Ashton Kutcher Still Cares for Stepdaughter despite 'Dumpster Fire' of Emotions after He Became 'Other Dad'

• Tallulah Willis recalls her years as Ashton Kutcher's stepdaughter badly, but he tried his best as a stepfather.
• Ashton helped co-parent three children while he was in his twenties.
• Despite Ashton's divorce from Moore, he still loved and cherished her children.

Highly famous parents raised Tallulah Willis - actors Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. However, she didn't fully realize how famous her parents were due to spending her early childhood at their Idaho ranch.

Things only clicked for her when her family relocated to Los Angeles, and she entered the third grade at school. During an episode of "Stars on Mars," Tallulah confessed to knowing that her parents did something cool, but she didn't know what it was.

One of the other stars on the show described her as a "quintessential nepo baby," which was something she should own. The actress and Bruce welcomed three daughters during their twelve-year-long marriage that concluded in divorce in 2000.

The family remained close, and speaking on the reality show, Tallulah recalled when her mother started dating Ashton Kutcher, who was fifteen years younger, in 2003. During that period, the young woman withdrew into herself because a lot was going on as she comprehended that her family was famous.

Moore and Kutcher tied the knot in 2005, with Tallulah admitting that the period sent her "into a total dumpster fire," and it was "really hard," with her still working to unpack it in 2023. However, what she learned about herself was that she had self-love and love for her family.

In 2015, Moore's daughter admitted that she hadn't felt okay with who she was since age 11. That was the actress's youngest daughter's age when her mother married Kutcher, and they moved into their Beverly Hills home.

In 2011, Moore and the "That '70s Show" star separated before their divorce was finalized in 2013. Kutcher was relatively young when he took on the role of helping to co-parent the actress's children, and he had a different view of that period.

How Ashton Became the Stepfather of Demi's Three Girls in His 20s?

During their wedding day at their Beverly Hills home in 2005, Kutcher, then 27, and Moore, 42, were surrounded by 100 guests, which included the actress' daughters. The former couple initially met in 2003 in New York City during a casual dining experience.

He started dating her in May of that same year, and soon enough, he was a part of Moore's children's lives. Bruce's other daughters were Rumer, then 17, and Scout, 14, who learned to embrace their new stepfather as their third parent.

The three sisters started calling him MOD, short for "My Other Dad." In an interview at the time, Kutcher confessed that he and the three girls spoke about everything and that it was terrific, contradicting Tallulah's 2023 point of view.

The "Just Married" star became a father of three children with his marriage, fulfilling what he once confessed, that he "absolutely" wanted to have children. Kutcher was so dedicated to the new role that when Moore had to be on location for a shoot, he gladly stayed home and watched over his stepchildren.

In a January 2023 interview, the actor admitted how he was only 26 when he bore the responsibility of an eight, ten, and twelve-year-old. He envisioned that was how some teenage parents experienced their twenties.

Although Kutcher and Moore's marriage failed to last forever, it seemed his bond with her children was never-ending. Years after their divorce, the actor still went out of his way to stay connected with his former stepchildren.

Why Does Ashton Care For His Three Stepdaughters after Divorcing Demi?

Moore, who once fought for sobriety, found herself drinking again for the first time in twenty years while married to Kutcher. The former couple also tried having a biological child, but the actress experienced a late-term pregnancy loss.

The two stars also tried making their dream come true by doing invitro fertilization (IVF) for several years to conceive. In 2023, Kutcher admitted that losing a child he was looking forward to having was very painful.

However, he noted that people dealt with that type of loss differently, but he never touched on how he coped. The celebrity confessed to loving children and wouldn't have married Moore, who had three children, if he didn't love them.

Having more children would've been "incredible" for him, but he knew he couldn't change what happened during his marriage. Instead, he accepted their fate and had to have that experience, no matter the reason.

The celebrity [Ashton Kutcher] also vowed not to stop respecting and rooting for [Demi] Moore's children...

Speaking about their subsequent divorce, Kutcher admitted that their separation destroyed him. He said nothing made a person feel like a failure than divorce because it meant one had failed at marriage.

While Tallulah, Scout, and Rumer were adults now, the actor said he stayed in touch with them individually. He described them as having been "awesome" when he was married to their mother, and they were equally the same now.

During a February 2020 "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast episode, Kutcher revealed that he and Moore didn't hang out. However, he mentioned that things were good between them but his relationship with his stepchildren was better, with him stating:

"I make a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls."

The "Two and a Half Men" star felt being together with the trio's mother for eight years was a long time for him not to have established bonds with them. He recalled how Tallulah was eight or nine and Rumer twelve or thirteen when he first started dating their mother.

Kutcher confessed to having helped raise teenage girls through their adolescence stage. When Maron asked him how he maintained their relationship after all these years, "The Ranch" actor said:

"I've loved them, and I'm never going to stop loving them."

The celebrity also vowed not to stop respecting and rooting for Moore's children to succeed in everything they touched. However, the star clarified that he knew he wasn't their father and never tried to fill Bruce's shoes.

Kutcher shared how he'd always respected and honored the older actor because he was an incredible human being and man. He explained that if Moore's children didn't want to engage with him, he wouldn't force it, but the three women connected with him, and it was great.
