Demi Moore (63) Celebrates Bruce Willis’s 71st Birthday with Rare Throwback Photo, Fans Are Loving the Nostalgia
Demi Moore shared a rare and heartwarming photo of her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, to celebrate his 71st birthday. On Thursday, the actress posted two new pictures on Instagram showing the Die Hard star with their two-year-old granddaughter, Louetta.
One photo shows Louetta, the daughter of their eldest child Rumer Willis, hugging her grandfather, while another captures her giving him a kiss on the cheek. In the caption, Demi wrote, “All you need is LOVE. Happy birthday, BW!”
Moore and Willis were married from 1987 until their divorce in 2000 and share three daughters together. Despite their split, they have remained close. Bruce, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023, continues to receive support from Demi, who has visited him regularly since his diagnosis, according to sources.
Demi also highlighted the work of Bruce’s second wife, Emma Heming Willis. She shared a photo on Instagram Stories of Emma accepting the Susan Newhouse & Si Newhouse Award of Hope at The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration’s Hope Rising Benefit in New York earlier this month.
“Deeply moved and incredibly proud of @emmahemingwillis for receiving the Susan Newhouse & Si Newhouse Award of Hope, and on announcing the launch of The Emma & Bruce Willis Fund for Dementia Research and Caregiver Support. Your unwavering support and advocacy is inspiring to so many. Love you so much!” Demi wrote.
Emma posted a throwback photo of Bruce sitting by the water on vacation to her own Instagram. She used the post to raise awareness for her non-profit, which helps FTD patients and their caregivers.
“Today we celebrate Bruce’s birthday. This journey with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has opened my eyes to the realities so many families face. It’s what inspired me to create The Emma & Bruce Willis Fund to raise awareness of FTD, support research, and stand beside the caregivers who carry so much every day. If you’d like to honor Bruce today, please consider supporting the fund or another organization working in this space, or simply checking in on a caregiver – a small act of kindness that can mean so much,” Emma wrote.
Emma and Bruce married in 2009 and share daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. Both Demi and Emma’s posts show the family’s ongoing support for Bruce and their commitment to raising awareness for dementia care.
It’s touching to see Demi and Emma both celebrate Bruce’s birthday while supporting him and others facing FTD. It shows that even with complex family relationships, love and care remain at the center. What do you think about their posts and advocacy work? Share your thoughts in the comments.
