When Soleil Moon Frye welcomed her fourth child into the world, she couldn’t picture doing it without her closest confidant, Demi Moore, by her side. In a candid chat with Us Weekly, Soleil opened up about the unforgettable moment when Demi almost became an impromptu midwife during the birth of her youngest son, Story, now 2 years old. At the time, Soleil's obstetrician was running behind schedule, leaving Demi to step in and take charge.
“Demi was like a doctor on a mission. She took control of the room, saying, ‘Alright, I’m here. Everyone step back,’” Soleil recalled with a laugh. “She even got on the phone with the doctor, ready to step in if necessary. She was all set to deliver the baby herself if the doctor didn’t arrive in time. Thankfully, the doctor walked in just in the nick of time, and within five minutes, Story came flying out. He literally shot out like a little rocket!”

Demi Moore: A Seasoned Presence in the Delivery Room
Demi Moore, the mother of three daughters—Rumer, 29, Scout, 27, and Tallulah, 24—with her ex-husband Bruce Willis, is no stranger to the delivery room. Soleil told the magazine that she feels most comfortable having Demi by her side during labor. "She’s been in all my birth rooms," Soleil shared, adding that her babies "were all almost 10 pounds." After welcoming Story, Soleil shed 26 pounds but emphasized that new moms should never feel pressured to lose weight quickly.
“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: We shouldn’t feel forced to rush into getting back in shape. And I didn’t," Soleil told E! News. "I spent those precious early days bonding with Story before even thinking about my body. Every woman’s journey is different, and the key is finding what works for you. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to motherhood or postpartum recovery.”

Self-Care: A Message to All Moms
Soleil’s experience highlights the importance of self-care during motherhood. She believes that while putting everything into raising and supporting her children, it’s equally vital to prioritize personal well-being. "We pour our hearts and souls into loving and nurturing our kids, but we mustn’t forget about ourselves," she said. "I hope I can inspire other mothers to carve out time for themselves and take meaningful steps toward living happier, healthier lives. It’s not selfish—it’s essential!"
We couldn’t agree more. Taking care of yourself isn’t just beneficial; it’s a necessity for thriving as a parent and individual.
