The 34-year-old `Two and a Half Men` actor - whose six-year marriage to Demi collapsed last November amid claims he had a one-night stand - is believed to have met up with his estranged wife following her release from Utah`s Cirque Lodge rehab facility.

But a source insists the meeting with Demi - who reportedly received treatment for addiction and an eating disorder - was more for the sake of her and ex-husband Bruce Willis` three daughters Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and Tallulah, 18, who Ashton remains close with.

The insider told People Magazine: "They are not getting back together. He knew it was important to her daughters."

Meanwhile Demi, 49 - who suffered a seizure at her Los Angeles home on January 23 after allegedly smoking an unknown substance - is thought to be recuperating in the Caribbean.

According to E! News, the `Ghost` star was spotted on a private beach near Parrot Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands, at a resort that can only be accessed by boat.

A source said: "She`s just been chilling out," while a second insider added: "She`s in no rush to get back to Los Angeles. She`s on total lockdown and only talking to a small group of people."
