Demi Moore has shared rare insight into her 13-year marriage to Bruce Willis, revealing the sweet rituals of their time together.
The actress, who was married to the actor from 1987 to 2000, attended a private screening of Kate Hudson’s new Neil Diamond film, Song Sang Bleu, at Soho House in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
“This is a little personal, but Bruce always had Neil Diamond Day every week,” Moore said in a conversation with Hudson, according to People magazine.
“When I was watching the movie, I kept remembering when he was taunting Neil Diamond and I said, ‘What’s going on?'” And he said, ‘No, it’s Neil Diamond Day.’ ”
According to the Daily Mail, the 63-year-old “Ghost” star recalled that Willis “played Neil all day” and “kept doing it for years.”
“He was a huge Neil fan, and so am I!” she told Hudson, before raving about her “exceptional” performance in the semi-biographical film.
“Son San Bleu” is based on the true love story of Claire Sardina (Hudson) and Mike Sardina (Hugh Jackman), who formed the Neil Diamond tribute band “Lighting & Thunder.”
Together, the couple overcame hardships, including an accident in which Claire lost a limb.
Despite divorcing in 2000, Moore and Willis remained friends and co-parents of their daughters: Rumer Willis, 37, Scout Willis, 34, and Talulah Willis, 31.
The “Die Hard” star, who married his wife Emma Hemming in March 2009, told Rolling Stone in December 2000, “I still love Demi. We’re very close. We have three children and we’ll continue to raise them together, and we’re probably closer now than ever.”
In fact, Moore attended Bruce and Hemming’s wedding with her then-husband Ashton Kutcher.
“We’ve become like a tribe,” Bruce, 70, told W Magazine three months after marrying Hemming, 47. He later had daughters Mabel Willis (13 years old) and Evelyn Willis (11 years old) with Hemming.
In March 2022, the blended family put up a united front when Bruce announced that he suffered from aphasia and was retiring from a decades-long acting career.
They revealed his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia the following February.
