More than two decades after their divorce, Demi Moore is offering heartfelt insight into the bond she shares with Bruce Willis — a relationship that has evolved from Hollywood power couple to an enduring model of family unity and mutual respect.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly published on April 22, 2025, Moore reflected on what she is most grateful for in her ongoing relationship with Willis, particularly as he faces the challenges of frontotemporal dementia. “Regardless of what the outside relationship has been, we have maintained being a family in various forms,” Moore said. “The foundation of making our children our priority has never wavered.”
This sentiment captures the essence of Moore and Willis’ journey together. After marrying in 1987 and welcoming three daughters — Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah — their marriage ended amicably in 2000. But rather than drift apart, they redefined their connection, continuing to support each other through marriages, blended families, and now, profound health challenges. Their unity was especially evident when they famously quarantined together during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, underscoring their commitment to family above all else.
Their strong post-divorce bond has been a steady presence through major milestones. Willis attended Moore’s wedding to Ashton Kutcher in 2005, and Moore was present at Willis’ 2009 wedding to Emma Heming. Today, as Willis’ family navigates his dementia diagnosis — announced in 2022 — Moore remains a vital source of support, attending family celebrations and sharing touching tributes alongside Heming and their children.
On Willis’ 70th birthday in March 2025, Moore posted a loving carousel of family photos, celebrating not only Willis as a father but now also as a grandfather to Rumer’s daughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis. Emma Heming, too, shared her gratitude, highlighting the collective strength and love surrounding Willis as he faces his health challenges.
Moore’s reflections speak to a broader story of resilience and love. In a December 2024 interview, she described the family’s journey through Willis’ illness as “a great loss, but also a beauty” — a sentiment echoed by their daughter Rumer, who has praised the open communication and emotional honesty the family has embraced.
In an industry where breakups often lead to lifelong estrangements, Moore and Willis’ bond stands out. It’s a testament to a shared promise made decades ago — that their children would always come first — and a reminder that even after love changes form, family remains. For Demi Moore, that enduring commitment is what she’s most grateful for: a relationship that, through every twist and turn, has never stopped being rooted in love.
