Here, we take a look at Demi’s personal life including her dating history, marriages, and family.

Hence why I’m single.’
Born Demi Gene Guynes, her last name Moore comes from her first marriage to singer Freddy Moore in 1981 when she was just 18.
In her 2019 memoir Inside Out, Demi opened up about the doubts she felt the night before their wedding ceremony.
‘The night before we got married, instead of working on my vows, I was calling a guy I’d met on a movie set. I snuck out of my own bachelorette party and went to his apartment,’ she wrote.
‘Why did I do that? Why didn’t I go and see the man I was committing to spend the rest of my life with to express my doubts? Because I couldn’t face the fact that I was getting married to distract myself from grieving the death of my father.
‘Because I felt there was no room to question what I’d already put in motion. I couldn’t get out of the marriage, but I could sabotage it.’

After their split, she dated Emilio Estevez after they met on the set of St Elmo’s Fire with the couple getting engaged the following year.
But before their wedding, Demi called off their engagement when a $2 million paternity suit was levied against Emilio by an ex-girlfriend.
By 1985, Demi began dating Die Hard actor Bruce Willis in what would become one of her most highly-publicized relationships.
Demi has also dated martial arts instructor Oliver Whitcomb and musician Sean Friday.

However, in 1998, they announced their shock separation. Their divorce was finalised two years later.
The pair have remained close, however, with Bruce telling Rolling Stone in 2000: ‘We have three children whom we will continue to raise together, and we’re probably as close now as we ever were.
‘We realize we have a lifelong commitment to our kids. Our friendship continues. The institution has been set aside.’
Additionally, Demi told Variety last year: ‘I hope it’s encouraging for others to see that there’s a different way to do things.
‘There is life after divorce. There is a way to co-parent with love.’

Demi regularly shares health updates on her ex-husband, telling crowds at the Hamptons International Film Festival in October: ‘The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is. But for where he’s at, he is stable.’
When were Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher married?In 2003, Demi began dating Ashton Kutcher before tying the knot two years later.
Writing in her memoir Inside Out, Demi recalled meeting Ashton and the immediate connection they had.
‘He was 25. I was 40. But I’m telling you: we couldn’t feel it. we were totally in sync, from our very first conversation,’ she said.
‘When I met Ashton it almost felt like a do-over, like I could just go back in time and experience what it was like to be young, with him – much more so than I’d ever been able to experience it when I was actually in my twenties.’

They split in 2011 after months of speculation about their marriage, with Demi claiming he cheated on her twice during their relationship.
‘Because we had brought a third party into our relationship, Ashton said, that blurred the lines and, to some extent, justified what he’d done,’ she wrote in her book.
In 2012, shortly after his split from Demi, Ashton began dating his That 70s Show co-star Mila Kunis whom he married in 2015.
Does Demi Moore have any children?Demi has three children from her marriage to Bruce – Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31.

Scout also went into the world of acting and producing, best known for her work on Moonlight Kingdom as well as roles in Bandits and The Scarlet Letter.
While pregnant with Scout in 1991, Demi posed nude on the cover of Vanity Fair which sparked controversy worldwide and sparked numerous parodies.
Tallulah also had roles in Bandits and The Scarlet Letter and has appeared in The Whole Ten Yards.
Demi was previously estranged from her daughters after relapsing into substance abuse, but they now enjoy a close relationship.
Tallulah wrote in an Instagram post on Mother’s Day in 2020: ‘Channeling love and strength to every mother to be, tired mamas, step moms, and mamas who’ve lost something precious.
Tallulah opened up on Demi’s previous estrangement from her children (Picture: Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic)‘I’m sending it to anyone who struggles to celebrate a day when it reminds them of a loss.’
She continued: ‘I didn’t talk to my mom for almost 3 years and during that shattered time this day would transport me from fragmented pieces to absolute dust.
‘I remember tearing up driving to work upon hearing a radio ad that cheerily recommend which “perfume Mom would absolutely adore”.’
Tallulah added: ‘I digested the entire celebratory nature of the day as an insensitive slight to MY pain and MY story. However, my story changed.
‘Through a metamorphosis of inward self-reflection and a malleability to forgive, 3 years did not stretch to forever.’
‘The gratitude of that truth has never lost its potency. I am magnetically transfixed by my mother, if you know me personally you know the magnitude of her presence in my life.’
Saying she learned many life lessons from her mother, she concluded: ‘The here and now is a day that started with a running hug to my maternal deity and a sloppy cheek kiss. I revel in all that you are @demimoore and all that you continue to teach me.
‘I witness what this day means for you, and where you came from. Every nook and cranny of you is worthy and gilded. I love you. eternally your baby, Tallulah Belle.’
