Demi Moore Files for Divorce from Ashton Kutcher

By Nottage and Ward on November 22, 2011

On November 17, actress Demi Moore announced that she is filing for divorce from her husband of six years, actor Ashton Kutcher, according to The Huffington Post. Moore, who is about 16 years older than Kutcher, told the Associated Press that she decided to end her marriage to Kutcher “with great sadness and a heavy heart.”

In September, rumors about marital troubles began when Kutcher was allegedly caught cheating on a trip to San Diego. Kutcher denied the rumors. However, after his alleged mistress stepped forward, it fueled the media fire. Moore and Kutcher apparently tried to work through the issues in their marriage, but Moore eventually made the decision to divorce. Moving vans were seen outside the couple’s house in October, supporting rumors that the pair was in fact splitting. Camping and Kabbalah counseling did not bring reconciliation, and, unfortunately, neither did spending time at Bruce Willis’ vacation home on Turks and Caicos early this month. Bruce Willis and Demi Moore were married for 10 years and have three children. They remain good friends.

Moore and Kutcher had married in 2005 when she was 43-years-old and he was 27-years-old. Since then, the question of whether their age difference could negatively impact their marriage has been circulating in and out of the media and the public. The age difference may have been a factor, or perhaps the constant criticism the couple received may have contributed to the failure of the marriage, but it is impossible to know for sure.
