Demi Moore and Bruce Willis may have parted ways long ago, but they’ve kept a strong bond over the years. They’ve shown how ex-partners can maintain respect and create a supportive blended family. Despite moving on with new relationships and children, they’ve stayed connected.
This Father’s Day was especially meaningful for Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with dementia earlier this year. His family used the occasion to honor him and celebrate the fathers in their lives.
Bruce’s eldest daughter, Rumer Willis, shared photos of him holding her daughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis. She called the post “Fathers to the old and new” and expressed her joy in seeing Bruce as a grandfather. “His love for her is so pure and beautiful,” Rumer wrote. She also thanked her partner, Derek Richard Thomas, who was celebrating his first Father’s Day.
Scout LaRue Willis, Bruce and Demi’s second daughter, reflected on the challenges her family has faced over the past year. She said these experiences taught her patience and compassion. She wrote, “I feel so lucky to know the tenderness my dad shares and the admiration he has for his family.”
Demi Moore joined the celebration by sharing a throwback photo of Bruce with their three daughters. She captioned it, “Forever grateful to you BW for giving me these 3 beautiful girls. We love our #girldad. Happy Father’s Day!” Fans praised Demi for showing love and respect toward Bruce, even after their divorce.
Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, also posted touching photos of him with their daughter, Mabel. She paid tribute to his role as a father, writing, “It might not be ‘conventional,’ but what he’s teaching our kids will last for generations—unconditional love, kindness, and resilience.”
Emma has taken an active role in caring for Bruce. She’s also raising awareness about aphasia and supporting caregivers. Emma shared, “My grief can be paralyzing, but I’m learning to live with it.” Her efforts honor caregivers everywhere as unsung heroes.
