Demi Moore's 'touching' message to ex Bruce Willis in rare family pictures
Demi Moore shared a touching message to Bruce Willis as he celebrated his birthday. Fans have been left stunned at how close the former couple still are after all these years
When it comes to love stories that defy the odds, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis continue to stun people, as the Hollywood stars maintain a strong bond despite their divorce over two decades ago.
Married from 1987 to 2000, the pair share daughters Rumer Glenn Willis, Scout LaRue Willis and Tallulah Belle Willis, and have remained close friends, with Moore also forming a tight-knit relationship with Willis's wife, Emma Heming Willis.
As Bruce Willis faces health challenges due to his dementia diagnosis, Moore has been an integral part of the support network, caring for him alongside his family. In a touching Instagram tribute, Moore expressed her enduring affection for her ex-husband, posting "we love you" for all her followers to see.
Celebrating his birthday, the family gathered for a photo session, capturing smiles that resonated with fans across the globe.
The heartfelt post quickly went viral, amassing over 200,000 likes and prompting thousands to send their best wishes, admiring the family's unity.
Fans were visibly moved by the display of solidarity, with one commenting: "Love this! Told your girls today as a family with a similar dynamic it makes me smile and gives me hope to see what you guys have created.
"Your girls are a testament to the parents you and BW, and of course Emma, truly are. Thanks for trusting us and sharing with the world friend."
Another echoed the sentiment, saying: "These photos make me so happy and so sad at the same time. We love you BW!"
A third replied: "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."
Meanwhile, someone else also commented: "You are beautiful inside and out, Demi. So rare in Hollywood."
Willis, who turned 70, announced his retirement from acting in 2022 as his family opened up about his struggle with aphasia - a communication impairment often associated with dementia and other conditions.
Approximately a year afterward, his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia was confirmed, which is a disease affecting the brain's frontal and temporal lobes.
Celebrating Willis's birthday, his wife Emma shared her thoughts too, writing: "It's Bruce's birthday, and if there's one thing I know, it's that there's no greater fan than a Bruce fan.
"So flood him with all the love today - he will feel it, I swear he will. You are one powerful bunch. I love how you rally for him, and I'm so grateful that he has you."
