Bruce Willis Cherishes Thanksgiving Moments, Holding Daughter’s Hand Tightly

Scout LaRue Willis shared a heartwarming video with her father, Bruce Willis, as their family gathered to celebrate Thanksgiving.

In the clip, posted on her Instagram Story, Scout extended her hand towards her dad, beaming as he placed his hand on hers. She then clasped his hand tightly. Captioning the video, Scout wrote: “My guy.”

The 32-year-old also posted a picture with her dad, sweetly resting her head in his hand. Scout looked lovely in a white top adorned with dainty blue flowers and big puffy sleeves.

Scout LaRue Willis smiled as she shared a sweet moment with her dad, Bruce Willis, who has been diagnosed with dementia. The pair celebrated Thanksgiving with their large family.

Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, shared a snap on social media of their quality time together. The picture included Bruce’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, who he divorced in 2000. Despite the separation, the pair remain great friends and share three children: Scout, Tallulah (29), and Rumer (35). All three of their children joined the holiday celebrations.

Also pictured were Bruce’s two children with Emma, 11-year-old Mabel and 9-year-old Evelyn. Captioning the post, Emma wrote: “I’m grateful and thankful to know this kind of love. Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving.”

Bruce’s family came together for Thanksgiving, sharing a heartwarming moment that fans adored.

Fans took to the comments to share their well-wishes. One fan wrote, “Wishing all of you a blessed Thanksgiving. You have such a beautiful family and your work on caregiving has really moved me. Thank you.”

Another commented, “Happy Thanksgiving! God bless you and your family. The love is evident and beautiful,” while a third added, “Pure love! Happy Thanksgiving, Emma and family.”

Bruce’s family announced his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) last year. Initially diagnosed with aphasia, the actor retired from his Hollywood career.

Scout lovingly described her dad as “my guy.”

In a statement, Bruce’s family shared: “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. As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”

Later, they announced that Bruce’s condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This type of dementia causes “challenges with communication,” emotional problems, and odd behaviors.

Unfortunately, Bruce’s condition has worsened. Glenn Gordon Caron, Moonlighting creator and close friend of Bruce, described him as an “extraordinary person” but said he is now losing his ability to speak.

“Bruce’s disease is a progressive disease, so I was able to communicate with him, before the disease rendered him as incommunicative as he is now,” he told the New York Post. Glenn remembered how his friend “adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest,” before reflecting on how much Bruce’s disease has seen him decline.
