Ashton Kutcher's alleged infidelities became the center of reports that he and wife of six years Demi Moore were headed for a split but insiders now reveal to Life & Style that the problems are far more serious than have been revealed.
A family friend exclusively tells the new issue of Life & Style--on newsstands now--that their relationship had fallen apart weeks before Ashton's alleged cheating incident--and Ashton has moved out of their home.
The reason? According to the friend, Demi has fallen back into dangerous habits and while Ashton has been urging her to get help, he made the decision to move out in early September. "Demi had been sober for a long time -- decades -- but recently it's gotten bad," the insider reveals to Life & Style. "Ashton loves her, but he can't stick around and watch her do this to herself."
While a rep for the star denies the report, the insider tells Life & Style that Demi's family has united behind Ashton's tough-love approach and wants her to get help. "Her daughters, Scout, Rumer and Tallulah, and her ex-husband Bruce Willis want her to be healthy," says the family friend. "The whole family is taking a stand to help Demi."
Ashton's reported affair with 23-year-old Sara Leal has certainly made matters worse between the couple but the friend insists Ashton loves his wife. "He may have fooled around with this girl, but his wife is his priority," the family friend tells Life & Style. "Ashton's trying to deal with Demi's problems."
Demi battled substance abuse in the early '80s and briefly spent time in rehab while shooting St. Elmo's Fire.
