Los Angeles, March 19, 2025 – Hollywood icon Bruce Willis marked his 70th birthday today, surrounded by love from his blended family and fans worldwide, despite his ongoing battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Diagnosed in 2023, the Die Hard star has stepped away from acting, but his legacy continues to shine through the heartfelt messages shared by his wife, Emma Heming Willis, and daughters from both his marriages.
Emma Heming Willis, Willis’ wife since 2009, posted a touching tribute on Instagram, featuring a photo of the actor on a four-wheeler, smiling broadly and giving two thumbs up. “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,” she wrote, urging followers to “flood him with all the love today—he will feel it, I swear he will.” The post, reported by ABC News, Smooth Radio, and The Mirror US, reflects the family’s resilience and optimism amid Willis’ health struggles, which began with an aphasia diagnosis in 2022.
Willis’ daughters from his previous marriage to Demi Moore—Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah—also honored their father with emotional messages. Rumer, 36, shared a video of Willis dancing with Moore, captioning it, “To the King…I love you Daddio. Happy 70th Birthday papa.” Tallulah, 30, posted a black-and-white photo, calling him her “favorite friend” and writing, “You are a light that can never be dimmed!” Scout, 33, echoed the sentiment, celebrating her father’s enduring spirit.
The family’s close bond, including Willis’ daughters with Heming Willis—Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 10—has been a pillar of support, as noted by Express.co.uk. An insider revealed the blended family, including Moore, has rallied around Willis, ensuring he feels loved despite his condition affecting the left side of his brain.
Fans flooded social media with birthday wishes, hailing Willis as a cinematic legend and “hero” from roles in Pulp Fiction and The Sixth Sense. Despite his retirement from acting, Willis’ impact remains indelible, celebrated on this milestone day with love and gratitude.
