Demi
Moore and Ashton Kutcher's split up in November 2011 but the divorce has just
been finalized.
According
to TMZ, Ashton's lawyer Laura Wasser filed the
documents in a Los Angles courthouse on Tuesday after the couple finally agreed
on a financial settlement, which had been holding up proceedings.
The website reports Kutcher, 34, gave Moore, 51, more money than he had
originally planned in order to dissolve their marriage. While the former
Hollywood power couple seemed to be on friendly terms when they were spotted
chatting at LAX Airport last month, there are thought to have been battling
over money for some time.
A source
recently told the New York Post's Page Six: 'There had been lengthy
negotiations between lawyers for both sides about the financial settlement — in
particular, how much he owed her from their marriage.
'They have finally come to an agreement that was acceptable to all
sides.' Demi is believed to be worth $150 million in her own right, but
reportedly wanted spousal support from her ex-husband - a contentious issue,
given her vast wealth.
Meanwhile,
Ashton became the highest-paid actor on television when he replaced Charlie Sheen
as the leading role in Two And A Half Men in May 2011 for a staggering $750-000
per episode.
The star has also made lucrative investments in various technology
companies, and earlier this week signed on to the project for Lenovo's new
Android tablet as a spokesman and product engineer. Ashton and Demi didn't sign
a prenuptial agreement when they tied the knot in September 2005, meaning the
actress could, in theory, be entitled to a proportion of her former beau's
earnings while they were together.
The Two
And A Half Men star filed for divorce in December 2012, a year after the couple
first parted ways.
In her papers, filed in March 2013, Demi cited 'irreconcilable
differences' as the reason behind the split, and stated the official date of
separation as November 17, 2011 - two months after Ashton's alleged one-night
stand with party girl Sara Leal. While Demi has had a few brief relationships
following the split, Ashton has gotten serious with his former The '70s Show
co-star Mila Kunis.
Now the
divorce is final, Ashton reportedly can't wait to get a ring on Mila's finger
and is said to be planning on taking her to Hawaii as soon as he can. A source
recently told The Sun, 'Demi and Ashton's divorce has
cast a cloud over his and Mila's relationship because it's dragged on for so
long.
'Thankfully
Demi's turned a corner. She's no longer bitter and she wants the divorce over
and done with as soon as possible so she can get on with her life too.
'Ashton's
free to officially propose to Mila. Both of them want to marry and have
children.'
