In a statement to the Associated Press, Demi Moore confirmed she and Ashton Kutcher are divorcing. The couple were married in 2005, and recently, Kutcher’s been accused of cheating on the 49-year-old actress (15 years his senior) fueling rumors of a split.
“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. This is a trying time for me and my family, and so I would ask for the same compassion and privacy that you would give to anyone going through a similar situation,” read Moore’s statement to the AP.
Kutcher also chimed in on the status of their relationship, tweeting today: “I will forever cherish the time I spent with Demi. Marriage is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK”
