Moore: 'Willis struggled to adjust to Kutcher'

Demi Moore has revealed that her friendship with ex Bruce Willis was tested when she began dating new husband Ashton Kutcher.

The actress has remained close to Willis - with whom she has children Rumer, 19, Scout, 16, and 13-year-old Tallulah Belle - since they split in 2000 after 13 years of marriage.

She met Kutcher, 15 years her junior, in 2003 and the couple tied the knot in a Kaballah ceremony two years later.

However, the 45-year-old confessed that both she and Willis had struggled to adjust to the new situation, telling V magazine: "It wasn't a piece of cake. It wasn't automatic or easy. It took diligence and effort and even enduring awkwardness, and a lot of general giving on my part and Bruce's part. And really, tremendously, on Ashton's part. Coming into my life, Ashton just wasn't meeting somebody that had baggage. You know, I had trunks!"

She added that she harboured no bitterness towards her ex following their split, saying: "It's far more exhausting to be angry and blaming. You can dig deep within yourself and really have a desire for someone else's happiness, which I feel I do have for Bruce and he has for me."

A New York bar owner recently criticised Moore and Kutcher for being "up their own arses".
