Demi Moore was taken aback upon learning that her former husband, Ashton Kutcher, had been unfaithful to her through a surprising Google alert notification.

The ex-couple was reportedly in the process of attempting to conceive a child via IVF when Demi was blindsided by the distressing revelation of his cheating, as reported by Film News sources.

During the completion of her directorial debut in the TV movie “Five” back in 2011, the Ghost actress disclosed that she directly approached Ashton after receiving the alarming news.

Upon questioning him about the truthfulness of the accusations, the 56-year-old actress recounted that Ashton promptly admitted to the affair, leaving her stunned and incredulous.

Recounting the tumultuous period in her life in her revealing memoir “Inside Out,” Demi emphasized that she has come to terms with the conclusion of her eight-year marriage with Ashton.

Reflecting on the aftermath, she expressed, “I have gained a sense of clarity and closure regarding the dissolution of our relationship, realizing that it encompassed more profound personal insecurities beyond the surface level.”

Demi opened up about the emotional toll of experiencing a miscarriage, her ardent desire for motherhood, and struggles with substance abuse, all of which significantly contributed to the disintegration of her bond with the younger actor.

In a candid admission, she described feeling utterly lost, desperate, and consumed by confusion during that turbulent period in her life.

Acknowledging her own vulnerabilities and faults, Demi recognized the strain her emotional turmoil placed on Ashton, leading to a natural inclination to withdraw from the intensity of the situation.

Despite the challenges faced, Demi revealed that she and Ashton have managed to maintain an amicable relationship post their separation six years ago.

While Ashton and his representatives have refrained from issuing any statements regarding Demi’s revelations, the actor hinted at crafting a caustic response before reconsidering his actions after reflecting on his familial responsibilities.

In a moment of reflection, Ashton shared a tweet where he disclosed his initial impulse to post a sarcastic comment but opted against it upon considering the impact on his family.

He remarked, “I almost succumbed to posting a cutting remark, then I glimpsed my children and wife, prompting me to delete it.”

Navigating through life’s complexities, both Demi and Ashton continue to tread separate paths while maintaining a semblance of mutual respect and cordiality following the tumultuous events that unfolded between them.
