Moore and Willis, 65,self-isolatedwith daughtersRumer, 32,Scout, 29, andTallulah, 27, in April at the Idaho home where they had raised their children before their divorce.
“It worked out that Bruce came and spent time with us,” Moore recalled, explaining that Willis' wifeEmmaand their two daughters —Evelyn Penn, 6, andMabel Ray, 8 — were able tojoin the group"a little bit later when the kids were finished with school"
“It was really a blessing,” the mother of three continued. “It’s everything that’s come forward has allowed us to reevaluate what’s important and what needs attention that has been overlooked and neglected. It was amazing.”
Moore added that her adult daughters “love their little sisters.”
“Our family regardless of what the shape of it is, it’s important to keep together and for the little ones to feel comfortable with me, and to know me so they also know their sisters better,” Moore said. “It was really sweet and we did have some silly times for sure.”
Moore and Willis were married for 13 years before divorcing in 2000.
In her memoirInside Out, Mooredetailed their split, writing, “It’s a funny thing to say, but I’m very proud of our divorce.”
