Bruce Willis doted on his daughter Mabel Ray in a sweet throwback video shared by his wife Emma Heming Willis amid his battle with dementia.

The video was taken when Mabel was still a baby and shared in honor of her 13th birthday.

It began with a heartwarming clip of the action star, 70, playing with his little girl and kissing her finger.  

Both dad and his baby girl looked as happy as can be enjoying a sweet moment together.

‘In the blink of an eye, she’s thirteen -our bright, beautiful Mabel Ray,’ Emma, 46, captioned the video. ‘I’m grateful for the joy and color she brings to our world. She moves through life with kindness and heart, and we love her more than words can hold. Happy Birthday to our sweet girl!’

It then showed a slew of other photos and videos of Mabel nowadays, from her in the snow, in Paris, and on stage.

Her elder half-sisters, Scout and Tallulah Willis, sent their birthday wishes to Mable in the comments.

‘I love our sweet mabes!!! Happy happy birthday to the best teenager in the world,’ Tallulah posted.

‘Happy happy happy birthday to our mischievous, angelic, gorgeous, tender hilarious creative beyond measure Mabel Ray!’ Scout gushed.

Emma also shared the video to her Instagram Stories, where she noted of the milestone birthday, ‘We have a teenager in the house!’ 

In addition to Mabel, Emma and Bruce also share daughter Evelyn, 10, together. 

The action star wed Emma in Turks and Caicos on March 21, 2009, and the couple recently celebrated 16 years of marriage.  

‘Today marks 16 years with the love of a lifetime. We’ve shared monumental highs and devastating lows, and through it all, we’ve built something timeless,’ Emma posted as she marked the milestone.

‘I’m so deeply grateful for every chapter I’ve had with him – and all the ones we’ll continue to write, in our language of unconditional love,’ she added.

Bruce was previously married to actress Demi Moore, whom he shares daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31, with. 

The anniversary came just days after Bruce celebrated his 70th birthday.

Emma, Demi, and his daughters all gave him shout-outs on their Instagram as they marked his special day.

‘It’s Bruce’s birthday, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that there’s no greater fan than a Bruce fan,’ Emma wrote, posting a photo of him on an ATV. ‘So flood him with all the love today, he will feel it, I swear he will. You are one powerful bunch. I love how you rally for him, and I’m so grateful that he has you.’ 

Willis’ family announced his retirement from acting in March 2022 after he was diagnosed with aphasia, a disorder that affects language comprehension and expression.

Less than a year later in February 2023, he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, which involves the degeneration of the brain’s frontal and temporal lobes.

Last month in February, Rumer gave rare insight into how her father was doing during an interview with ITV and expressed that the family has ‘rallied around each other.’

She shared, ‘He’s doing great. I think, obviously as many people in California, the thing we’re all kind of the most scared, dealing with is just fires and wanting to make sure everything is okay.

‘Because my family, we’re all so close, I think what’s so beautiful is the way that we rally around each other, [it’s] so lovely, because we really are a unit.’

Rumer then applauded Bruce and Demi’s relationship even after they divorced after 13 years of marriage.

‘I think the thing I’m most grateful for is that even when they split up, they created such a beautiful foundation of prioritizing my sisters and I, that I never felt like I had to choose or like, they never played against each other.’

She further expressed that, ‘We were a family, and we still are very much a family no matter what…

‘And not only did I feel like that has set me up in my life to have such a beautiful foundation of my own family, but now, as I’m working through co-parenting as well, I feel deep gratitude for the example they’ve set.’
