Bruce Willis is a proud girl dad.
The “Die Hard” star has welcomed five daughters with Demi Moore and Emma Heming over the years.
Willis married Moore in November 1987. Since finalizing their divorce nearly 13 years later, the former couple have amicably co-parented Rumer, Scout and Tallulah.
In March 2009, the actor wed Heming, with whom he shares Mabel and Evelyn.
“Your kids need your love and attention, and being able to devote myself to them is very fulfilling,” he gushed of fatherhood in a June 2013 Everything Zoomer interview. “As I get older, spending time with my daughters makes things much easier. You learn to put your ego aside.”
Eight years later, Willis retired from acting due to his battle with aphasia, a brain disorder. Moore, Heming and their kids rallied around him at the time — and again in February 2023 when his condition worsened and he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

Rumer Glenn Willis
Bruce and Moore’s eldest child, Rumer, arrived in August 1988 and was raised in Idaho.
Rumer, who acted throughout her childhood, moved to Los Angeles for high school and college before dropping out of the University of Southern California to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.
Not only has the actress had roles in “Wild Cherry,” “Pretty Little Liars” and some of her parents’ projects, but she has made headlines for her reality show appearances, from winning “Dancing With the Stars” in May 2015 to competing on “The Masked Singer” in early 2019.
Rumer became sober in December 2017, telling “Red Table Talk” viewers that she had developed an unhealthy relationship with alcohol after watching Moore relapse.
In November 2022, the “Empire” star went public with her and Derek Richard Thomas’ romance. The duo announced their pregnancy news the following month.
Rumer’s daughter, Louetta, arrived in an unmedicated home birth in April 2023.
Scout LaRue Willis
Three years after Bruce and Moore became parents, they welcomed daughter Scout in July 1991.
With her family, the artist moved from Idaho to LA as a teen, later enrolling at Brown University for a degree in literary arts.
Scout has since pursued music, teaching herself to play guitar in 2016 and releasing her “Scout LaRue Willis” album in June 2022. She is dating fellow musician Jake Miller.
Tallulah Belle Willis
Tallulah joined the family in February 1994, revealing during a “Stars on Mars” episode nearly three decades later that she “didn’t fully understand” her parents’ fame growing up.
The fashion designer is sober like both of her sisters, an experience she opened up about on “Red Table Talk” in November 2019.

Tallulah said she started drinking at age 14 and “almost died from alcohol poisoning” the following year. She also used codeine and cocaine before her family members intervened and she voluntarily entered treatment.
Amid her sobriety, Tallulah sought help at age 25 for an eating disorder and the depression she had been battling since her teens.
She divulged another treatment experience in a May 2023 Vogue essay, writing that she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder at Driftwood Recovery in Texas after being “dumped” by ex-fiancé Dillon Buss.
As for her career goals, Bruce and Moore’s youngest acted as a child but later turned her attention to fashion, launching her Wyliss brand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mabel Ray Willis
In April 2012, Bruce and Heming’s first child arrived, a baby girl named Mabel who was born in Los Angeles and raised in New York.
The Emmy winner told Everything Zoomer the following year that he was “changing diapers like a champ” and loving his second round of fatherhood later in life.
“I still have a lot of energy left, so I can get up early in the morning and take care of her for a while and let Emma relax,” he explained, calling himself “happier than … ever.”
Evelyn Penn Willis
Mabel became a big sister in May 2014 when sister Evelyn was born.
In addition to sharing photos of Evelyn via Instagram over the years, from bike rides to rollercoasters, Heming shared a sweet story about the little one researching “facts about dementia” to help her dad.
Heming told her daughter, “That is the most loving and compassionate thing that you can do is to be curious and educate yourself on your dad’s disease.”
