Once one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood, Bruce Willis ended his career in 2022 due to aphasia—a speech disorder. A year later, his family revealed that he was diagnosed with an incurable condition—frontotemporal dementia. Willis now speaks very little and struggles to recognize loved ones. His family surrounds him with love and care. The actor has been married to model Emma Heming, who is 23 years younger than him, since 2009. On March 21, the couple will celebrate their 16th wedding anniversary. They have two daughters—12-year-old Mabel and 10-year-old Evelyn.
Yesterday, on his 70th birthday, Emma posted a photo of Bruce in the prime of his life. Bruce was riding an ATV, enjoying an active walk through the picturesque surroundings of their California home. He wore a gray T-shirt, khaki shorts, a baseball cap, gloves, and leather sandals.
“Today is Bruce’s birthday, and if I know anything, it’s that there is no better fan than Bruce’s fan. So, fill him with all your love today—he will feel it, I swear, he will feel it. You are one powerful force. I love how you support him, and I’m so grateful that he has all of you,” Emma wrote.
Bruce also has three adult daughters from his marriage to Demi Moore—36-year-old Rumer, 33-year-old Scout, and 30-year-old Tallulah. The oldest daughter, who followed in her parents’ footsteps, shared a funny home video with Bruce and Demi. They were dressed in casual dark clothes, performing an energetic dance in the kitchen, with Bruce directing the process. “To the king… I love you, papadio! Happy 70th, dad,” Rumer wrote.
Scout shared the funniest photos of her dad, who was never afraid to laugh at himself. She also wrote a heartfelt birthday message. “Happy birthday, the greatest of all time. Every day I thank the Gods that 50% of my DNA is from him. The music I create, the magic I create, and the magnetic anger I provoke—that’s my dad’s legacy living in the world,” said the singer.
She struggles deeply with her father’s diagnosis and the rapid progression of his illness. She is currently away from Bruce, recording new music in Nashville.
“I cried a lot this morning because I’m angry, but grief is not linear, and I am full of love. Grief is the price I pay to feel this depth of love, and I will never give up my grief. I am so deeply aware that the music I make is a direct result of the musical education I got from my father because it was an absolute joy for him to share with me what he loved. Every time I smirk and boldly ask for more, and every time I feel so damn insatiable, I am my father’s child. I am so full of emotions today and just spreading this immense love to everyone,” Scout added.
Tallulah also posted several photos and videos with the birthday boy. One of the images showed her posing with her famous parents at one of their last meetings. “Happy 70th to my beloved guy. I love my family,” the young woman wrote.
