Demi Moore shared rare insight into her 13-year marriage with Bruce Willis by revealing a sweet ritual from their time together.
The actress — who was married to the actor from 1987 to 2000 — attended a private screening of Kate Hudson’s new Neil Diamond movie, “Song Sung Blue,” at Soho House in Los Angeles on Wednesday night.
During a conversation with Hudson, Moore said, according to People, “This is a little personal thing, but Bruce always had, every week, Neil Diamond Day.”
“Watching the movie just kept reminding me of when he would blast Neil Diamond, and I’d say, ‘What’s going on?’ And he said, ‘No, it’s Neil Diamond Day.’”
Per the Daily Mail, the “Ghost” star, 63, recalled that Willis “played Neil throughout the day” and “kept on doing that for years.”
“He was a huge Neil fan. And so am I!” she told Hudson before gushing over her “extraordinary” performance in the semi-biographical film.
“Song Sung Blue” is based on the true love story of Claire Sardina (Hudson) and Mike Sardina (Hugh Jackman), who formed the Neil Diamond tribute band “Lighting & Thunder.”
Together, the couple overcame hardships, including an accident that left Claire an amputee.
Despite their divorce in 2000, Moore and Willis have remained friends and co-parents to their daughters: Rumer Willis, 37, Scout Willis, 34, and Tallulah Willis, 31.
“I still love Demi. We’re very close. We have three children whom we will continue to raise together, and we’re probably as close now as we ever were,” the “Die Hard” star, who married wife Emma Heming in March 2009, told Rolling Stone in December 2000.
In fact, Moore even attended Bruce and Heming’s wedding with her then-husband, Ashton Kutcher.
“We’ve become like a tribe,” Bruce, 70, told W magazine three months after marrying Heming, 47, with whom he went on to welcome daughters Mabel Willis, 13, and Evelyn Willis, 11.
In March 2022, the blended family put on a united front when announcing that Bruce had aphasia and would therefore be retiring from his decades-long acting career.
They revealed his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis the following February.
