Bruce Willis' 5 Daughters: Everything to Know

Bruce Willis is the ultimate girl dad — and he wouldn't have it any other way.

The longtime actor was married to Demi Moore when he became a dad for the first time in 1988. That year, the couple welcomed their eldest daughter Rumer Glenn Willis, 35, and it wasn't long before Scout LaRue Willis, 32, and Tallulah Belle Willis, 29, joined the family too. Although Bruce and Moore called it quits in 1998, that wouldn't be the end of Bruce's parenting journey.

In 2009, he tied the knot with model Emma Heming and the couple welcomed two more girls – Mabel Ray Willis, 11, and Evelyn Penn Willis, 9. Although being a dad to five daughters means the Die Hard star has never gotten the chance to raise a little boy, he enjoys being a girl dad and would gladly welcome more girls to his family!

"Bruce's response when asked if he'd like to have a son?… 'I'd have 5 more girls right now,' " Heming shared on Instagram in June 2021.

In March 2022, Bruce's family announced that he would be retiring from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia.

"We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him. As Bruce always says, 'Live it up' and together we plan to do just that," his family said in a message shared on their respective Instagram accounts. The note was signed by all five of the actor's daughters, as well as Heming and Moore.

The family gave an update on Bruce's health on Feb. 16, 2023, sharing that his condition had progressed into frontotemporal dementia. In a statement on Instagram, Moore, Heming and his three older daughters wrote, "While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis."

The next day, a source told PEOPLE that the actor's family "is all closer than ever" amid news of his FTD diagnosis. The insider added that Heming "is trying to make as many positive memories" for their daughters Mabel and Evelyn.

"She wants them to remember Bruce as an amazing, fun dad. She wants them to have the best memories of him," they added.

Bruce's children have continued to rally around him since his health announcement. In December 2022, the entire blended family got together for dinner, as seen in photos posted by Moore on Instagram. "We are FAMILY!! Getting into the holiday spirit!" she captioned a snap of her and Bruce smiling with their three daughters, Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, along with Heming, Evelyn and Mabel.

That same month, Bruce's eldest daughter announced she was expecting her first child. A source told PEOPLE that the retired actor was looking forward to meeting his first grandchild. "He is happy about becoming a grandpa," the insider said. "He loves having a big family. They are all spending Christmas together."

"Bruce is enjoying not working and having more family time. He likes being around his girls more," they added.

On March 19, 2023, Bruce turned 68 years old, and Heming celebrated by sharing a video tribute to her husband on Instagram. The clip featured many sweet moments between Bruce and his two youngest daughters, Mabel and Evelyn.

Rumer gave birth to her daughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis, on April 18, 2023. The actress and her boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas, introduced their little bundle of joy to the world on Instagram.

"Omg we love her so so much 😍😍😍😍," Heming commented on a sweet photo of the newborn.

Three months later, Heming celebrated the 35th anniversary of the Die Hard premiere by sharing a video of Mabel and Evelyn on the Fox Studio lot. It was there that they marveled at the "larger-than-life mural of their dad."

Rumer Glenn Willis, 35

Bruce and Moore welcomed their eldest daughter, Rumer Glenn Willis, on Aug. 16, 1988, in Paducah, Kentucky, while Bruce was in the middle of working on his film In Country. The couple chose to raise Rumer outside of Hollywood, with the little girl spending much of her childhood in Hailey, Idaho, where the family purchased a $2.5 million mansion.

Although Rumer was raised in a small town, she still got a taste of life in the spotlight at a young age. When she was just five, she made her onscreen debut in her mom's coming-of-age film Now and Then — but was credited under the name Willa Glen. A few years later, she appeared on the big screen again in Striptease, where she portrayed Moore's onscreen daughter.

Growing up, Rumer continued to periodically appear in films, including Bruce's The Whole Nine Yards and Hostage. As a high schooler, she moved to Los Angeles, where she attended Wildwood Secondary School. She befriended other famous celebrity offspring like Riley Keough and Dakota Johnson, but says after moving to the west coast, she began to experience intense scrutiny about her appearance that she hadn't previously faced while living in a small town.

