Inside the Bruce Willis household: Why Bruce and Demi Moore isolated together in 2020

It all began in April 2020, when a photo surfaced online showing the Die Hard actor alongside his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and their daughter, Scout, all donning matching pajamas. The real twist? Bruce's current wife, Emma Heming Willis, and their two daughters – Mabel and Evelyn – were conspicuously missing from the frame. The burning question on everyone's mind was - why was Bruce isolating with his ex-wife and not his current family?

The answer came from none other than Scout Willis. She shared on the Dopey podcast how a sudden medical emergency had kept Emma Heming Willis in Los Angeles, preventing her from joining the rest of the family in Sun Valley, Idaho. "My stepmum was going to come up here too with my little sisters … but my younger sister … had an accident at a park," Scout revealed, recalling the unfortunate incident with a hypodermic needle that led to her stepmom's decision to stay back. The mounting travel restrictions at the time further complicated matters. As Scout added, “Travel got crazy, so my stepmom stayed in LA with my little sisters.”

Moore and Willis, who were married from 1987 to 2000, have always maintained an admirable friendship post-divorce. Being together in the very house where their children grew up, Scout couldn’t help but reminisce. "They’re both such nerdy, adorable ’90s parents in a small town where they chose to have their kids and not be in LA,” she fondly said.

Although the distance kept Bruce and Emma apart during those trying times, their bond stayed strong. Emma's heartwarming comment on the Instagram photo of the Willis family in matching stripy pajamas proved just that. She wrote, “Not many can pull that color off. Lookin’ good squad!”

Two years down the line, as we look back at this period, it's clear that family dynamics, especially in Hollywood, can be as unpredictable as they are heartwarming. Through the lens of the Willis family, we're reminded of the lengths families go to, to stay together, even during a pandemic.
