Well, it finally happened. Two years after separating, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore’s divorce has been finalized. Demi filed the first legal paperwork back in 2011, right after Star Magazine ran several cover stories on Ashton’s wandering dong and his penchant for club girls and Las Vegas strange. It felt like Ashton forced Demi’s hand by being so indiscreet – like, she would have stayed with him if no one knew about their arrangement, I think. But since he was outed as a cheater, she had to make her move. And then she spent the last two years trying to make Ashton “pay” financially. TMZ says that she and Ashton finally agreed to the divorce terms after Demi dropped her alimony claims though:
Ashton Kutcher has something to be thankful for this week — his divorce from Demi Moore was just finalized … TMZ has learned.
The docs were filed Tuesday afternoon by disso-queen Laura Wasser on Kutcher’s behalf, ending the marriage that began in 2005. The two had separated in 2011.
The reason it took so long for the saga to finally end (Ashton initially filed for divorce in Dec. 2012) — is because they were squabbling over money.
As we first reported, Demi wanted spousal support even though she’s worth way more than Ashton. Our sources say she backed off that claim.
We’re told … they ultimately reached a financial settlement and Ashton gave Demi somewhat more than he had to, but at least it’s finally over … and now he can focus on getting hitched to Mila Kunis (if he wants).
What I’m getting is that Ashton didn’t want to pay alimony but he was fine with giving her a lump settlement? Which is probably what I would prefer too. Just give me one settlement and I’ll invest the money and spend it how I choose and I don’t need the monthly reminder of your dumbass.
As for WHY Demi and Ashton finally agreed to a settlement… some think that Ashton is about to propose to Mila Kunis. Some think that Mila might be pregnant already too. I’ve thought that in the past (she gained some weight earlier this year), but I’m including some photos of Mila from last week and she doesn’t look pregnant to me at all.

I still don’t understand why she’s with Kutcher. If he wasn’t such an idiot it would be sweet because Kelso and Jackie finally get together in real life. I really hope she brings out the best in him though…which is probably not much.
Is he really that bad, I’ve always liked him. And I like him and Mila together.
But, yeah, it’s horrible what he did to Demi, even though she seems like a tough person to be with.
@Spooks,
I don’t care how bad a spouse Demi was. There is no excuse for cheating. If you are in a bad marriage man up and get a divorce first. Then chase all the tale you want as a single man. Cheating is disrespectful and hurts. Thing is celebrity men always get excused for cheating. We blame their wives for why they had to cheat. Have a celebrity woman like Kstew or Julia Roberts cheat and they get blasted for the rest of their lives by other women.
IDk, sorta read it like the marriage was so toxic and dysfunctional, and they were too, that openly, embarrassingly cheating to “force her hand” was his only way out (in his mind). And DM behavior these last 2yrs lends some credence to the thought she was refusing to let go in a sadly messed up way.. it speaks volumes when someone wants out so badly, they willingly act out in a way that clearly sets them up to be the fall guy. I like him too, mostly. And I hope he has done some serious soul searching and growing up, especially if he is going to be a father. And it would be awful to see MK get hurt, cause I dig that girl.
I have to admit, I think they are really cute together. He seems more tolerable since he has been with her. Maybe he has changed for the better?
You know, Ashton was quite young when he and Demi got together and from some of her behaviour recently, I’m sure there was a lot of stuff on both sides that made that marriage crumble & I think the fact that Demi’s daughters still clearly like him and keep in contact with him speaks volumes. I don’t think it was only Ashton and him cheating that was the problem.
Plus I would hate to have people make their final judgement of my character based on who I was in my twenties. People change, they mature (hopefully) and grow and learn. I was impressed by the speech he gave not long ago at the Teen Choice Awards. I think he’s a brilliant physical comedian and I think he and Mila are probably good together. They got to know each other before they made it big and That 70s Show was really what brought them both into the spotlight. So they probably have a trust and friendship with each other that would be hard to find with others that they meet now. I wish them happiness in their relationship and I also hope Demi gets her act together and finds happiness in her life. I used to really like and respect her (when she was younger and having her kids) but in recent years I’ve really been disappointed in how she’s been behaving.
