Ashton Kutcher says he'll 'never stop loving' Demi Moore's daughters despite her tell-all memoir
Despite his ex-wife alleging he engaged in threesomes and other infidelities during their eight-year-long marriage last year in her explosive tell-all memoir, 'Inside Out', Ashton Kutcher has said that he will never stop loving Demi Moore's daughters, Rumer, 31, Scout, 28, and Tallulah Willis, 26.
The 'No Strings Attached' actor made the candid revelations on Monday’s episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast. He said that he came into Moore's daughters' lives when they were quite young and although he was no longer on friendly terms with his former spouse, he does make a “conscious effort to stay in touch” with her daughters.
“It was eight years,” he said of his relationship with Moore. “Tallulah was eight or nine, she was the youngest. Rumer was 12 or 13 when we first started dating. When we were getting divorced, Tallulah was graduating high school.”
Since he was a big part of their lives and saw them grow up before his eyes, he said that he never gave up on his affection for them. “I was helping raise teenage girls through their adolescence,” he said. “I love them. I’m never going to stop loving them and respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they are pursuing."
Bruce Willis, Moore's first husband, was the biological father of Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah - a fact that was not lost on Kutcher. He said he would never force them to be in contact with him as he was not their real parent.
“I think you try…but at the same time I am not their father. I was never trying to be their father. I always had respect and honored Bruce [Willis], and I think he’s a brilliant human being and a wonderful man,” Kutcher explained. “If they don’t want an engagement with me, I’m not going to force it upon them. But they all do and it’s great.”
Despite a 15-year age gap, Kutcher first began dating Moore in 2003 after they met at a dinner party. They got married in 2005 but divorced in 2013.
