Reitman for 10 years, including three years of marriage.[7] The couple separated in March 2005,[7] and Elizabeth filed for divorce in late June 2005.[8] Some media outlets speculated that the cause of their breakup was Reitman assisting in a practical joke on Elizabeth for Ashton Kutcher's (who played her on screen boyfriend Michael Kelso in That 70s Show) MTV television series Punk'd, a year before their divorce, which involved leading Elizabeth to think that she was caught on a sex tape.[9] Animal Avengers, a non-profit animal rescue organization founded by Elizabeth and her then-husband Reitman,[2] is dedicated to rescuing and finding a home for homeless pets, reducing pet overpopulation, promoting responsible pet guardianship and preventing animal cruelty.
