LOS ANGELES — Demi Moore is ending her marriage to fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, she said Thursday.
Moore, 49, and Kutcher, 33, were wed in September 2005. The couple’s relationship became tabloid fodder in recent months as rumors swirled about Kutcher’s alleged infidelity.
“It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marriage to Ashton. As a woman, a mother and a wife there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred, and it is in this spirit that I have chosen to move forward with my life,” she said in her statement.
The pair frequently used Twitter to communicate with each other as millions of fans followed along.
“I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi,” Kutcher tweeted Thursday. “Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail.”
Kutcher, 15 years Moore’s junior, is stepfather to Moore’s three daughters — Rumer, Scout and Tallulah Belle — from her 13-year marriage to actor Bruce Willis. Moore and Willis divorced in 2000 but have remained friendly. The Associated Press; Getty Images file photo
