Ashton Kutcher is currently married to actress Mila Kunis. However, in the past, the actor was married to actress Demi Moore. His ex-wife was fifteen years his senior and had three daughters from her own previous marriage.
While they divorced years ago, the actor’s behavior with his former stepdaughters has always been exemplary. Keep reading to learn more.
Ashton Kutcher was once listed as one of the 100 most influential people by Time Magazine. The actor is also a producer and entrepreneur and has made his mark on this world.
The actor was considered a heartthrob in the early 2000s, and when the news about him dating “Ghost” star Demi Moore broke out, he understandably broke a lot of hearts.
While the couple had a fifteen-year age gap, it never bothered them. Kutcher would often appear on the red carpet with Moore and her daughters.
The couple began dating when Kutcher was 23 years old at the time. He was in New York while hosting “Saturday Night Live” when he met the older actress. When he met the”G.I. Jane” star he had no idea he was meeting his future wife. But the evening proved to be successful and the couple went on to date for two more years before they tied the knot.

As he became Moore’s husband, he also became a step-father to her three daughters from her previous marriage to Bruce Willis. During his marriage to Moore, Kutcher made sure to maintain not just a civil but a friendly relationship with Willis.
But it was not always easy to be friendly, the actor shared, “At first it was difficult. You think, ‘He’s the guy who used to sleep with my wife’, but once you overcome the jealousy… it gets easier…being with Bruce is normal to me now. We go scuba-diving, skiing, we hang out with the girls together, we watch movies, we talk about sport.”
While Moore had three daughters from her previous marriage, the couple decided to expand their family by having children together. However, Demi’s pregnancy resulted in a miscarriage. The couple’s attempt at starting a family affected Moore’s relationship with her daughters negatively. Her youngest daughters Scout and Tallulah had a strained relationship with Moore for years afterward.
In an interview, Rumer, Moore’s eldest daughter with Willis, shared some inside details. She shared how it strained her mother’s relationship with her younger sisters and often Rumer would serve as the intermediary between them. She said, “So much of that time, especially with Ashton, I was so angry because I felt like something that was mine had been taken away. When [Demi] wanted to have another baby and then it wasn’t happening…it was like, ‘Oh, well, we’re not enough.'”
All of this began taking a toll on Moore who became more withdrawn. Even those around her began to notice the change in Moore and encouraged Rumer to speak to her mother about it.
It seemed like Moore was struggling with her role as a guardian. Later on, Moore shared about that time, saying her relationship with Kutcher was too co-dependent, “The addiction and the co-dependency, my addiction to Ashton, that was probably almost more devastating because it took me seriously away emotionally.”
Just six short years after they said “I do,” the couple divorced. And while it was sad that it had ended, during the relationship, they did share some very special times between them.
While Kutcher himself had only been 25 years old when he became a step-father to three girls, he was very hands-on with the role. He attended parent-teacher conferences, took the girls to their training, and essentially helped in raising them in whatever capacity he could.
Before he separated from Moore in 2009, he helped Rumer with buying a house worth $971,500. Nine years after that, he signed off his share on the Hollywood Hills home; an incredibly generous gesture.
The actor would always maintain how honored he felt at being a stepdad. He once said in an interview, “Being a part of molding anyone’s life is an incredible thing. It’s an unbelievable addition to my life. I feel like they’ve been shafted in the deal. I get four of them, and all they get is me. They got the short end of the stick.”
Now, years after divorcing their mother, the actor shares that he still has the girls in his heart. 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.”
He has always been careful for people the girls to know that he never intended to be their father or replace Willis in their lives. So following the divorce from their mother, he decided to hold back and let the girls take the lead on what they wanted their relationship with him to be like. As a result, he has never forced them to hang out with him or even meet him.
In 2018, Kutcher’s current wife Kunis opened up about her husband’s love for the girls. She said, “He was younger, but he loved those kids.”
The age difference between Kutcher and Moore’s oldest daughter Rumer was only ten years old. And according to reports, the two have maintained a friendly relationship with one another over the years.
Kutcher has always publicly supported Rumer, once by supporting a piece she wrote on bullying as well as asking people to vote for her when she was on “Dancing With the Stars.”
In 2019, the duo was even seen hanging out with one another at Black Market Bar in the Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles. It was a casual outing and the two of them were comfortable in one another’s presence.
He made sure to sign off his 50% stake in the house he helped his step-daughter buy for worth $971,500. Even after he divorced her mother, he made sure to be kind to the girls!
According to legal documents, the actor filed a grant deed as a married man which made Mila Kunis, his second wife a part owner of the 1,800-square-meter home. After this Kunis filed a quitclaim deed which gave Rumer Willis all of the rights to the home.
Earlier this year, the actor opened up about his divorce with Moore. He said, “Nothing makes you feel like a failure like divorce. Divorce feels like a wholesale fucking failure. You failed at marriage.”
As for the rumors about his infidelity, the stars says they are “humiliating and embarrassing,” explaining that while some may be true others are not. Despite their messy divorce, the couple still remain respectful of one another.
Ashton Kutcher is a fine example of an honorable man; despite his divorce with Demi Moore. The actor made sure to honor his relationship with Rumer Willis and went above and beyond what would be expected of him.
