Demi Moore will always have a supportive friend in her ex-husband Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming Willis.

Not only are the St. Elmo's Fire actress and the Die Hard actor, who split in 2000, known for their tight-knit friendship as exes, but that bond extends to his wife Emma, who he married in 2009.

In their 13 years of marriage, the former couple welcomed three daughters, Rumer, 35, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, plus he is also a dad to daughters Mabel Ray, 12, and Evelyn Penn, ten.

On Monday morning, Demi received her fourth Golden Globe nomination, for her role in the science fiction, satirical body horror film The Substance, which was written and directed by Coralie Fargeat, and in which she starred alongside Margaret Qualley.

In honor of the milestone, Emma took to her Instagram Stories and re-posted a tribute to Demi that her daughter Tallulah made, and wrote: "Exciting news to wake up to!!"

In her tribute, Tallulah exclaimed: "Yes baby!!!" and added of her mom: "She works so hard, and is probably so sleepy right now after the last year let alone last week of showing up and being an icon."
