Bruce Willis recently celebrated his 68th birthday, surrounded by his family who all came together for the special occasion. Emma Heming Willis, Bruce’s wife of nearly 14 years, threw a celebration for her husband, which was attended by their two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, and Bruce’s first wife, Demi Moore, along with their three adult children: Tallulah, Scout and Rumer. The celebration was an emotional day for Emma, as Bruce has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
The family has been rallying around Bruce since they announced in March 2022 that he would be retiring from acting due to aphasia, a condition in which a person loses the ability to communicate. They revealed in February that his condition had worsened over the last year, but appreciated having a clear diagnosis of FTD, which is the most common form of dementia.
As the family continues to support Bruce, they are also shedding light on FTD and the impact it has had on their lives. Bruce’s daughters have been open about their struggles with anxiety and other health issues, which they have faced while navigating the public scrutiny that comes with being the children of two mega-stars.
Rumer Willis, the eldest of the five Willis girls, is a singer and actress who has made her own mark in the entertainment industry. She recently announced that she is expecting her first child with singer Derek Richard Thomas, which will make Bruce and Demi first-time grandparents.
Scout LaRue Willis, the second daughter of Bruce and Demi, is pursuing a successful career as a singer/songwriter with the release of her self-titled debut album in 2022. She is also an advocate for women’s rights and has used her platform to protest against Instagram’s censorship of female nudity.
Tallulah Belle Willis, the youngest of Bruce and Demi’s three girls, struggled with body dysmorphic disorder and addiction but has made strides in her personal and professional life. She interned at Harper’s Bazaar at age 15 and pursued fashion, releasing the vintage-inspired Wyllis collection in 2020.
Bruce and Emma’s daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, have not yet entered the entertainment industry, as Mabel is only 10 years old and Evelyn is even younger. However, they continue to support their dad amid his health struggles, and Emma has shared photos of them enjoying quality family time together.
Despite the challenges that come with fame and health issues, the Willis family continues to support each other and show their love and appreciation for Bruce, the “gentle girl dad” they all adore. Their strength and resilience serve as an inspiration to others who are facing similar struggles.
