There’s a lot of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher gossip in this week’s tabloids, but most of it is related to Ashton’s recent Nightline interview and the overanalysis about whether he wants Demi to get pregnant because she is, in his words, a “genetic freak”. However, In Touch Weekly does have an interesting story about Demi getting jealous over Ashton’s newest costar, Natalie Portman.
An insider tells In Touch that Demi Moore is “worried” about Ashton and his Friends With Benefits costar Natalie Portman spending time together.
“It’s driving Demi crazy… she knows how much Ashton loves her, but she’s concerned that he is working with Natalie, who’se almost 20 years younger than she is.”
Demi can be very self-conscious about the 15-year age difference between herself and her husband – and having to watch him film sexy scenes with 28-year-old Natalie “isn’t making it any easier.”
Demi has never been jealous of Ashton’s costars before, but she may be on to something this time. Three days after Ashton and Natalie filmed a steamy kissing scene, Ashton told Howard Stern that love scenes are like “free cheating.” Though he was careful to add that he confessed everything to his wife because she’s his “best friend,” the insider says that Demi isn’t as cool with it as she’s letting him think.
“I’m sure Ashton doesn’t even realize it’s bothering Demi,” the insider says.
“Natalie has had some on-set romances in the past,” a friend tells In Touch, adding that even thought she’s in a serious relationship with dancer Benjamin Millepied, she still flirts with other men. “She is in love with Ben, but Natalie has always had a way with men.”
And though she no interest in getting a rep for being the “other woman” it’s clear Natalie has chemistry with Ashton. “Natalie loves his sense of humor and likes spending time with him,” says the friend.
“Demi has told Ashton that she’s visiting him on the set to get to know Natalie,” says the insider. “But she’s actually going to check up on him.”

Yeah, I totally doubt all of this. I doubt Ashton is all over Natalie, and I doubt she finds him charming in the least. Most of all, I doubt Demi is insecure about Ashton at all. The subtext seems to be that Demi is a bundle of insecurity just because Natalie is younger, when clearly that’s not what Ashton cares about.
Going back to the whole “Demi Moore is a genetic freak” thing, Us Weekly also has a story about Demi undergoing fertility treatments in the hopes of having Ashton’s baby. According to that source, “Ashton has been uneasy that things haven’t happened fast enough… he’s constantly calling the doctor to find out is there’s something else they can do to get pregnant. It has to be exhausting. He’s ready to be a dad.” The source also claims: “They’re not even thinking of a surrogate as an option. At least not yet.”
I would imagine Natalie thinking she’s too high brow for Ashton.
I just saw a few minutes of Demi on some show the other night, and even with my non-HD TV, I could see that she’s done something to her face. It was waxy and too smooth, and didn’t really move as she talked.
Natalie didn’t seem to mind being Sean Penn’s other woman.
Demi doesn’t need to worry. Ashton wants a mom and most women his age are not interested in mothering him.
Their dynamic: I need to mother and control/I need a mother and to be controlled — totally works for them. So Demi has no need to worry.
Of course she’s jealous and insecure. Any woman as obsessed with maintaining a youthful appearance as Demi is would be terrifically insecure and jealous of the real thing—-something she must know she can never recapture.
But trying to have a baby seems all kind of crazy to me.
She and Bruce Willis have daughters who are adults.
She’d be like a grandmother to any kids she and Ashton have.
I love the photos you find for these stories! LOL
If the whole pregnant thing doesn’t come through I wonder if they’ll consider surrogacy? Would Ashton use it as an excuse to leave her? It’s possible that Demi is insecure because he might fall for someone younger who would be willing to give him more kids, I doubt one alone would satisfy him. 15 yrs is a big difference, I would feel insecure too.
@Lucy — you took the EXACT words out of my mouth! Funny. You’re, of course, absolutely right.
