"Tallulah I think was like eight or nine, she was the youngest. Rumer was 12 or 13 when we first started dating. When we divorced, Tallulah was graduating high school."
Ashton and Demi met in 2003 — when he was 25 and she was 41 — and married in September of 2005. In November of 2011, Moore announced the marriage was ending, but the divorce wasn't finalized until two years later.

Kutcher has been married to his former "That 70s Show" co-star Mila Kunis since July 2015. They share five-year-old daughter Wyatt, and three-year-old son Dimitri.
