The pair were spotted at Bruce Willis's vacation home earlier in November, supposedly working on their marriage.

Major announcement on a Thursday which...
Let’s come back to that.
Demi Moore confirmed to The Associated Press that she will file for divorce from Ashton Kutcher.
"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.”
The San Diego cheating scandal broke 7 weeks ago. For almost 2 months she has struggled with this decision. And as I have written here many times, for her the alternative, leaving him, at her age, in her mind, it was terrifying. But we all asked...
Wasn’t the humiliation much, much worse?
The answer, finally, is yes.
You have to wonder too though if he forced her there. This is a man who behaved like he wanted to get caught. Because he desperately wanted to get out. It’s a cowardly move.
But her move...
Now what’s this?
Normally when they want to attract the least amount of attention during the news cycle, they bury it on a Friday at 5pm so that everyone’s gone home and they can take cover for the weekend.
The fact that she chose to do it today, Thursday, pretty much guarantees that it’ll be the main focus all day tomorrow. And she’ll get at least 3 out of 6 tabloid covers next week too as she’ll have given them enough time to prepare their upcoming issues. Plenty of time to prepare their issues. Line up interviews. Get new information from sources. Send her friends out there to start talking.
Demi has been around a long, long time. She knows how this game works. It’s no accident that she chose today to do this. So ...what does it portend? Everybody’s calling everyone else. Will keep you posted.
LuukMagazineDemi Moore is ending her marriage to fellow actor Ashton Kutcher, she told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Moore, 49, and Kutcher, 33, were wed in September 2005, but 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. 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,” she said in her statement to the AP.
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.”
Moore said in 2007 that her May-December relationship with the star of “That ’70s Show” and “Punk’d” — who is 15 years younger than Moore — “caught us both by surprise.”
“If somebody would have said, ‘OK, here is the prediction: You’re going to meet a man 25 years old and he’s going to see being with you and having your three kids as a bonus,’ I would have said, ‘Keep dreaming,’” Moore said in a 2007 interview with Vanity Fair. “I think it caught us both by surprise, and particularly him.”
Kutcher became a 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 remained friendly. Moore and Kutcher were photographed socializing with Willis, and the couple attended Willis’ wedding to model-actress Emma Heming in 2009.
Moore and Kutcher created the DNA Foundation, also known as the Demi and Ashton Foundation, in 2010 to combat the organized sexual exploitation of girls around the globe. They later lent their support to the United Nations’ efforts to fight human trafficking, a scourge the international organization estimates affects about 2.5 million people worldwide.
Moore can be seen on screen in the recent films “Margin Call” and “Another Happy Day.” Kutcher replaced Charlie Sheen on TV’s “Two and a Half Men” as is part of the ensemble film “New Year’s Eve,” set for release next month.
Moore, 49, and Kutcher, 33, are among Hollywood's Twitterati, expressing – and defending – their love in 140 characters or less to their millions of followers.
Less than two years ago, in fact, all seemed well in their Twitter-verse.
"you are the best. the sweetest and I am crazy about you mr kutcher!" Moore Tweeted to her husband – he's aplusk on Twitter – in March 2010.
And even when reports of infidelity by Kutcher first started swirling in September 2010, the couple put up a united front, with Moore posting this TwitPic of them cuddling.
But a year later, when a new round of reports circulated of a second affair by Kutcher, Moore's tone changed.
Last September, she posted a photo of a broken heart with this message: "2day can U feel some1 else's heart pain needs desires as U can feel your own? At the core we're all reaching 4 the same."
Kutcher answered the allegations with this post: "When you ASSUME to know that which you know nothing of you make an *** out of U and ME"
