2003: Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher begin dating.

After her divorce from action star Bruce Willis in 2000, Demi dated martial arts instructor Oliver Whitcomb. Although there aren't many pictures of their relationship, it's clear she was looking for something more serious when she met Ashton. Demi was 41 and Ashton was 25 when the pair were first introduced after dinner out with friends.

The new couple made their first red-carpet appearance shortly after the dinner at the premiere of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle in June 2003. Shortly after they began dating, Ashton also converted to Kabbalah, a form of Judaism that Demi had also begun practicing. Ashton was raised in a Roman Catholic household, so his conversion was seen as a sign he was serious about Demi.

2010: Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher face infidelity rumors.

In January 2010, the couple launched the Demi and Ashton Foundation (DNA), an organization that seeks to protect children from being forced into sexual slavery.

However, in October 2010, rumors of infidelity had begun to surface, prompting the couple to take much-needed time away from the spotlight in Israel.

Demi's 2019 memoir, Inside Out, revealed that their marriage had already been fracturing from the inside at that point. Per People, Demi wrote that she broke her sobriety after 20 years and engaged in threesomes that left her feeling "shame" and may have sparked infidelity in Ashton. She wrote, "Because we had brought in a third party into our relationship, Ashton said, that blurred the lines and, to some extent, justified what he’s done."