"They said I had a huge jaw. They said I had a ′potato head.' When you're 14 or 15, I didn't really understand having value in myself yet. My mind went to, 'Okay, so if I get skinny or if I dress the right way or present myself very hyper-sexually and dress this way, then I'll be valued,' " Rumer shared. "So much for me became wrapped up in that my value set is based on what other people think of me, and had nothing to do with what I thought about myself."

Rumer sought to take some time away from the spotlight when she enrolled at the University of Southern California in 2006. She only attended USC for one semester before dropping out after deciding to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. She then appeared in films like The House Bunny, From Within and Sorority Row. She even took home the award for Breakthrough Performance at the Young Hollywood Awards for her appearance in the high school comedy Wild Cherry.

Since those early days of her acting career, Rumer has appeared in numerous other films, including There's Always Woodstock, Hello Again and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, as well as TV series like The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Pretty Little Liars and Empire. She's also participated in quite a few reality shows like The Masked Singer and Dancing with the Stars, where she was crowned champion alongside her partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy.

Rumer has also pursued her love of music throughout her career, appearing on Broadway as Roxie Hart in a 2015 production of Chicago and singing as part of her role on Empire.

In 2017, Rumer opened up about her decision to get sober, although she later clarified that her choice had nothing to do with substance abuse. She explained that she had originally decided to take part in "sober January" and then realized it was something she didn't want to stop.

Now at 35, Rumer continues to be close with her parents, spending much of the pandemic quarantining with her family. In July 2022, she posed in an Andie swim campaign alongside Moore and two of her sisters.

In December 2022, Rumer and her boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas, announced they were expecting their first child.

"Entering my hot kooky unhinged grandma era," Moore wrote on Instagram in response to the big news.

In April 2023, Rumer told PEOPLE she hopes her unborn baby has Bruce and Moore's "goofiness."

"We're a family of weirdos, and I love that so much. I really hope that that is engendered in this child," she said. "That's my favorite thing, laughing with my family."

Rumer added that she planned to give birth "unmedicated" like her mom.

The Empire actress did just that on April 18, 2023. During a home birth, Rumer welcomed her daughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis, into the world.

"You are pure magic. You are more than we ever dreamed of," she and Thomas wrote in a joint Instagram announcement, which featured a photo of little Louetta sleeping on a pillow.

Four months later, Rumer celebrated her own birthday with an Instagram post. The actress included a picture of herself breastfeeding her baby girl plus a lengthy caption in which she recalled being pregnant on her birthday the year before.

"I was nervous and excited and felt so many tiny little butterflies in my belly and in deep wondering of who this little soul may be," she wrote. The proud mom also discussed the confidence she's gained and how she's found "divine purpose" as a parent.

Scout LaRue Willis, 32

The former couple's second daughter, Scout LaRue Willis, was born on July 20, 1991, in Sun Valley, Idaho, close to where the family had settled down with Rumer. Like her sister, Scout spent her younger years out of the spotlight, although she did appear in Moore's 1995 film The Scarlet Letter and Bruce's 1999 film Breakfast of Champions.

As a teenager, Scout moved to L.A. with her family and later enrolled at Brown University. After graduating in 2013, Scout turned her attention to more artistic endeavors. She took part in a London exhibition that featured her self-portraits and later shared topless photos of herself as a commentary on body politics and Instagram's censorship of women. As part of her effort to start a discussion, she walked around New York City topless — pointing out that it was legal to do so while Instagram's rules censored nudity.

As of late, Scout has been focusing her attention on music — which conveys similar themes to her art. While she did release an EP in 2012 as part of the duo Gus + Scout, she didn't decide to wholeheartedly pursue music for another decade. After teaching herself to play guitar in 2016, she released her debut single, "Love Without Possession," in 2021. The following year, she released "Woman at Best," which she called an "ode to feminine creativity, sexuality and freedom." In June 2022, she released her self-titled full-length album.

While Scout's Instagram is mainly full of photos of her artwork and promotions for her music career, she did share a rare family photo in July 2021 in honor of her 30th birthday. "30 years ago today the V* rare 2 of 3 DemiXBruce collab dropped," she captioned a snap of her smiling with Bruce and Moore.
