The former couple had a rocky relationship while they were married to each other. Even their decision to be each other’s better half came only after dating each for a few months. However, they had to be good parents to their three children, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, which they nailed by raising the bar for co-parenting following their divorce in 2000.

In an interview with Rolling Stones, Bruce Willis expressed his thoughts on his relationship with his former partner, Demi Moore.

“I still love Demi. We’re very close,” he shared. “We have three children whom we will continue to raise together, and we’re probably as close now as we ever were.”

He continued,

“We realize we have a lifelong commitment to our kids. Our friendship continues. The institution has been set aside. It’s difficult to live your life and marriage under a magnifying glass, which is what happens to movie star couples.”

Their relationship as per Willis was quite difficult when they were in the public eye. However, even if they were “star couples” who broke apart, they continued to support each other.

The G.I. Jane actress in her memoir Inside Out opened up more about the pair’s thoughts on their divorce and the possible outcomes they could have to deal with by observing many such cases. However, they decided to take precautions not to make their divorce an obstacle to their parenting goals.

She wrote in the memoir,

“I think Bruce was fearful at the beginning that I was going to make our split difficult, and that I would express my anger and whatever baggage that I had from our marriage by obstructing his access to the kids.”

Adding that Bruce Willis was anxious about her using those ploys as weapons to snatch his parenting rights, she added, “But I didn’t, and neither did he.”

Though their separation was indeed difficult and so was co-parenting, however, they “gave the girls a loving, supportive environment with both parents.”

“It’s a funny thing to say, but I’m very proud of our divorce,” she wrote in the memoir.

Despite their heartbreaking divorce, their parenting goals made them closer than they were in their marriage. They continued to be each other’s supporters who love their kids and gave them a positive environment to grow in.
