Things were made a bit more complicated when Moore’s daughter with Bruce Willis already had a strong celebrity crush on Kutcher.</p>

<p id=”par-2_47″>Moore already had a full household by the time she was dating Ashton Kutcher. <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-many-children-does-bruce-willis-have-and-how-old-are-they.html/”>She and Willis shared three children</a> in Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah Willis, with Rumer being the oldest. When Kutcher began seriously dating Moore, he felt prepared to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood.</p>
<p id=”par-3_27″>“I was twenty-six, bearing the responsibility of an eight-year-old, a ten-year-old, and a twelve-year-old,” Kutcher once told <a href=”https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/movies/a42698761/ashton-kutcher-your-place-or-mine-interview-2023/”>Esquire</a>. “That’s how some teen parents must experience their twenties.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_25″>But fortunately, Kutcher asserted that he had no problems with kids back then. Which might’ve made taking on the responsibility of fatherhood a bit easier.</p>
<p id=”par-5_22″>“I love kids,” Kutcher said. “I wouldn’t have gotten married to a woman that had three kids if I didn’t love kids.”</p>
<p id=”par-6_24″>But Kutcher’s relationship with Moore was initially an awkward situation for Rumer. This was partially because Rumer considered Kutcher one of her celebrity crushes.</p>

<p id=”par-7_81″>“It was strange when mom, who is <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/what-is-the-age-difference-between-demi-moore-and-ashton-kutcher.html/”>15 years older than Ashton</a>, started seeing him [in 2003]. I was 15 and he was a heart-throb to me – I had pictures of him on my wall,” Rumer once said according to <a href=”https://www.contactmusic.com/rumer-willis/news/rumer-willis-kutcher-was-my-heart-throb_1080380″>Contact Music</a>. “I remember mom saying her new ‘friend’ was going to hang out with us. I said, ‘What’s his name?’ and she said, ‘It’s Ashton’. And I said, ‘Whoa – Ashton Kutcher?’ I freaked out a bit and blushed.”</p>
<p id=”par-8_19″>The awkwardness between Rumer and Kutcher was only short lived, however, after seeing Kutcher’s positive affects on her mom.</p>
<p id=”par-9_20″>“I realized I’d never seen my mom happier. It was like watching two sixteen-year-olds going to the prom,” she said.</p>

<p id=”par-10_43″>Kutcher and Moore would eventually try to give birth to a child of their own. Moore became pregnant in 2003, but experienced a miscarriage six months afterwards. It was a very challenging time for the couple, who handled the situation in different ways.</p>
<p id=”par-11_34″>“Losing a kid that you think you’re going to have, and that close to thinking you’re going to have a kid, is really, really painful,” Kutcher said. “Everyone deals with that in different ways.”</p>
<p id=”par-12_16″>As devastating as the moment was for Kutcher, Kutcher asserted that he wouldn’t change a thing.</p>
<p id=”par-13_21″>“The idea of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/how-many-kids-does-ashton-kutcher-have.html/”>having another kid</a> would have been incredible,” he said. “For whatever reason, I had to have that experience.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_28″>But Moore’s pregnancy at the time also had an affect on Rumer. Rumer admitted that the attention on Moore’s and Kutcher’s new child made her feel cast aside.</p>
<p id=”par-15_54″>“With Ashton, I was so angry because I felt like something that was mine had been taken away,” Rumer said on <em>Red Table Talk </em>(via <a href=”https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rumer-willis-demi-moore-ashton-kutcher_n_5dc17db6e4b03d0aad005fab”>HuffPost</a>). “When she wanted to have another baby and then it wasn’t happening, and there was so much focus on that, it was like ‘Oh, well we’re not enough.’”</p>
<p id=”par-16_33″>Rumer had a change of heart after seeing older pictures of Moore pregnant. That, and her maturity, made her feel like she was being very inconsiderate towards her mother’s situation at the time.</p>
<p id=”par-17_43″>“I think after you had a miscarriage, I literally was just like, ‘Why are you so desperate to have another kid?’ I couldn’t stand the idea,” Rumer told Moore herself. “But then I found these pictures, and I was like, ‘Oh my god.’”</p>
<p id=”par-18_27″>“‘Oh my god, I was so insensitive,’” Rumer remembered thinking at the time. “I never once went to you and said, ‘I’m so sorry,’ ‘Are you okay?’”</p>