I agree with all your points. Esp. making final judgments of someone in their 20’s. I made some of the worst decisions of my life in my 20’s. I wouldn’t go back there for anything!
I was watching ‘About Last Night’ for the first time recently (I was only born in 1990) and I can’t believe how amazing Demi Moore looks now. She actually looks better now than she did then. Who is her surgeon?! And why do the rest of Hollywood not go to him too?!
I’ve wondered the same thing! She is really gorgeous.
Yes, she looks awesome for her age. I want to know who her surgeon is too.
Kelso and Jackie? If anything it has to be Hyde and Jackie! 😀
But honestly I don’t really care who she dates. It’s her decision and I guess we’ll see if it lasts. Though I gotta say I really liked her and Macaulay together.
My mother’s best friend divorced her cheating doctor husband when I was in college. I was a teller where we all banked, and I remember when she’d come to deposit those checks, “How are you doing today?” “If I’d have just killed him, I’d have been out of jail already!” Haha yeah, take a lump sum and get on with life.
Poor Demi must not have heard the saying “living well is the best revenge”
I want Mila’s outfit. That is all.
i love the jacket!
Love the jacket and the bag. Pregnant or not she looks good.
She wore a baggy top a couple of times and now she’s pregnant. This is speculative nonsense and should be disregarded and ignored.
Incredibly X17 is trying to pin another pregnancy on Jennifer Aniston because she was carrying a top over her arm and it hid her stomach a little. LOL
Ashton has a lot to be thankful for.. getting this divorce behind him. I’m sure they will get engaged over the holidays, if they aren’t already. I see nothing attractive about Mila, she looks mad 24/7.
Yeah we need a designer ID on that jacket! I need it.
Not that I care much about Kelso, but I am happy that this saga is finally over. It will be interesting to see if he sticks with Mila/Jackie.
More importantly, I love Mila’s entire outfit here. **googles Mila Kunis/knit moto jacket**
American’s use a lot of paper bags for their groceries…
To be fair she has a TON of reusable bags in the back of the car. Don’t just generalize a whole nation.
I am not saying you. But, overall, Americans love to generalize and live solely on stereotypes. I have met many Americans that draw all conclusions knowing 1 person from a country.
Dear God… OK, let me clarify.
In the UK, I don’t think we use paper bags for groceries at all. As in, they’re all plastic bags or re-usable bags. Paper bags for groceries are not a thing over here. I was always fascinated (don’t ask me why, I have a small imagination!) by American films and TV shows at how they carried their groceries in paper bags. (Funny for this blog post, the one that sticks in my mind is Home Alone when Mac’s paper bag breaks when he’s walking home).
So, I am merely filling up space in the comment section of this blog by pointing out that Mila has a whole shopping cart full of those things I find fascinating – groceries in paper bags.
I’m not making a sweeping generalisation that American’s are all paper-wasting assholes who fk over the environment.
And Miss M – dude, seriously?! Way to ram the foot in my mouth even further in by shoving both your feet in too. Unless you’re being sarcastic and/or ironic. In which case, kudos to you.
It was the way it was written I guess. It seemed very judgey.
That’s not a generalization it’s fact. It’s got to be five percent Americans max (and I’m being crazily generous) who use reusable bags. I’m American. I’ve even lived in eco-conscious towns. I usually forget to bring my reusable, so I’m not saying I’m any better. The only way to get us to NOT use “paper or plastic?” is if stores removed the option by not supplying us with shopping bags. Stores wouldn’t do that because it would require we plan which would lead to spending less.
Who’s generalizing now, Miss M?
DC has a 5 cent tax on every bag you use from the store. So more people bring their own bags. I usually bring my own but forget sometimes too. I love the Brits comment about the paper bags in movies. I actually think Hollywood movies are one of the reasons so many people have bad perceptions of Americans because movies tend to generalize and stereotype like crazy so audiences see the same stuff over and over thinking what they are is reflective of our entire nation.
