: How it Ended

In 1987, Demi and Emilio called off their engagement, deciding they weren’t ready for marriage. Demi later admitted that she had been more in love with being engaged than Emilio himself. Their split was amicable, and they remained friends in the following years.

Emilio continued his successful career, while Demi quickly moved on, meeting Bruce Willis soon after. Though their engagement never resulted in marriage, their relationship was essential to Demi’s journey, teaching her that love needed more than passion and shared experiences to last truly.
