Ashton Kutcher has spoken of his relief at marrying Demi Moore because he is no longer referred to as her "boy toy". The Punk'd star, who at 27 is 15 years younger than his new wife, says he was starting to get annoyed with the jokes made about their age gap.

Ashton, who has become stepfather to Demi's three daughters by ex husband Bruce Willis, told Britain's OK magazine, "I'm proud to be the husband of Demi Moore and the stepfather of her three wonderful girls. I hope the love that we share can resonate around the world so that someday I can hear its echo. Besides, 'boy toy' just never sat well with me."

Ashton married Demi in romantic ceremony last month, which was attended by Demi's three daughters, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, as well as Bruce. Earlier this year, Demi made a joke of her relationship with Ashton, who she met at a movie premiere in 2003 by dressing up as an old lady. The sexy actress donned a grey wig, heavy prosthetic make-up and an unflattering dress to poke fun at the people who have criticised her fordating the Just Married star on the popular show Saturday Night Live. During the sketch, a puzzled-looking Kutcher said, "These magazines that focus on our age difference - I just don't get it."
