Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming Willis celebrated her eldest daughter’s birthday with a trip down memory lane.
Mabel Willis turned 11 on Sunday, and her proud mom marked the occasion by sharing a montage of family photos and videos taken over the years set to The Cure’s song “Pictures of You.”
“Happy 11th Birthday Mabel Rae!” Heming Willis wrote in the caption.
“Your energy is contagious,” she said, praising her little girl for the way she can “light up an entire room with your smile and warmth.”
Heming Willis said, “It’s beautiful to see how much you love and care for your family and friends. Keep shining my love and always remember to #liveitup.”
Heming Willis and Willis married in 2009. Along with Mabel, the couple also have an 8-year-old daughter, Evelyn. Willis also has daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah with his ex-wife Demi Moore.
Willis is clearly a kind father. One photo in the montage of Hemings Willis shows the “Die Hard” star holding baby Mabel and kissing her on the forehead, while a recent image shows a smiling Willis walking in nature with her son.
Heming Willis wrote an equally heartfelt tribute last month when her husband celebrated his 68th birthday. Sharing a video montage on Instagram, she called the actor “pure love”.
In February, Willis’s family announced that his speech disorder, aphasia, had turned into a form of dementia called frontotemporal dementia, or FTD.
“While there is no cure for this disease today, we hope this reality may change in the coming years,” he said in an update shared online. “As Bruce’s situation progresses, we hope that media attention can focus on shining a light on this disease that requires far more awareness and research.”
According to the Alzheimer’s Association, FTD “refers to a group of disorders caused by progressive nerve cell loss in the brain’s frontal lobes (the area behind your forehead) or its temporal lobes.” These areas of the brain are generally associated with personality, behavior, and language.
