Demi Moore honored Bruce Willis with a sweet throwback photo of him and their three daughters on Instagram for Father's Day.

"Forever grateful to you BW for giving me these three beautiful girls. We love our #girldad. Happy Father's Day!" Moore wrote in her caption, accompanied by an old, black-and-white image of Willis and their kids piled together and sticking their tongues out for the camera.

Willis and Moore got married in November 1987 in an impromptu ceremony in Las Vegas, months after they met at a movie premiere.

In August 1988, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Rumer Willis — who Moore said she conceived on their wedding night, ET Online reported, citing Moore's 2019 memoir "Inside Out." Willis and Moore would go on to have two more daughters together, Scout LaRue Willis and Tallulah Belle Willis.

After 11 years of marriage, the pair filed for divorce in June 1998, citing "irreconcilable differences." Their divorce was finalized in October 2000.

The Hollywood stars remained close after the split and co-parented their kids.

"We have three children whom we will continue to raise together, and we're probably as close now as we ever were," Willis told Rolling Stone in December 2000. "We realize we have a lifelong commitment to our kids. Our friendship continues. The institution has been set aside."

Willis' current wife, Emma Hemming Willis, also took to Instagram to share a Father's Day tribute to her husband.

"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. 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," she wrote in her caption, accompanied by a heart emoji.

Willis married his current wife in March 2009 and they share two daughters together: Mabel Ray Willis, 11, and Evelyn Penn Willis, 9.

In March 2022, Willis' family announced on Instagram that the actor is "stepping away" from the profession after being diagnosed with the language and communication disorder aphasia.

Earlier this year, in February, his family revealed in a statement that Willis has also been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, or FTD, a degenerative condition that includes symptoms such as memory loss.

"Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead," the statement read. "As Bruce's condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research."
