Demi Moore has once again shown her unwavering support for Bruce Willis, sharing a heartfelt Father’s Day tribute on Instagram. The post, which featured a series of nostalgic photos, celebrated Bruce’s role as a devoted father amid his ongoing battle with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
On Sunday, June 16, Demi, 61, posted a touching carousel of images showcasing Bruce, 69, with their daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. The photos spanned various stages of their lives, capturing tender moments between Bruce and his children. “Happy Father’s Day to our favorite girl dad. We love you, BW!” Demi captioned the post.
The first image in the series showed a young Bruce holding one of his daughters, both of them beaming with joy. Another photo depicted a more recent moment, with Bruce standing alongside Rumer, 35, as they pointed towards the sky. The bond between father and daughter was palpable, with Rumer resting her head on Bruce’s shoulder.
Other snapshots included Bruce cuddling with his daughters, playing around with Tallulah, and sharing a heartwarming moment with Scout, 32. The images highlighted Bruce’s enduring role as a loving father, despite the challenges posed by his health condition.
Bruce’s current wife, Emma Heming Willis, also shared the post on her Instagram Stories, adding her own heartfelt message. “Happy Father’s Day to this very special man. I actually couldn’t even imagine him with a son. He is the best dad to all our girls,” she wrote.
Bruce and Demi, who were married for 13 years before their divorce in 2000, have maintained a close friendship over the years. Their blended family, which includes Bruce’s daughters with Emma, Mabel Ray, 12, and Evelyn Penn, 10, often comes together for special occasions and milestones.
Earlier this week, the family celebrated Mabel’s graduation from middle school. Emma shared a photo of the recent graduate surrounded by her extended family, including Demi, Tallulah, and Scout, all holding up masks of Mabel’s face in a playful gesture.
In May, Rumer opened up about her father’s special bond with her 1-year-old daughter, Louetta. “He’s doing really good,” Rumer said of Bruce’s health. “I got to go over there with Louetta today.” She added that Louetta has become a beloved figure within the family, often being the center of attention during visits.
Rumer also shared a touching tribute to Bruce on his birthday in March, expressing her deep love and admiration for her father. “Oh Daddio, to be loved by you is such a gift,” she wrote. “You are the greatest papa I could ever hope for. Thank you for your generosity, your silliness, and heart. Lou loves you so big.”
Bruce’s family has been open about his health struggles, providing updates and sharing their journey with fans. In February 2023, Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a degenerative condition that affects memory and communication. This diagnosis came a year after he retired from acting due to aphasia.
Despite the challenges, Bruce’s family continues to rally around him, offering love and support. Rumer emphasized the importance of being open about Bruce’s condition, hoping to raise awareness and support for others facing similar struggles. “If it can have any impact on another family that is struggling in any way with something like this, or bring more attention to the disease in hopes of finding a cure or anything that can be of service to anybody else, I think it’s really important,” she explained.
As Bruce navigates his health journey, the love and support from his family remain unwavering. Demi’s Father’s Day tribute is a testament to the enduring bond they share and the cherished memories they continue to create together.
