Emma joins Demi Moore and their family to celebrate Bruce Willis’ wife birthday amidst the actor’s struggle with dementia.

Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming rung in her 47th birthday during a lowkey celebration with her blended family this week. 

An entrepreneur, married to the famous Die Hard actor in 2009, took to Instagram to share moments from a special day. She was accompanied by her two children, and also in attendance were Demi Moore and Rumer Willis.

Heming shares Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, with Willis – who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) back in 2023. 

Moore was previously married to Bruce from 1987 until their divorce in 2000. They share three daughters: Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31.

In one image uploaded to Emma’s latest carousel of snaps, she flashed a cheerful smile during a birthday dinner. 

The entrepreneur was joined by her two daughters and the Golden Globe winner on this joyous occasion. Rumer’s daughter Louetta participated in the festivities, although Bruce, Scout, and Tallulah were not present at the gathering.

A short clip included in the post showed Louetta, two – whom Rumer shares with ex Derek Richard Thomas – sweetly wishing Heming happy birthday. 

Lastly, the mom-of-two shared another reel as both she and her daughters enjoyed a bike ride outside. 

In the caption, she penned to her nearly 1 million followers: ‘Over the past few weeks, I’ve been wrapped in so much love for my birthday. 

‘From Bruce, our girl’s, my mom, my family, and dear friends. I feel their love and support holding me up in ways words can’t always capture.’

Emma concluded with, ‘Thank you to everyone who sent birthday wishes. I truly felt your continued kindness and I’m grateful. I had a beautiful day.’ 

Tallulah jumped to the comment section and wrote to Heming, ‘You are so loved.’ 

In 2022, Bruce ‘stepped away’ from acting following his aphasia diagnosis and the following year, it was revealed that he has frontotemporal dementia.

The blended family has come together to support Willis and each other amid his ongoing battle with the illness. 

In March, they celebrated the retired actor’s 70th birthday – and shared memorable pictures onto social media. 

During an interview with Town & Country Magazine last year, Emma opened up about how she receives support from Demi as well as the actress’ three daughters. 

‘The family respects the way I’m looking after him; they really support me. If I need to vent, if I need to cry, if I need to rage – because all of that can happen and it’s okay to have those feelings – they are always there to listen.’

Heming added, ‘I’m so thankful that we are this blended family. They’re very supportive, very loving, and very helpful, and a lot of people don’t have that.’ 

She also expressed at the time that she doesn’t ‘shield’ her daughters from their dad’s diagnosis. 

Heming explained, ‘This disease is misdiagnosed, it’s missed, it’s misunderstood. So finally getting to a diagnosis was key so that I could learn what frontotemporal dementia is and I could educate our children.’

Emma added, ‘I’ve never tried to sugarcoat anything for them. They’ve grown up with Bruce declining over the years. I’m not trying to shield them from it.’

‘What I learned from our therapist was that if children ask questions, they’re ready to know the answer. If we could see that Bruce was struggling, I would address it with the kids so they could understand, but this disease is chronic, progressive and terminal.’

Heming told the outlet that their children don’t tend ‘to speak about the terminal side of this with them, nor have they asked.’

However, she expressed that Mabel and Evelyn ‘know that Daddy’s not going to get better.’

Emma said that she was not going to let ‘FTD to take our whole family down. Bruce wouldn’t want that,’ while adding that she hopes to help the ‘next family out there.’

Over the past weekend, she paid a heartwarming tribute to her husband in celebration of Father’s Day. 

She uploaded a throwback photo of daughter Mabel hugging her dad and wrote, ‘Happy Father’s Day to all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them. 

‘What Bruce teaches our girls goes far beyond words. Resilience, unconditional love, and the quiet strength in simply being present. This photo says so much. Love deepens. It adapts. It stays, even when everything else changes.’

However, she also candidly added that ‘these symbolic days stir up a lot’ and admitted that she was ‘profoundly sad today.’ 

‘I wish, with every cell in my body, that things could be different for him and lighter for our family.’

Emma continued, ‘As they say in our FTD community, “It is what it is.” And while that might sound dismissive, to me, it’s not. It grounds me. It helps me return to the acceptance of what is and not fight this every step of the way like I used to.

‘Today, let’s celebrate the bada** dads, those who are here, and those we carry with us Onward.’

Rumer also shared a post in tribute of her dad Bruce and got candid about how she ‘feels a deep ache.’

She shared photos of the actor from over the years, including a black and white image as she embraced Willis. 

‘Today is hard, I feel a deep ache in my chest to talk to you and tell you everything I’m doing and what’s going on in my life. To hug you and ask you about life and your stories and struggles and successes.’

The actress added, ‘I wish I asked you more questions while you could still tell me about it all.

Emma is also preparing to release a book titled The Unexpected Journey – which will hit shelves later this year on September 9th

‘But I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad today so I’ll try to just be grateful reminding myself how lucky I am that you’re my dad and that you’re still with me and I can still hold you and hug you and kiss your cheek and rub your head I can tell you stories.’ 

Rumer continued, ‘I can watch the way your eyes light up when you see Louetta I will be grateful for every moment I have with you. I love you so much dad happy Father’s Day. 

‘Sending love to all those who are in the boat with me or have lost their fathers, to the single moms who are the dads too, to my future baby daddy…’
