The couple we never expected to split: Demi and Ashton
It’s official – after six years of seemingly content matrimony the couple that gave ‘cougar’ a new meaning is calling it quits. In 2005, the then 43-year-old Demi Moore gave older women everywhere hope when she tied the proverbial knot with teen heart-throb , Ashton Kutcher. When rumours surfaced, this past September, about Kutcher’s apparent romp with one rather verbal Sara Leal (and on his sixth wedding anniversary, just to add insult to injury!), this bond began to break. Now, after what appeared to be a brief attempt to ‘try again’, Moore has decided to put her foot down and call it quits. And we can’t blame her one bit.
In an interview with the Associated Press, she expressed her belief that there are simply some lines that shouldn’t be crossed.
‘As a woman, a mother and a wife, there are certain values and vows that I hold sacred,’ she stated. Only minutes later Kutcher tweeted with a hint of remorse, ‘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’.
And so the romantic fairytale comes crashing to the ground. A sad state of affairs (pun intended) but perhaps not entirely surprising. After all, we are talking Hollywood and while Kutcher is in his prime, Moore, although still gorgeous, is almost 50. It certainly does beg the question: do relationships that span generations really work? And perhaps more importantly, can women truly play it like men and easily date younger guys? We’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter…
