Would a baby have saved Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher‘s ill-fated marriage?

The heartbroken, erratically-dating 50-year-old believes so, and she’s telling close friends that if she’d been able to have a baby with the 35-year-old Two and a Half Men actor they would still be together, a source tells RadarOnline.com.

Yikes. I would not have supported bringing a baby into THAT household.

“Demi tried for YEARS to get pregnant with Ashton,” a source says. “She was in her early 40s when they first got together, and she put her body through hell trying to have his baby.”

Ashton was already a dad-figure to Demi’s daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah Willis, but Demi desperately wanted to fulfill her much younger husband’s wish for his own biological children, the source says.

“Ashton wanted a child from day one, and Demi knew he would make an amazing father after seeing how great he was with her girls. Sadly though, time wasn’t on Demi’s side, and she was never able to fulfill his baby wish.”

Ugh, if this is true this is SO sad.  Childlessness leading to a breakup? Is it crazy or logical?

“Demi believes in her heart that if they had had a child together, there wouldn’t be a divorce going on right now,” the source says. “She thinks if there had been a baby at home Ashton wouldn’t have been out partying with friends, and he wouldn’t have had the chance to cheat on her.”

Hmm. Sounds like this breakup was for the best, as Demi sounds…well, a little crazy. Or does she? What are your thoughts?
