And now Bruce's loved ones have flooded the actor with love on Father's Day, with both Emma and Demi sharing sweet posts about the doting dad.
Bruce's ex Demi Moore shared a sweet throwback snap of Bruce with his three daughtersDemi, 60, who married Bruce in 1987 and remained married to the actor for 13 years, took to Instagram on the special day to share a black and white throwback.

"Lovely family. It is precious, the love and respect you show and have always shown for him. You have been and continue to be a wonderful lady," wrote one fan in the comments.
While another said that the snap was "full of love and happiness".
Bruce's wife Emma Heming Willis, 45, with whom he shares Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, nine, then posted her own sweet snap and message.
Emma shared a snap of Bruce with Mabel and penned: "Father’s Day is a time I get to reflect on my deep appreciation and respect I have for Bruce as I watch him, father, our little ones."
His current wife Emma also shared a sweet post for Father's DayShe added: "Where it might not be 'conventional', what he’s teaching them will span generations. Unconditional love, kindness, strength, compassion, patience, generosity, resilience.
"Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad I know, who will forever be the gift that keeps giving within our family."
Fans were quick to flock to the comments section to send their love to the Willis family, with one writing: "Picture is worth a thousand words."
