There isn't one thing that led to the dissolution of Demi Moore's marriage to Ashton Kutcher. By all accounts, it seemed like a slow burn filled with betrayal, relapse, and codependency — but above all, the couple's bond was permanently fractured by Moore's miscarriage, which seemed like the last straw.
Moore, who lost the baby when she was about six months pregnant, revealed the devastating loss in her memoir (via Insider). At the time, she felt like Kutcher was too young to understand her grief no matter how hard he tried to connect with her. "First of all, he hadn't carried this baby," she wrote. "And second, he was in his twenties at the time: he wasn't remotely late to the game of fatherhood. His possibilities were not running out."
After the miscarriage, Moore and Kutcher still tried to conceive naturally. A few months later, they turned to in vitro fertilization and intrauterine insemination. When that didn't work, Moore started researching egg donor options. The pair found a match, but Kutcher allegedly backed out last minute. "Ashton told me, 'I don't think I can do this, and I don't know if this is working,'" she wrote, claiming Kutcher only gave her the go-ahead because he didn't think she'd actually "go through with it." The pair separated in 2011 and finalized their divorce two years later, according to People.
