Scooter Braun‘s crumbling marriage to Yael Cohen Braun nearly broke him — admitting it got so dark, he thought about ending it all.

The music exec confessed on Steven Bartlett’s podcast “The Diary of a CEO” that the thought of missing out on time with his kids had him battling suicidal thoughts back in 2020 — all while the world saw him living large on the surface, managing the likes of thriving stars Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber.

Scooter said the marriage breakdown was a real gut punch after some rough patches on the career front … noting that everything he had worked for — his picture-perfect marriage, the powerhouse career, the golden-boy image — all came crashing down.

Scooter and Yael — who share 3 kids Jagger, Levi, and Hart — officially split in 2021 after 7 years of marriage — and their divorce was finalized in 2022.
