This sweet family video is the perfect way to commemorate Bruce Willis on his 68th birthday
Bruce Willis is an icon in the movie industry—but he’s also a loving husband, dad, and friend. And nothing shows that more clearly than the moving video his ex-wife, Demi Moore, posted on his 68th birthday on Sunday. It shows Willis, loving being the center of attention, while his huge, blended family gathers around him and serenades him with “Happy Birthday.”
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. pic.twitter.com/vcb50QP9hr
Moore shared the video on both Instagram and Twitter, and we guarantee it’s the sweetest thing you’re going to see today. Moore and Willis were married from 1987 to 2000. They share three daughters together, and Willis has since welcomed two more girls with his now-wife, Emma Heming. Throughout their journey, Willis and Moore have been co-parenting goals. They remain close friends, and often celebrate milestones (like Willis’s big birthday) with the entire, giant blended family.
What makes this moment even more touching is the news that Willis was recently diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. The family made that announcement last month, about a year after Willis retired from acting due to symptoms of aphasia, including difficulty speaking, writing, and communicating.
While the sweet moment at Willis’s birthday party shows that there’s still plenty of joy in the family despite his difficult diagnosis, Heming shared on Instagram that she started her husband’s birthday in tears.
“I always get this message, or people always tell me, that ‘Oh, you’re so strong, I don’t know how you do it,'” she said in a message posted to social media. “I’m not given a choice. I wish I was.”
Heming continued, “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 every day, and I’m really feeling it today on his birthday.”
We wish nothing but the best for Willis and his family and hope there are many more joyful celebrations in their future.