@Happyhat: I didn’t say you were generalizing, but people are too sensitive when someone is clearly asking a genuine question and they bring the “generalization card”. I am sarcastic and ironic, but what I didn’t say it clearly to the person that I answered (Whether you were generalizing or not, which you weren’t) is that it’s OK for Americans to generalize about others, but nobody can ask a question about their culture they get all defensive.
@K: At least I based myself on the fact that I lived in 3 different States for many years. I’ve heard many comments (which were not questions, they were statements) about my country that aren’t true by many many people over the years who never set feet there.
Gotta love the internet!
Though I’d say that often it’s the case that everyone can be both stupidly generalist about another country/region and mega defensive about their own, depending on the circumstances.
Better paper bags than plastic bags! Some european countries already have forbidden the use of plastic bags!
The plastic bags we use here in the UK are biodegradable within a year I think it is, and are also recyclable so wouldn’t be clogging up landfills
In Cali we can’t use plastic, as it’s not available ( even department stores only give out paper bags for a dime each). Plastic clogs up the landfill and is not biodegradable. We use cloth bags or paper. I have many cloth bags but many times choose to buy paper because a) it’s compostable and b) useful when recycling . I compost and recycle everything I can. Our town gets an A plus for environmental responsibility. Proud to be from Cali.
Actually, that’s only in select cities in Cali. Los Angeles proper still allows plastic bags, but the areas of West Hollywood and Santa Monica do not. In some places like Glendale and Burbank, they have taken advantage of the situation and they will charge you 10 cents per paper bag and refuse to give you a plastic bag and “encourage” you to buy a reusable bag instead.
Im in Lakewood Ca and all the surrounding cities like Long beach, downey, cerritos still use plastic.
My family and a lot of others I know use reusable now
I’m a little tickled that the paper bags (which carry her groceries) are in plastic bags as well 😀
OMG I didn’t even notice that!
Ugh, I can’t stand when people/stores do that, it’s so wasteful! I get plastic occasionally, but I always reuse or recycle them. Some stores near me do that double bagging all the time. I’ve also had cashiers watch me jam as much as I can in a reusable, and then put my three remaining items in three plastic bags, when it would all easily fit in one Or try to bag stuff in plastic before putting it in my reusable.
Where I live (Nor CA), they charge you for plastic bags. I use my re-usable bags as much as possible and frequent one particular store that uses only paper bags (with handles), and not a single one of them has ever broken on me. Then we put our recyclables in them and dump them in our recycle bin, which is part a mandatory part of our garbage service.
I also live in northern Cali and we cannot buy plastic bags in our immediate area. If you forget to bring your own bag you can only buy paper. Even Nordstrom and Macy’s give paper shopping bags. I can’t buy regular plastic ( which we used to use for doggy poop). We now buy biodegradable plastic bags for that.
HappyHat….you’re awesome. That is all.
the paper bags you see in movies/tv shows are not made of paper but some coated fabric. they use them because they do not squeak/make sounds while filming. that is the only reason why you see so many “paper” bags in movies
I have always thought that he and Demi had some sort of open arrangement, and his main fault was getting caught very publicly (which may have been intentional on his part). Maybe I’m wrong but whatever. He and Mila seem very into each other, and she has always appeared to be sensible so I actually like them together.
I like them together, too. He can be a douche, but I honestly don’t think he’s that bad. Some of it was to fit a certain persona, and some of it is that he’s now gotten older and seems more calmed down. I got the vibe that he and Demi had an open marriage, and the ending of the relationship was more for the embarrassment than anything else. SOMETHING was up since they weren’t spending their anniversary together to begin with.
Ashton’s choice of women is odd. With all his money he could take his pick in the sea. What he sees in Mila is beyond me-she’s coarse and physically unappealing.
Are you serious? She’s absolutely stunning, down to earth, funny – the whole package.
Nope. You should see her upclose. Makeup does wonders. Same for Cammie Diaz and a few other starlets. Oy.
I agree about the makeup stuff. With it she look incredible, without it she looks haggard and terrible. She’s just one of those celebs who can’t pull off a natural look.
@ ataylor and rtms and heidi
Because no man ever loves a woman for anything other than her looks, right? Everybody is as shallow as you.
