Demi Moore was married three times: to musician Freddy Moore from 1981 to 1984, actor Bruce Willis from 1987 to 2000, and actor Ashton Kutcher from 2005 to 2013. Moore and Kutcher separated in 2011. Her marriage to Willis included their three daughters; her later account of the Kutcher marriage is best understood as her perspective, not as a definitive explanation agreed to by both former spouses.

The dates summarize the public chronology; they do not capture every private detail of the relationships. Biography.com and TV Insider/Swooon support the broad timeline.
Freddy Moore: her first marriage
Moore married musician Freddy Moore in 1981 and took his surname professionally. The marriage ended in divorce in 1984. Swooon provides additional detail, reporting that the couple separated in 1983, Moore filed in September 1984, and the divorce was finalized 11 months later. The broader 1981–1984 range is the clearest way to state the marriage timeline without implying a precise wedding or finalization date.
Bruce Willis: marriage, daughters and co-parenting
Moore and Willis married in Las Vegas in November 1987. Their daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah were born in 1988, 1991 and 1994. They separated in 1998 and divorced in 2000.
#1 Best Overall
In an interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, Moore described their shared effort after the separation to make their daughters feel secure and loved: “I think that we did a magnificent job of making sure that our children knew they were loved.” The emphasis on their children offers important context for the years after the marriage ended. ABC News’ interview coverage reported Moore’s comments.
Ashton Kutcher: dating, marriage and separation
Moore and Kutcher began dating in 2003 and married in 2005. Their 15-year age difference drew attention: a 2019 ABC News interview reported that Moore was 40 and Kutcher was 25 when they met. Moore reflected on that dynamic to Sawyer, saying, “I was a 40-year-old who had a big life.” That is her description of her experience, not a complete account of how both partners viewed the relationship.
The couple announced their separation in 2011. Biography.com reports that Moore filed for divorce in November of that year; the divorce was finalized in 2013. Biography.com provides the filing detail, while ABC News covered Moore’s retrospective interview.

The public record establishes the separation and divorce dates more clearly than it establishes a single cause. In her 2019 memoir, Inside Out: A Memoir, and interviews around its publication, Moore discussed a miscarriage, relationship difficulties and alleged infidelity. Those are Moore’s accounts of a private marriage; allegations should not be presented as independently established facts or as a mutually confirmed explanation for the divorce.
The Los Angeles Times noted that Moore’s book reflected her point of view. ABC News reported that Kutcher and his representatives did not comment on her book for that report. Readers looking for Moore’s fuller first-person account can turn to Inside Out: A Memoir, while keeping that distinction between her recollection and the documented timeline in view.
