wouldn’t mind if I saw one.”

Over
the last few years though they've been more open about the relationship
with Demi praising the That 70's Show star for helping her with her
personal issues.
Earlier this year she told Latina Magazine:
"When I dated white guys, it wasn't as passionate as my relationship
with Wilmer. Maybe that's just Wilmer. But I do believe that Latin
people are just more expressive, more passionate with their emotions."
“He's
protective and he cares so much and loves so hard. I've been blessed
enough to have him in my life, and not just as my man, but also my best
friend.
"I've been my heaviest in my relationship with Wilmer and also been my thinnest.
"He's seen it all and loves me equally, and it gives me confidence to know that."

your hard work.. Last night undeniably you set a new standard.. And I
get to say I was there when... I love you angel."
