'Love you both': Internet celebrates as Demi Moore wishes ex-husband Bruce Willis happy 69th birthday

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It's that time of the year when Bruce Willis celebrates his birthday and the entire Willis family and Demi Moore come together to celebrate the 'Die Hard' star's special day.

Willis is celebrating his 69th birthday on Tuesday, March 19, following his retirement from Hollywood in 2022.

In 2022, the 'Pulp Fiction' star drew a line to his Hollywood career after getting diagnosed with aphasia which later progressed to frontotemporal dementia, per Fox News.

To mark his birthday, Willis' ex-wife Demi Moore took to her Instagram to extend wishes to the 'Armageddon' star, writing, "Happy birthday, BW! We love you and are so grateful for you ♥️."

In addition to her heartfelt birthday message, Moore also posted three pictures of Willis on her Instagram: one with herself, one with Willis' granddaughter, and the third featuring Willis with his three daughters with Moore - Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout Willis - when they were young.

Willis was married to the 'Flawless' actress for over thirteen years, having tied the knot in 1987. The couple divorced in 2000.

Not just Demi Moore, but all the women from the Willis family stepped up to wish the 'Red' actor on his special day. Emma Heming Willis, his wife since 2009, also shared a lengthy birthday message on her Instagram.

Calling her beloved the "gift that keeps giving," Emma wrote, "Just like you, we simply adore him. What you might not know, but maybe you could imagine, is that being wrapped in his arms is the safest place in this whole wide world."

She continued to gush, "He’s a true gentle man. With so much love to give and share. That’s what I get to see, his true core," before adding, "I can tell you, it’s so pure and ever so good."

Wishing "Happy Birthday my love," Emma concluded, "You are the gift that keeps giving 💞."

Along with her post, she also shared a carousel of images and continued to explain the events behind the third slide.

She continued to praise her "papa," writing, "A tender, moody, beautiful, very Piscean man, whose depth of love for his family can only be felt, not articulated. Any words I use would be woefully inadequate. So instead I want to say thank you for loving my papa, thank you for sharing your stories of what he means to you, it’s such a gift to feel your love. Happy happy birthday to the GOAT."

Rumer also showered her father with affection through multiple throwback photos, expressing, "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," wrote Willis' eldest daughter.

She continued, "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 your heart."

She even added, "Lou loves you so big," referring to her daughter, before concluding with, "Happy Birthday Daddio."
