When asked, Ewan (obviously) claims that Eve's receiving the agreed-upon amount.

9 Ewan Rubbed In How Much Happier He Is Now Compared To When He Was Married

6 Mary Elizabeth Winstead Left Him For A Hot Minute

According to The Daily Mail, Mary Elizabeth Winstead couldn't handle all the rumors surrounding her man's break-up with Eve. This caused her to dump him for a short while.
