It’s always a treat to see famous families stick together, and the Willis clan shows us how it’s done. Actor Bruce Willis, known for his iconic roles, is surrounded by an amazing group of loved ones. His five daughters and two wives, past and present, form a truly supportive blended family.
The family’s bond became even clearer after Bruce received a diagnosis of aphasia in March 2022. This health news brought them all closer. A source close to the family shared insights with the entertainment news outlet Us Weekly in December 2023. They mentioned that Bruce has his good and bad days, with more challenging ones recently. "This experience has brought the whole family even closer," the source explained. "No one knows how much time Bruce has left, so they are soaking up every moment they have with him." Another insider told Us Weekly that his family is "there all the time." They added, "Once Bruce was diagnosed, everyone rallied to keep his family memory intact and to constantly be there reminding him that he’s loved. Everything revolves around him." It’s clear their commitment to him is unwavering.
Demi Moore
Bruce and actress Demi Moore tied the knot in 1987. They welcomed three daughters: Rumer in 1988, Scout in 1991, and Tallulah in 1994. The couple announced their separation in June 1988 and finalized their divorce two years later. Even after parting ways, Moore and Willis stayed good friends and excellent co-parents. Rumer once told Larry King in a March 2015 interview that she was "so grateful that my parents made such an effort at that time." She explained, "They always made an effort to still do all of our family events together, and to keep our family as one unit, instead of two separate things, which I think really had a huge impact."
Rumer Willis
Bruce and Moore’s oldest daughter, Rumer, arrived in 1988. She started acting alongside her mom in 1995’s Now and Then. Rumer built a strong acting resume, appearing in films like Striptease (1996), Hostage (2005), House Bunny (2008), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019).

Rumer started dating Derek Richard Thomas in 2020. They welcomed their daughter, Louetta, in April 2023, but announced their separation in August 2024. She shared with her Instagram followers that she was now "being a single mom and coparenting." On Father’s Day in 2025, Rumer shared a touching post about her dad, reflecting on his health struggles. "Today is hard, I feel a deep ache in my chest to want to talk to you and tell you what I’m doing and what’s happening in my life," she wrote on Instagram. "To hug you and ask you about life, your stories, your struggles and your triumphs. I wish I had asked you more questions while you could still tell me everything."
She continued, "But I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad today so I will try to just be grateful, reminding myself how lucky I am that you are my dad and that you are still here, that I can still hug you and kiss your cheek and rub your head. I can tell you stories." Rumer also mentioned that her dad’s "eyes light up" when he sees Louetta, and she’s "grateful for every moment" they share. She ended her message, "I love you so much papa. Happy Father’s Day. Sending love to all those who are in the same boat as me or have lost their parents, single mom’s who are also dads, my future baby daddy… ❤️."

"Anniversaries used to bring excitement, now if I’m honest, they stir up all the feelings, leaving me with a heavy heart and a knot in my stomach." She bravely added, "I give myself 30 minutes to sit in the ‘why him, why us?’ to feel the rage and pain. Then I shake it off and get back to what is. And what is… is unconditional love.
