Family dynamics certainly changed when Rumer Willis learned that her teenage crush, Ashton Kutcher, was dating (and eventually married) her mother, Demi Moore.
“It was definitely weird for a minute, but you know I have to commend him,” the 26-year-old actress detailed to Howard Stern on SiriusXM on Wednesday. “He was a really great stepfather and the perspective shifted very quickly.”
Moore and Kutcher, who is 15 years her junior, famously began dating in 2003, tied the knot in 2005 and split in 2011.
The “Dancing with the Stars” contestant admits that she had a Kutcher poster on her wall as a kid, but says there came a moment when she replaced it with a photo of another Hollywood hunk.
Willis also says she never told her mom how attractive she thought Kutcher was, but confessed her feelings to one of her sisters. “I feel like I told my sister that at some point, ‘Man! Alright, well, gotta cross him off,’” she quipped about giving up a fantasy.
Despite her initial thoughts about Kutcher, Willis says she never mistrusted her mother’s relationship. “I was kind of impressed,” she admitted of her mom landing the younger actor. “I was like, ‘Yeah, girl! Get it!’”
Moore and Kutcher’s marriage made headlines recently when Scott Eastwood shared that his ex-girlfriend may have been responsible for the power couple’s breakup.
