On Sunday, Demi, 61, posted a carousel of snaps of Bruce, 69, through the years.

The former couple's children, including Rumer Willis, Scout Willis, and Tallulah Willis, appeared in many of the adorable snaps.

"Happy Father's Day to our favorite girl dad. We love you, BW!" Demi captioned the post.

He was shirtless, wearing only swim trunks, while she was dressed in a pink outfit.

The second pic was more recent.

It showed Bruce standing alongside Rumer, 35, pointing up toward the sky.

She was cuddled close to her father, resting her head on his shoulder.

Demi shared yet a third pic of young Bruce, this time with one of his kids sitting on his lap.

He was again shirtless, wearing only shorts, while the little girl was wrapped in a towel.

The fourth photo showed a heartwarming moment between Bruce and Scout, 32.

Bruce was sitting on a couch while his daughter rested a hand on his cheek.

BRUCE'S BATTLE

Bruce's family offered an update on his health struggles in May.

The Vendetta star was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in February 2023.

He retired from acting one year earlier, after it was revealed that he was struggling with aphasia.

His daughter Rumer shared new details about her father's health on the Today Show.

"He's so good," she said before reflecting on him spending time with her daughter, Louetta.

"They had some sweet moments during their last visit together, which was recently," she recalled.

"Lou is just starting to walk a little bit, and she was walking over to him, and it was so sweet.

"He's a girl dad, through and through. I saw him with my sisters, my little sisters. So you're seeing that all come back again."

Rumer went on to reveal that she and her family have received so much love after opening up about Bruce's condition.

She also noted how important it has been for them to be open about it.

"If it can have any impact on another family that is struggling in any way with something like this, or bring more attention to the disease in hopes of finding a cure or anything that can be of service to anybody else, I think it's really important," she explained.

Bruce has been diagnosed with an aggressive degenerative disorder.

Doctors have said that patients with this ailment are frequently mute within two years of being diagnosed.

"Usually, once symptoms start, it's a pretty steady progression over the next few years," Dr Chris Winter, a neurologist, told DailyMail.com.

"Generally speaking, when they're diagnosed, there's a five-to-10-year prognosis, but in terms of the disability, it's in a few years, a lot of individuals are just not communicative."

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the most common form of dementia in people under the age of 60.

Symptoms include personality changes, obsessive behavior, and speaking difficulties.

Aphasia is the inability to understand or formulate language due to damage to areas of the brain.
