Demi Moore is paying tribute to ex-husband Bruce Willis on Father’s Day.

“Generations of love 💛,” Moore, 63, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 21. “Today we celebrate our incredible BW. Sending love to all the fathers, today and always.”

Alongside the message, Moore shared several throwback photos featuring Willis, 71, with the pair’s three children: Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 32.

In another pic, Willis smiled while laying beside his and wife Emma Heming Willis’ two children, daughters Mabel, 14, and Evelyn, 12, as they had a spa day.

Heming Willis, 50, honored her husband with a series of sweet photos of him in bed kissing one of his children.

“Happy Father’s Day to all the dads who make their children feel safe, loved, and completely at ease in their presence and in their arms,” Heming Willis wrote via Instagram. “Just like our Bruce 💙.”

Moore and Willis were married from 1987 until they announced their separation in 1998, filing for divorce in 2000. The Die Hard actor went on to tie the knot with Heming Willis in 2009. Years later, Willis’ family revealed that he had been diagnosed with the language disorder aphasia. It was later shared that he received a diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia.

In a recent podcast appearance, Heming Willis opened up about her husband’s diagnosis.

“It’s called frontotemporal dementia. Or FTD for short. It affects the frontal lobe and the temporal lobes. This is [an] executive decision, just your every day sort of functioning, language [and] compression. That’s in your temporal lobe. The variant, because there’s three different types of variants of FTD, the one that Bruce has affects language,” Heming explained on the Monday, June 15 episode of the “Bossticks” podcast. “But there’s another variant that will affect behavior and another one that could affect movement. So here’s three different variants to FTD.”

Heming Willis noted that Willis’ diagnosis “doesn’t” affect his memory.

“That’s a different part of the brain,” she continued. “So when people say, ‘Oh, does he remember who you are?’ Well, he does because he doesn’t have Alzheimer’s, he has FTD. I think that’s a very common misconception that, when you think of dementia, we think of memory loss.”

Moore, for her part, has also been by Willis’ side as he navigates his diagnosis.

“It’s so important just to meet them where they’re at. Don’t have a particular expectation of them needing to be who they were or who you want them to be,” Moore recalled during a podcast appearance in 2025. “When you do that, I find that there is an incredible sweetness and something that’s soft and tender and loving. Perhaps it is more playful and child-like in a certain sense because of how much more caretaking they need.”
