People Mag: Demi Moore was uncomfortable with Ashtons age difference

Publish date: 2024-06-13

Because of the holiday, the tabloids are probably releasing their covers and covers stories early this week, thus we already know that Demi Moore has taken this week’s cover of People Magazine. First, look at the cover:

It’s awkward, right? It looks like an old photo, but it also seems like her face doesn’t match her arms. It reminds me of this:

Right?

Anyway, nothing in the People story is really that groundbreaking. Of course, the bible of celebrity gossip isn’t going to run a story about Demi being on the down low with ladies, or even Demi and Ashton asking other people to come into their marital bed. No, People’s story is all about how Demi was a hot mess of insecurity and how Ashton has wanted out for a while, but how he was too big of puss to pull the plug himself:

It was an unlikely romance from the start – and in the end, the six-year marriage of Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore fell apart because of issues that had long fueled skepticism about their relationship: their famous 15-year age difference, his wandering eye, her insecurities.

As a result, the marriage “[had] been deteriorating for a long time,” a friend of Kutcher, 33, tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story. “Ashton was ready to end it, [but] he wanted to wait for Demi to actually do it. He loved her but couldn’t live with her. ”

Moore, 49, “really wanted to save the marriage but couldn’t deal with the pain of his cheating,” adds the friend.

“They were fed up with each other,” a second source tells PEOPLE.

Several friends note that the age gap between the former power couple – who are worth an estimated $290 million – caused Moore to doubt herself.

“If anyone was uncomfortable with the age difference, it was Demi, not Ashton,” says a Kutcher pal. “She drove him crazy after a while with questions and doubts.”

“If anyone was uncomfortable with the age difference, it was Demi, not Ashton”… yes, I’m sure that’s why Ashton was boning 20-something club girls. Because he had no problem with his wife’s age. And I’m sure said boning had nothing to do with Demi’s raging insecurity, right? As for the other stuff – yeah, I’ll believe that Ashton has wanted out for a while and he was just wanting Demi to pull the plug. And with the chicken-egg debate of Ashton’s infidelities and Demi’s insecurities and which came first, I’d say that they were both at fault to varying degrees. In my opinion, they’re both severely flawed people, I just happen to have some sympathy for Demi because… well, I think she was LESS in the wrong.

Oh, and TMZ reports that Ashton bought Demi a $100K Lexus for her birthday, just a few weeks ago:

Less than two weeks before Demi Moore announced she would divorce Ashton Kutcher, he threw a Hail Mary to save the marriage … in the form of a lavish, eco-friendly gift.

According to our sources, Ashton contacted a high-end car company, to buy a new set of wheels for Demi’s birthday. We’re told Ashton picked out a 2012 Lexus LS 600h L — and paid North of $100,000.

Our sources say Ashton wanted a quick deal — bagging the luxury hybrid on November 9, just two days before Demi’s birthday.

If it was meant to win back Demi … clearly it didn’t work. We don’t know if Demi accepted the vehicle or if Ashton was able to give it back to the car company.

On the upside — 22 mpg!

When you break up, you might give back the jewelry (only if they’re antique pieces from his family, I say), but do you give back a car? I say no. I say you keep the car.
