Demi Moore was married to her children's father Bruce Willis from 1987 until 2000. After Moore married Kutcher, the two men formed a perfect friendship. In 2010, Kutcher said that Bruce Willis was his friend, and they have seen a lot together. "At first it was difficult. You think, 'He's the guy who used to sleep with my wife', but once you overcome the jealousy… it gets easier…being with Bruce is normal to me now. We go scuba-diving, and skiing, we hang out with the girls together, we watch movies, we talk about sport," Kutcher said in an interview, per ContactMusic.

The couple was happy until Moore went through a miscarriage that affected her commitment to her kids and the two youngest daughters did not exchange a word with their mother for many years. 

During an interview on the Jada Pinkett-Smith show Red Table Talk, Rumer Willis, Moore's eldest daughter said that the marriage had taken a toll on them and the younger sisters don't even understand what's going on.

The star did admit that after the separation he never tried to engage with the kids as he thought that was their father Bruce Willis' place so they never hung out after that. However, Kutcher still shares a bond with Rumer, and the two were seen a couple of times hanging out together. In 2019, the two were seen at the Balck Market Bar in the Studio City neighborhood in L.A, as per PEOPLE

Talking to Marc Maron on WTF podcast Kutcher said, “I make a really conscious effort to stay in touch with the girls. Tallulah was 8 or 9 [and] Rumer was 12 or 13 when we first started dating” in 2003. He said explaining that during their relationship he had helped "raise teenage girls through their adolescence."