I remember reading stories, when Demi and Ashton first got together, about how crazy jealous she was he was filming Cheaper By The Dozen. Don’t ask me how I remember that…
@ Maritza
I think that he said when he did the whole genetic freak article that he and demi have been raising her three daughters and are finally happy to have sometime to themselves, and i think i believe him. Ive never really heard him talking about kids so maybe coming into a relationship with half grown kids was enough for him. he may eventually want her to conceive but i dont hink hes deluded himself enough to believe she will be able to push out kids forever and i think hes fine with it
@Lucy was it the Marriage ref? cuz i was def comparing her face to Kelly Ripa’s and she did a lot of laughing with just her mouth only lol. “smizing”
Hmm…I don’t know much. But MAYBE, if you want to have biological offspring you shouldn’t marry a 50 year old????
I may be the only one that thinks this, but I can totally see these two f-cking.
its clear that demi’s jealous over anyone (which is almost everyone) Ashton co-stars w hangs w or even talks to cuz she’s realizing her age is FINALLY catching up w her despite her plastic surgeries/injections that she’s so often and NOT convincingly denies.
i saw him on stern.
he ain’t goin’ nowhere.
its a wrap….she’s already sucked the swallow out of him….hell didn’t you see “Closer” she prolly flashed the million dollar snatch in front of him and he ate her like refugees at a buffet.
LOL! What a strange picture of Natalie to choose for this article.. hahaha.
Demi should be very worried!
NP is the much younger woman who doesnt mind being a side dish.
What if Aston prefers eating from her much fresher plate?
“And though she no interest in getting a rep for being the “other woman” it’s clear Natalie has chemistry with Ashton.”

She ALREADY has a rep for being the “other woman” – with Sean Penn and will Ben Millepied, who she hooked up with when he was living with another woman. Guys who cheat suck, but the “other women” aren’t innocent paragons of virtue, either.
Jujube, to be fair, Moore was only 42 when they got married, and she’s currently 47, the same age as Travolta’s now-pregnant wife.
Jus’ sayin’.
@ Ming– please refrain from ever using another metaphor.
Natalie Portman is young enough to be Demi Moore’s daughter. No wonder she is jealous!
How does anyone know. yawn. Demi, Ashton, Jollie, . . . She could be jealous, she could not be. He likes hot Natalie while Demi lies about plastic surgery and age insecurities . . .
Boringl
now there’s a hilarious story !!..
natalie is quite the tiny teeny smurf with an enormous head ..
i highly doubt there is any truth to this story ..
no way would ANYBODY be jealous sorry ..
After looking at the 3 she anmd willis poped out I would give up on having kids if I were Demi.
I’m going to go out on a limb here. Could be just me, but if kids are a priority to a guy, don’t you think it would come up in conversation during the year or so that he’s seriously dating a 41 yr. old? C’mon. I’m sure that they’ve talked about their expectations concerning that, just like any other married couple. I doubt he married her expecting a Duggar. I’d be insecure if I were Demi too. Hollywood is one big cheating cesspool. But to his credit, Kutcher seems to love her, based on the fact that he married her despite the naysayers and the age difference. I hope they make it.
Me think- age got nothing to do with love. Don’t be surprised that Ashton has no interest on d other woman. Every woman has a form of ‘insecurity’ or another. We are only quick to x-ray other people’s lives without looking back at ourselves.
Kuddos to Asthton and Demi if they are having a child. Demi is obviouly healthy and Ashton must love her lots for being in his postion he could have tons of women. Age has no factor in chemitry, connection and love.
I wish them the best and hopes their marriage lasts and they have a healthy baby if that is their wish.
I could care less if Demi and Ashton stay together or divorce. BUT, I definitely believe that Ashton cheated on Demi more than once. This is her 3rd marriage, she’s got 3 or 4 children and she came with lots of baggage. He’s young, hot and charming so I’m not surprised he’s cheating. Demi’s a fool to put up with this but one can see how desperate she is to hang on to him which is a very unattractive trait to have. Men can’t stand that and eventually, they stray.
Demi is 16 yrs older not 15. 1962/1978. It’s just too old for a young, hot guy. One day he’ll wake up and say, “Who’s this old lady I’m with?” It’s fun in the beginning, but very challenging to last a lifetime. It’s sad but true.