Yup…she looks very different without makeup. I have seen her at cardio barre and I saw her with Ashton at a restaurant a couple of weeks ago. she is cute, but nothing special. He on the other hand is very good looking. He is not my type at all, but I would say he looks better in person! Too bad he is such a douche! Oh and Mila didn’t look pregnant but who.knows?!?
@Bread and Circuses – Take a breath. We’re not talking about love. We’re talking about looks. Two very different animals.
Actually @ataylor if you look at the OP, she was making the argument that Mila doesn’t deserve Ashton because she isn’t pretty enough apparently. For the record, I think she’s gorgeous.
Charming.
C’mon, it was Thanksgiving in America yesterday, and it’s Christmas in less than a month! Where’s the happiness?
I know right?
Happy Holidays, Amelia 🙂
Happy Holidays, Kitten! 😀
I took a lump sum over alimony in my divorce. I didn’t want the connection and feeling of dependence.
This is Mila’s best street style in a LONG time. She looks amazing. They don’t bother me as a couple…congratulations if the rumors are true! I hope the baby gets her eyes.
If Mila’s purported pregnancy were true, what a bitter pill it must be for Demi to swallow.
Uhm, but Mila’s jacket IS perfection, and Jackie looks lovely & healthy – which is a nice change from the typical starlet’s emaciated look.
She does look great. Best I’ve seen her in a long time. Adore the jacket.
Totally agree. Part of me was very happy when I noted her very flat ass in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Now the bitch puts on a few pounds, has an amazing ass, and is totally perfect. Served.
thats a far reach from tmz saying she is pregnant because she didnt want to be papped. mila has never been into that and especially at the start of their relationship she avoided them even harder.
im sure she wants kids, she has talked about it a couple of times and mila is not the type to say that to gain sympathy with the minivan majority. also considering that she seems to be the long term kind of girl, she was with Culkin for eight years or something and didnt date around like all the other starlets.
i can see her dropping acting completly and being a producer or doing something not in the entertainment industry. she must have same nice cash, she doesnt seem to live a lavish life and the family guy paychecks must be good. she has practically worked since that 70s show (or even before?)
From what I’ve heard, she wasnt exactly faithful to Mac either so I think Mila and Ashton are meant for each other. I’m not a fan of either one. He’s a douche and she’s known around L.A. to be an uber beeyotch (to non-paps) from those who have encountered her around town. And yeah, he and Demi had an open relationship. It was no secret. It was absurd for Demi to start acting like such a victim when she herself was a willing participant.
Decent human beings are a rarity in this town. No joke.
My cheating ex lives in LA now, hearing that makes me realize LA is perfect for him!
@Yuya – I feel the same way about a few of mine. I’m itching to get the heck outta this place again, but I realized that career-wise I need to be here so I came back. Let me tell you, it’s still a cesspool of immoral pond scum, especially in the areas where I live, work and socialize. LOL. L.A. is a huge city, but BECAUSE of its size, most people tend to repeatedly congregate in very specific places.
I’m hoping Demi finds happiness and peace. The way this marriage ended was totally unecessary. Ashton is a douche.
This is clearly another category of existence all together, but lump sums can be a dicey proposition- one can blow a lump sum for any number of reasons, and then that’s it. Additionally, alimony can be increased in some cases. Yes, the monthly reminder is there, but so is the money.
i dont get this american way of paying for your ex. Isn’t it ridiculous – to pay alimony for a grown up person just because u used to be in marriage? I mean, unless children are involved.
There are cases where alimony makes sense – for instance, if one spouse hasn’t been working for many years because they’ve been raising the family’s children, they may need a few years of support while they update their training and find suitable work. Other times, it’s difficult for there to be a straight out property division because that would require selling a family business, and a series of payments works better for both people.
But neither of those situations seems to apply here, and it’s probably for the best that they decided to skip alimony.
You know, Demi didn’t have to exit this situation looking as foolish and pathetic as she did. She could have moved on gracefully and done her crying behind closed doors.
It’s never too late though–she could find herself a hot older guy and start living her life with style, pleasure, and verve and, as to her ex-, she could demonstrate nothing but graciousness.
