Title: 'Bachelorette' Couple Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez Split
http://www.ivillage.com/gone-splitsville-celebrity-breakups/1-b-16462#403763
Main points:
After months of speculation of Ashton Kutcher's affair, Demi moore fainally state the divorce of them. Demi says "It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I have decided to end my six-year marrige to Ashton." Ashton also said on Twitter that "I will forever cherish the time I sepend with Demi. Marrige is one of the most difficult things in the world and unfortunately sometimes they fail. Love and Light, AK"
My opinion:
I was so surprised to hear the news because they were really really good couple. Although there is a big fifteen-year-old difference in age between 48-year-old Demi and 33-year-old Ashton, they had shown their love to each other on public until quite recently. It is a pity.
