Tallulah Willis is making rare comments about her relationship with her former stepdad, Ashton Kutcher.
The 31-year-old actress commented on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Instagram post where she spoke about her recent podcast episode with husband Brad Falchuk, in which they discussed stepparenting in their blended family. Willis, who is the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, noted in her message that she is familiar with the topic.
“I have a lot to say on this! Especially how to move through an ex- step parent ❤️❤️,” wrote Tallulah, whose mom, Moore, remarried Kutcher when Tallulah was 11. Moore and Kutcher were together from 2005 to 2013, until the pair divorced.

When another commenter asked if she was referring to Kutcher, Tallulah wrote, “This maybe should have been a private message lol but yes I have personal experience with this.”
She later added, “It’s an important conversation tbh ☀️,” and “also. No one needs to be bad guy for a situation to be healed. there’s room for everyone.”
Moore married Kutcher in 2005, three years after her divorce from her ex, Bruce. Kutcher, who was 25 at the time, is 15 years younger than The Substance actress. After their divorce in 2013, Kutcher went on to marry his That 70’s Show costar, Mila Kunis, and is now dad to two kids.
Tallulah has previously opened up about her experience when her mom began dating Kutcher. In a June 2023 episode of Fox’s reality series Stars on Mars, the actress said she didn’t quite grasp the gravity of how famous her parents were while she lived in Idaho as a kid.
“I knew my parents had this job that made them like this thing and we got to do cool stuff, but I didn’t fully understand,” she told other cast members on the show, after Ronda Rousey asked about Tallulah’s experience growing up with famous parents.
She then went on to admit that she went through difficult times after Moore began dating Kutcher in 2003.
“It was like, 2003, my mom had just started dating Ashton, it was that moment,” Tallulah told her fellow Stars on Mars castmates during the episode. “There was a lot going on. And I really went inside of myself and that did send me into a total dumpster fire.”
“It was really hard, and I’m still unpacking,” she added of coming to grips with her family’s fame amidst the end of her parents’ relationship and Moore’s marriage to Kutcher. “However, I found the other side of that, which is like — I really love myself now, and I love my family. I love my family.”
For his part, Kutcher has said that he still tries to make an effort to stay in contact with his former stepdaughters. Back in February 2020, Kutcher appeared on an episode of Marc Maron’s WTF podcast and said he still makes a “conscious effort to stay in touch” with Tallulah and her older sisters, Rumer and Scout.
“Tallulah was 8 or 9, she was the youngest. Rumer was 12 or 13 when we first started dating,” he said at the time. “When we were getting divorced, Tallulah was graduating high school.”
“I was helping raise teenage girls through their adolescence,” he added of his time as the sisters’ stepfather. “I love them. I’m never going to stop loving them and respecting them and honoring them and rooting for them to be successful in whatever they are pursuing.”
“I was never trying to be their father,” he went on to explain of his relationships with Tallulah and her sisters years after his relationship with Moore ended. “I always had respect and honored Bruce [Willis], and I think he’s a brilliant human being and a wonderful man. If they don’t want an engagement with me, I’m not going to force it upon them. But they all do and it’s great.”