Do it, Demi, do it!
Poor Demi, disgusting Kutcher, idiot Kunis. How is he any better than that creep who cheated on his wife with Kristen Stewart? Yet everybody seems to root for his latest relationship because they can’t separate television from reality. It’s almost as bad as those nutters thinking Gosling and McAdams should be together because they were so cute in that film. F sake humanity.
Personally, I think Ashton and Demi were already seperated when the pics of him and that girl came out, but they hadnt announced anything, yet. They hadn’t been together for a while and didn’t spend their anniversary together…just my opinion…plus, weren’t there rumors that Demi didn’t like his family and would never let him see them…and yesterday, Mila and his mom were grocery shopping together….
Made the same point Kelly. I agree with you. When famous celebrity men cheat people find ways to excuse their behavior or blame the wife. When it’s a celebrity woman *Kstew* they might as well wear a scarlet letter for the rest of their lives. What’s sad is this comes from other women.
B.S. The situations are not equivalent. KStew knew the wife and kids and still decided to mini-Cooper the man whereas Demi’s boy-toy strayed publicly in their likely open marriage. Not the same at all. I agree women get shamed more than men but that’s because women care about this stuff and therefore bitch about it and we also expect better behavior from women than men.
Eh, she could easily be hiding a pregnancy under that outfit. Not nine months pregnant, but a pregnancy none the less.
Regardless of everything going on between the three of them, I simply want to know where Mila’s jacket is from. I love it.
That IS a nice jacket.
She is pretty when she’s done up, large, gorgeous eyes.
Sigh. Am I the only one who doesn’t get the hype about this girl?
This is my first comment ever on this site! Lol. Though I have been logging in daily for three years now, it’s almost like y’all are family! ☺
Sweets;
Welcome!! It’s a lot of fun, huh? 🙂 I actually like Mila, don’t care for Aston, but for some reason like them together. She seems to bring out the best in him, perhaps.
She has looked so mopey, dumpy and depressed since she started dating him. I think Mila is so gorgeous–amazing figure, beautiful face. But it seems like every picture of her since she got with him, she’s wearing yesterday’s clothes with a huge frown on her face.
I think she hates getting papped
Ashton and Demi both make me shake my heads. He behaved badly during the marriage (even if it was only by being indiscreet) and she’s behaved terribly during the separation. Hopefully they’ll both move on now.
As for Mila being pregnant, who knows? We’re so used to hearing stars announce at 5 or 6 months that I think we sometimes forget that there’s a long period when a woman knows but doesn’t appear pregnant. But it’s just as likely Ashton is just tired of 2 years of negotiations and wants to be a single man again.
@LunchComa: Great analogy about Ashton & Demi’s relationship.
Demi & Ashton both knew what they were getting into with this relationship. Ashton was always going to leave at some point and Demi has had issues for a very long time. Both can move on now. No more drama.
Wow. Demi was finally forced to move on with her life despite all her attempts not to do so. She probably doesn’t even realize this is a good thing for her.
Really, now a woman twenty years older than a man (I think) and Demi’s surprised it didn’t work out. To me, she’s the one for the entire fiasco, because she (with some wisdom of her elder years) should have know it was a stupid match. It’s her fault she bagged a extremely much younger man and expected the marriage to work out. What a dumb thought.
That’s a good pic of Demi! And who decided Mila was pregnant? She’s slimmer than ever!
Shut up, Meg.
It is very very known that Ashton and Demi were swingers. So the cheating angle is moot. Unless Mila and Ashton are “soul mates” somehow, my respect for her has significantly lowered.
Honestly, I think Ashton Kutcher is a massive douche and he did it for the publicity and also to get out of something he didn’t have the guts to initiate.
I agree that Mila can look absolutely amazing – but only with a ton of makeup. She’s not the brightest so she is probably compatible with Ashton Kutcher. The thing with Demi Moore was never going to last; I hope Moore’s having a better time with her yoga man.
Those jeans are awfully tight for a pregnant chick. I wouldn’t think that’s comfy. She is letting her roots grow out though, so the hair dye seems to have stopped.
