Did you guys know that Demi Moore and Soleil Moon Frye were best friends? I didn’t. My guess is they met through their husbands as Soleil’s husband, Jason Goldberg, produced Punk’d with Demi’s ex, Ashton Kutcher. So how do we know they are truly best friends? For starters, Demi got Soleil in the divorce. More conclusively, Demi’s been present at the birth of all Soleil’s children. Soleil and Jason have four kids – Poet, 12, Jagger, 10, Lyric, four and Story, two (sounds like Rumer, Scout and Tallulah’s mom gave name advice as well). But Demi wasn’t just present, she near about delivered the last one.
Demi Moore — actress and birth doula? The Ghost star, 55, has helped her BFF Soleil Moon Frye deliver four children. “She’s been in all my birth rooms,” Moon Frye, 42, gushed to Us Weekly on Wednesday, August 8. “She’s like a doctor. She’s like, ‘Alright. I’m here. Step back everybody.’”
Moore was especially helpful when the Punky Brewster alum was in labor with her son Story, now 2. Moon Frye knew her baby was about to come out and her obstetrician wasn’t in the room. “Demi gets the phone with the doctor, she’s like, ‘If you’re not gonna do it, I’m gonna do it,’” recalled the Nutrisystem ambassador. “She was ready. But then [the doctor] walked in and within five minutes, the baby popped out. He literally, like, shot out.”
“Demi is an incredible advocate and supporter of mine and really an incredible friend,” gushed Moon Frye. “I feel like she’s a really good detector of bulls—t!”
I got a pretty good giggle over the image of Demi prepping to catch the baby. Imagine her throaty voice barking at you to push, I’d dig it. Although, I also wonder why there was no medical presence in the birthing room of a woman in active labor? I guess the nurse saw GI Jane was there, assumed all was under control and popped down to the vending machine for a granola bar.
I’m stumbling a bit over that last part, though. I do believe Demi is probably a good friend. She seems like the type that once you become part of her world, you’re family. But is Demi “a really good detector of bulls—t”? She was friendly with Terry Richardson at one point. Not to mention the fact that she was married to Ashton Kutcher. But I’ve known people like that, who could spot bs everywhere except in their own orbit. Whatever the story is, it sounds like Demi and Soleil have each other backs. And there aren’t many people who have that in Hollywood.
