Demi Moore is reportedly seething over Rob Lowe’s decision to dig up memories of their past romance just as she prepares to confront a deeply painful chapter in her life: saying goodbye to her ex-husband Bruce Willis, who is currently battling severe health issues. Sources close to the actress reveal that Moore, now 62, finds Lowe’s resurfacing comments about their brief relationship during the filming of the 1985 classic St. Elmo’s Fire as both inconsiderate and misguided. Lowe, 60, made the revelations on a podcast with Kelly Ripa, casually mentioning, “Demi and I briefly – I’m not telling tales out of school – we briefly had a thing.”
A friend of Moore expressed her exasperation, stating, “This is absolutely the last thing Demi needs right now. All her energies are spent on helping to care for Bruce in what appears to be the twilight of his life. He’s slipping away faster than anyone thought.” As reported, Demi, Bruce, and their daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, have united with Bruce’s current wife, Emma Heming, and their children to provide support to the 69-year-old star, who is facing the challenges of dementia.
Insiders reveal that Moore has long regarded Lowe as self-centered, with one source commenting, “She always knew Rob was a jerk and this just proves her case. Clearly, he’s desperate for attention. If he had half a brain, he would have known not to even go there.” The emotional toll of Bruce’s condition is immense for Moore, who is focused on being present for him during this critical time. As tensions rise, one thing is clear: Rob Lowe’s comments might have irrevocably strained his relationship with Demi Moore.
