Moore and Willis share three daughters: Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31.

“We will always be a family, just in a different form,” Moore said.

Despite the end of their marriage, Moore has maintained a strong friendship with Willis and has been a pillar of support for his wife, Emma.

According to Variety, she visits Willis weekly and plays an active role in his life, as well as in the lives of his younger children.

Moore emphasized the importance of maintaining a loving relationship despite divorce, saying, “For me, there was never a question. I show up because that’s what you do for the people you love.”

She hopes that her experience can serve as an example for others navigating co-parenting after divorce, demonstrating that "there is life after divorce. There is a way to co-parent with love."

Bruce Willis' health update and public appearance

BWillis was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, leading to his retirement from acting.

His condition later progressed to frontotemporal dementia, which was publicly announced in 2023.

While discussing Willis' health with CNN's Christiane Amanpour in December, Moore reassured fans that he is currently in a "stable place."
