Demi Moore has shared two touching new photos of Bruce Willis as the star celebrated his 69th birthday.

Willis, who was married to Moore from 1987-1998, was diagnosed with aphasia in March 2022 which later turned into frontotemporal dementia.

The condition is said to cause personality changes, obsessive behaviour, and speaking difficulties.

Since then, his family – including Moore – has rallied around the action star.

For the Willis’ birthday, Moore – who shares adult daughters Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout with Willis – made a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a recent photo of the two of them.

In the photo, Willis can be seen sitting in his living room in a grey sofa with his ex-wife on the arm of the chair, reports The Sun.

He has his arm wrapped around Moore, gripping her upper arm, as they chat.

In return, she has her hand over his while touching his arm with her other hand.

The actress captioned the post: “Happy birthday, BW! We love you and are so grateful for you,” adding a white heart emoji.

She also included a photo of Willis with his grandchild Louetta, Rumer’s first child, and a throwback photo of him with his daughters.

Alongside Moore’s shots, Rumer also shared a selection of throwback photos of her dad.

“Oh Daddio, to be loved by you is such a gift. You are the funniest, most tender, charming, out of this world silly talented and magical papa. Looking through these photos this morning I am just filled with the deepest gratitude that we chose to spend this life together.

“I am your first baby and man sometimes I wish I could be tiny enough to just cozy up on your chest again and laugh and cuddle you. I love you so deep in my bones I don’t know how my muscles hold them. You are the greatest papa I could ever hope for. Thank you for your generosity, your silliness and heart. Lou loves you so big. Happy Birthday Daddio,” she captioned the heartwarming post.

Rumer included photos of herself as Willis’ first baby, alongside photos of him and his family throughout the years.

Her younger sister, Scout, shared a similarly nostalgic post, with her caption reading, in part, “Wild how so little has changed even though so much has changed.

“My dad is one of my best friends, perhaps now on a deeper level than ever honestly. I cherish his affection and the immense freedom with which he’s always loved us.”

Moore was asked in January during an appearance on Good Morning America how Willis was doing.

“I think, given the circumstances, he’s doing very well,” she said.

“What I’ll share is what I say to my children, which it’s important to just meet them where they’re at and not hold on to what isn’t, but what is.”
