Justin admits it deeply affected him and even continues to do so: “My parents divorced when I was three. I’m finding more and more that…I’m going to break the chain because that’s what you do, break the chain of your parents. My stepfather [showed] me the value of stepping in and really being a man.”

Mary-Kate and Ashley say they were too busy with their careers so the breakup didn’t impact them very much: “To be honest, we were kind of busy at that point…We had so many people that loved us that we were like, ‘That’s okay. Things will be better this way.’ We were very mature for our age.”

Selena initially blamed her mother for the split: “I blamed my mom a lot [for the divorce] because I wanted a family so bad. I wanted to have my mom and dad together. I remember just being angry with my mom. I still feel really bad about that.”
