Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher are ending their marriage after six years, breaking up one of the most widely followed May-December romances Hollywood has seen.
The marriage between Moore, 49, and Kutcher 33, has been in trouble since late September when a San Diego woman went public about a brief affair she had with Kutcher.
Moore released a statement saying, "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."
Kutcher quickly followed on Twitter, tweeting, "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."
Moore was married twice previously, the first time to singer Freddy Moore and the second to Bruce Willis, with whom she has three children.
