Demi Moore is wishing Bruce Willis a happy birthday!
Moore, 62, celebrated Willis’ 70th on Wednesday, March 19, with her ex and their daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah. Afterward, she posted a series of sweet family photos via Instagram.
“Happy birthday, BW! We love you,” Moore captioned the post, which included snaps of the exes hugging, Willis holding Rumer’s toddler daughter Lou (who turns 2 next month), and the actor sharing quiet moments with Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31.
Moore’s post kicked off a wave of well wishes in the comments sections.
“May i just say how genuinely admirable is the bond you built after your marriage ended? says it all about how nice and down to earth people you are, and that family will always come first, no matter what,” one of her followers wrote, while another remarked, “These photos make me so happy and so sad at the same time. We love you BW!”
Moore and Willis were married from 1987 to 2000, and remained good friends after their divorce. Willis even attended Moore’s marriage to Ashton Kutcher in 2005. (The pair divorced in 2013.) The Die Hard star went on to wed Emma Heming in 2009. The twosome share two daughters, Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10.
In March 2022, Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and communication disorder aphasia. which impacted his cognitive abilities. He retired from acting as a result.
“We will always be a family, just in a different form,” Moore told Variety earlier this year. “For me, there was never a question. I show up because that’s what you do for the people you love.”
Moore reportedly visits Willis weekly in order to support him and their blended family.
“I hope it’s encouraging for others to see that there’s a different way to do things. There is life after divorce. There is a way to co-parent with love,” she said at the time.
In February, Rumer, 36, shared her gratitude over the way her mom and dad have navigated coparenting. (The actress shares Lou with her ex, Derek Richard Thomas.)
“I think the thing I’m most grateful for is that even when they split up, they created such a beautiful foundation of prioritizing my sisters and I, that I never felt like I had to choose or, like, they never played against each other,” she said. “We were a family, and we still are very much a family no matter what. And not only did I feel like that has set me up in my life to have such a beautiful foundation of my own family, but now, as I’m working through coparenting as well, I feel deep gratitude for the example they’ve set.”
