Over the weekend, Bruce Willis celebrated his 68th birthday surrounded by family.
Since 2022, when he was initially diagnosed with aphasia, the Die Hard star has been living with frontotemporal dementia till it was discovered this month.
Yet Bruce celebrated the occasion with close ones, including his ex-wife Demi Moore, in great spirits.
Demi, 60, posted an Instagram video of Bruce on Sunday, in which the A-lister could be seen throwing his hands in the air as his children and wife Emma Heming Willis sang him happy birthday.
The Ghost actress captioned her post: ‘Happy birthday, BW! So glad we could celebrate you today. Love you and love our family. Thank you to everyone for the love and warm wishes — we all feel them.’
Doting mum Emma, 44, commemorated Bruce’s birthday with a poignant montage hours before Demi’s tweet.
Bruce’s 14-year-old wife also reached up to followers about life following her husband’s awful illness.
She refrained from sobbing as she described her grief at spending her husband’s birthday ‘crying’ before posting an emotional montage of happier times.
Emma revealed how she experiences loss on a regular basis before confessing that she must put on her “big girl pants” to cope.
Bruce and Emma have two daughters together: Mabel, age 10, and Evelyn, age 8.
‘So today is my husband’s birthday,’ Emma began in the video message to Bruce’s fans, before tearing up in a heart-wrenching moment towards the end.
‘I have started the morning by crying. As you can see by my swollen eyes and snotty nose, I just think it’s important you see all sides of this.
‘I always get this message or people always tell me like, “Oh you’re so strong, I don’t know how you do it.” I’m not given a choice. I wish I was. But I’m also raising two kids in this.
‘So sometimes in our lives we have to put our big girl panties on and get to it. And that’s what I’m doing. But I do have times of sadness every day. Grief everyday. And I’m really feeling it today on his birthday.
‘So I worked on this reel that I’m posting for my husband’s birthday. I don’t know why I do that to myself because the videos are like a knife in my heart.
‘But as much as I do it for myself I do it for you. Because I know how much you love my husband and – don’t cry Emma – but it means so much to me so thank you.’
Bruce appeared to be living life to the fullest in the most gorgeous family photomontage that Emma had ever shown.
Backtracked with Stevie Wonder’s As, the minute-long montage depicted their years together as their two children grew up, and it was extremely heartbreaking.
Alongside the touching videos, Emma wrote: ‘He is pure love. He is so loved. And I’ll be loving him always. Happy Birthday my sweet.
‘My birthday wish for Bruce is that you continue to keep him in your prayers and highest vibrations because his sensitive Pisces soul will feel it. Thank you so much for loving and caring for him too.’
