A family affair! Demi Moore and ex-husband Bruce Willis posed for a sweet holiday snap with their youngest daughter Tallulah Willis — and her adoring chihuahua, Pilaf.
“The laser beam communication between Pilaf and Papa is stunning ,” Tallulah, 28, captioned the Wednesday, December 7, photo, which included all three of the family members smiling with the tiny pup in front of a festive Christmas wreath. “I love my parents and my family – I do I do I do! .”
The Die Hard star and the Ghost actress, both 60, were married for 13 years before calling it quits in 2000. In addition to Tallulah, the pair share daughters Rumer Willis, 34, and Scout Willis, 31. Bruce went on to wed Emma Heming in 2009, and the couple welcomed daughters Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn in 2012 and 2014, respectively.
Tallulah wasn’t the only member of the Willis clan to share sweet snaps from the fun family get-together on Wednesday. Middle child Scout also took to social media to document the event, posting photos that included the Pulp Fiction star holding Pilaf in his arms and the group sitting around a table.
“Family dinner night,” she wrote via her Instagram Story.
The blended brood has bonded more than ever over the past year after the Emmy winner retired from acting amiid his aphasia diagnosis — a language disorder that effects communication skills.
“To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities,” they wrote in a March 2022 statement signed by Emma, Moore and Bruce’s five daughters. “As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”
The group added that while “this is a really challenging time for our family,” they were grateful to have the “continued love, compassion and support” of the Moonlighting star’s fans. “We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him,” the statement concluded. “As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up,’ and together we plan to do just that.”
Since their divorce, Moore has continued to be part of the Red actor’s inner circle and the pair have both been open about their amicable coparenting throughout the years. In 2000, Bruce told Rolling Stone that he still had a strong affection for his ex-wife despite their split.
“I still love Demi. We’re very close,” the Unbreakable actor shared at the time. “We have three children whom we will continue to raise together, and we’re probably as close now as we ever. We realize we have a lifelong commitment to our kids. Our friendship continues. The institution has been set aside … It’s difficult to live your life and marriage under a magnifying glass, which is what happens to movie star couples.”
Moore, for her part, admitted that she was “very proud” of her divorce from Bruce. “It wasn’t easy at first, but we managed to move the heart of our relationship, the heart of what created our family, into something new that gave the girls a loving, supportive environment with both parents,” she wrote in her 2019 memoir, Inside Out. “We felt more connected than we did before the divorce.”
While the twosome may have experienced their ups and downs during their romantic relationship, their children have been famously impressed with the way they’ve been able to stay a tight-knit family after the split.
“I’m so thankful and grateful that my parents made such an effort at that time,” Rumer told Larry King in March 2015. “They always made an effort to do all of the family events still together and made such an effort to still have our family be as one unit, as opposed to two separate things, which I think really made an impact.”
In April 2020, the duo even raised eyebrows when fans discovered that they had quarantined with each other their daughters amid the global coronavirus outbreak.
Tallulah shared a photo of the family posed in matching green pajamas at the time, revealing that they had been staying together “for 27 days taking every precaution” to stay safe and healthy during the crisis.
