DEMI Moore and Ashton Kutcher have reportedly been living apart for months with the power couple expected to battle it out in a bitter $290 million divorce case.

The couple, who have been married for nearly six years, have been living apart following Kutcher's alleged cheating, according to Star magazine.
"It was definitely a long time coming, but they're finally done for good," an insider told the magazine.
Moore, 48, and Kutcher, 33, have been living on opposite coasts, with Kutcher filming Two and a Half Men in Los Angeles and Moore working on her upcoming movie Magic Mike in New York.
A source told Star that the couple were "just putting on a show until they officially split."
An insider revealed that Kutcher's cheating was what ended the marriage, saying "Demi's finally ready to move on."

Star reported that Kutcher's relationship with a sexy blonde university student was the final straw and that the marriage had weathered another case of infidelity when the actor bedded Brittney Jones just before the couple's fifth wedding anniversary.
Last year, Star magazine reported that Kutcher and Jones had sex on the actor's couch after meeting at a bowling alley.
With the marriage essentially over, the couple will spend plenty of time arguing over their $US300 million ($306 million) in assets, the magazine reported.
Already worth $US140 million, Kutcher will make $US700,000 an episode for Men, making him the highest-paid actor on TV. Moore, meanwhile, is worth $US150 million and has seen her stock fade over the past few years.
Sources speculated the couple should have split years ago.
"They've been faking it for the cameras for way too long," said an insider. "They both need to be honest with themselves and finally tell the world."
Tongues were wagging this week when Moore stepped out solo at the New York Lifetime premiere of Five looking even skinnier than usual.
She also posted an ominous tweet quoting Greek philosopher Epictetus, "When we are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself & study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger," she wrote last week.
Representatives for Moore and Kutcher did not respond to requests for comment.

Demi Moore mused about how to deal with 'anger' the night before spending her wedding anniversary alone last weekend, it has emerged.
The 48-year-old actress is facing claims she has 'separated' from her husband of six years amid fresh rumours of infidelity.
Ashton Kutcher, 33, who is 15 years her junior, allegedly had a liaison with another woman after an alcohol-fuelled evening on Friday, according to U.S. showbusiness  website Radar Online.

It said it was given the information by ‘multiple friends of the 23-year-old woman’, named by another website as Sara Leal.

She has reportedly hired a top Hollywood lawyer and gone into hiding.
It is the second time in a year that Kutcher, 33, has been accused of cheating on  48-year-old Miss Moore.
The latest alleged encounter happened on the 12th floor of the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, California, in the early hours of Saturday – the Hollywood couple’s sixth wedding anniversary.

Kutcher and the woman had apparently been partying at a club in the city. One fellow clubgoer said: ‘Ashton didn’t look like someone who was celebrating a wedding anniversary.’

U.S. website thedirty.com named the woman as Miss Leal and claimed she wanted £160,000 for her version of events.

It added that ‘Kutcher told Sara Leal that him [sic] and Demi Moore are separated and the public doesn’t know yet.’

Kutcher’s bodyguard was also said to have taken Miss Leal’s mobile phone before she entered the hotel room.

On that same night, the eve of their anniversary, Moore was tweeting from the East Coast, where she is temporarily based.

She shared a quote from Greek philosopher Epictetus on September 23, writing: 'When we are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your anger.'

Three days later, the star, who has lost weight in recent weeks, posted a picture of herself looking forlorn, with the caption: 'I see through you.'

In other messages this month, she said she was 'trying to find the light I lost.'
The claims emerged as Star magazine, a U.S. supermarket tabloid, reported: ‘Ashton and Demi have separated and the marriage is over.’

A source close to the pair reportedly added: ‘The relationship ended because of Ashton’s serial cheating. It’s a painful time for Demi.’ Kutcher was first accused of  infidelity in September last year, when Brittney Jones, 21, said she had sex with the actor at the Beverly Hills home he shares with his wife while she was away.

She told Star: ‘He looked over our texts and said he wanted me to delete all the messages from him. He then told me he wanted me to delete the texts I had sent to him. He said they could hurt him.’

At the time, the couple, who are worth  an estimated £95million, brushed off the allegations.

Kutcher, who recently took over Charlie Sheen’s role in hit U.S. TV series Two And A Half Men, wrote on Twitter: ‘I think Star magazine calling me a “cheater” qualifies as defamation of character. I hope my lawyer agrees.’

He added: ‘Star magazine – you don’t get to stand behind “freedom of the press” when you are writing fiction.’ Kutcher’s spokesman also denied the allegation while Miss Moore tweeted ‘Excellent point my love!’

Miss Moore, who was previously married to Bruce Willis, started dating Kutcher in 2003. They married two years later.

But this year they spent their anniversary apart. Miss Moore was in New York to promote a short film which she has directed called Five, while Kutcher headed to San Diego to party with fellow actor Danny Masterson.

Representatives of Miss Moore and Kutcher have not commented.
