Bruce Willis has kept out of the public eye since he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, but he still regularly sees his kids, as they make a special effort to keep in touch.

Both Tallulah and Bruce had comically downturned mouths as they looked at the camera; the former appeared to wear a stripey breton top and her hair up, while the latter kept it casual in a plaid shirt.
The photo was clearly a throwback, as she captioned it “#shotfromablackberry”, referring to the retro phone.

“He’s doing stable, which in this situation is good,” she said emotionally.

The 30-year-old recalled her mother’s own advice about being “present” when around him instead of thinking about the negative.
Demi has made her position clear, as she revealed recently that she tries to visit him and his wife Emma, who acts as his carer, weekly.
“What I always encourage is to just meet them where they’re at,” The Substance actress said. “When you’re holding on to what was, I think it’s a losing game. But when you show up to meet them where they’re at, there is great beauty and sweetness.”

Bruce’s kids with Demi aren’t the only ones who reminisce about their father, as Emma recently shared a heartfelt video of the actor with his youngest daughter Evelyn.
The clip showed a previous trip to New York City, in which Evelyn is sitting atop her dad’s shoulders as the family is walking around Manhattan’s Upper West Side on a sunny day.
Emma described it as “the best seat in the house.”
