Don – who used to party hard – changed when he met Kelley, a Montessori school teacher.

In 2017, he told DailyMail.com: “People don’t develop to the point where they can have lasting, mature relationships until their 30s, and that’s true for some of us.”

Then he said with a gesture to himself, “It will take even longer.”

Don said he stopped using drugs with the help of Buddhism and New Age self-help. He also let go of the “fear.”
