Bruce Willis recently turned 70, and Demi Moore celebrated his birthday with a heartfelt Instagram tribute. In a rare post, Willis’ ex-wife and lifelong friend Moore took to the social media platform to share intimate moments from the celebration. Simply writing, “Happy birthday, BW! We love you” under the post, she let the photos express her emotions. The post was thus proof of Willis and Moore’s bond — one that surpasses traditional boundaries.
Demi Moore wishes Bruce Willis on his birthday with rare photos
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore had a rough patch in the past, but they do not miss showing up for each other — especially if birthdays are involved. Moore’s recent post on Instagram, sharing rare glimpses from Willis’ 70th birthday, upholds the importance of familial love and support. Though Willis and Moore are not traditionally a family, their blended dynamic is unique.
Reflecting upon the duo’s dynamic in an exclusive interview with Variety, Moore stated, “We will always be a family, just in a different form.” Moreover, Moore and Willis’ current wife, Emma Heming Willis, have fostered an intentional bond of their own. While Moore’s post painted a picture of their shared love for Willis, Emma took to Instagram to post a throwback photo on her story. As PEOPLE noted, the story featured young Moore and Willis, with the caption, “I liked them together as well.”
The Oscar nominee’s post shows the “Die Hard” alum surrounded by his family. One photo featured Emma and Moore with the latter’s daughters with Willis — Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah — cozying up around the “birthday boy.” Another sweet snapshot captured Willis cradling his granddaughter, and Rumer’s daughter, Louetta. Furthermore, a slide flaunted Willis’ family all out with custom-made cookies featuring him. The cookies were an abstract, colorful portrait of the “Pulp Fiction” star wearing sunglasses.
In the public eye, Willis is a legendary figure in Hollywood. Yet, if Moore’s Instagram was any proof, for his family, he is a devoted father, grandfather, husband, and friend. The post also reflected a lifetime of memories and love that the ex-couple continue to share despite their history. Thus, Bruce Willis’ 70th birthday was a milestone that celebrated his legacy through family, customized cookies, and Demi Moore’s documentation of affectionate moments.
