Emma Heming Willis shares family photos as daughter Mabel turns 11 | CNN

Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming Willis took to social media to celebrate their 11-year-old daughter Mabel's birthday in style. The actress shared a nostalgic montage of family photos and videos taken over the years, accompanied by the iconic song "Pictures Of You" by The Cure.

In her heartfelt caption, Heming Willis expressed how proud she is of her little girl, praising Mabel for spreading joy wherever she goes with her infectious energy and warm smile. The actress also highlighted the importance of kindness, love, and care in relationships, encouraging Mabel to keep shining and never forget to "live it up."

Mabel's dad, Bruce Willis, is clearly a devoted father, as evident from the pictures shared by Heming Willis. A recent photo shows him hanging out with his preteen daughter in nature, while another captures him cuddling her as a baby and planting a kiss on her forehead.

The couple has been open about their personal struggles, including Bruce's diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) last February. In an update shared online, they announced that there are currently no treatments for the disease but hope to see progress in research and awareness in the years ahead.

Heming Willis has been a constant source of support for her husband, often sharing touching tributes on social media. Her latest post is a beautiful reminder of the love and bond between this family, who are facing life's challenges with courage and kindness.

aww looks like bruce & emma are totally crushing it as parents, no wonder they have a 11yo with such great energy πŸ€—πŸŽ‰. i mean, frontotemporal dementia can be tough on anyone but at least b&w are handling it together and being all inspiring about it πŸ’•. love how emma's still making those cute family pics a thing, must keep the memories close for when... well, you know πŸ˜”.
 
🀩 I'm so glad to see Bruce and Emma being super supportive parents, especially considering what they're going through with his diagnosis πŸ€•. It's amazing how Mabel's birthday turned out to be a celebration of love and positivity - it's really inspiring to see a preteen spreading joy wherever she goes 😊. And I love how Emma shared some beautiful family moments, it's clear they're making the most of their time together πŸ’•. Of course, it can't be easy dealing with FTD, but seeing them all so happy and in touch on social media makes you root for them 🀞. Here's to Mabel growing up to be an amazing person and spreading even more joy in life!
 
I'm loving Emma Heming Willis's birthday tribute to Mabel, but can we get real for a sec? πŸ€” I mean, Bruce Willis did have that frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, right? Like, he was just open about it on social media... shouldn't his ex-wife Dina, too, be sharing updates about him? πŸ™„ Anyway, I'm so happy to see Mabel shining bright and making her mom proud πŸ’•! But let's also give some shoutout to Bruce for being a super supportive dad, especially during tough times 😊. Maybe we should've seen more of him in public before that diagnosis came out... still, it's all love and positivity here 🌈!
 
meh, I'm not buying into all the sappiness around Mabel's birthday... don't get me wrong, it's nice to see her parents celebrating and stuff πŸ€—. But let's be real, Emma's getting a lot of flak for using "Pictures Of You" - isn't that song like, super clichΓ©? And what's with the whole "live it up" vibe? It feels like she's trying too hard to be inspirational πŸ™„. I guess it's good to see her and Bruce being open about their struggles with FTD, though... that takes a lot of courage πŸ’ͺ. Still, can't we just stick to the cute family pics instead of all the mushy feelings? πŸ˜’
 
love how Emma Heming Willis is keeping Mabel's birthday low-key yet still makes it special 😊. but you know what would make it even more special? having Bruce there too 🀞. can't help but feel sad seeing that old pic of him cuddling Mabel as a baby tho... it's like, life goes by so fast and now he's dealing with FTD πŸ’”. anyhoo, gotta give credit to Emma for being such a rockstar mom and partner in this whole thing πŸ™. that post is really beautiful ❀️. hope they get more updates on the research front 🀞
 
πŸ€— I think it's so great that Emma Heming Willis is celebrating Mabel's birthday in such a special way! πŸŽ‰ She's always been so open about her personal struggles, especially with Bruce's diagnosis, but it's clear that family is everything to them. ❀️ It's amazing how proud and supportive they are of each other, even when things get tough. I love that Emma shared all those adorable photos and videos – it's like you can feel the love and warmth in every post! πŸ“Έ Mabel sounds like an incredible little girl, spreading joy wherever she goes... what a role model for her parents to have! πŸ‘

I'm genuinely impressed by how open Bruce & Emma are about their struggles πŸ€—. It's not always easy to talk about tough stuff like dementia, but they're using it as an opportunity to spread awareness πŸ’‘. And can we just say how adorable Mabel looks in those old pics? 😍 She's growing up so fast! I love that Emma's sharing her wisdom with Mabel - teaching her to spread joy & kindness is such a valuable lesson 🌈. It's clear they're all about living life to the fullest, even with the challenges ahead πŸ’–.
 
I remember when birthdays were just about gettin' cake and presents πŸŽ‚πŸŽ, not some over-the-top montage on Instagram πŸ“Έ! Emma Heming Willis is just bein' a good mom, though - she wants her daughter to spread joy and kindness wherever she goes, that's super cool 😊. And it's great that Bruce Willis is so hands-on as a dad, even if life's thrown 'em some curveballs recently πŸ€•. His dementia diagnosis was tough to hear about, but the fact that they're keepin' things positive and supportive on social media is really admirable πŸ’•. Mabel's growin' up too fast, though - it feels like just yesterday she was a tiny little thing in baby photos 😭.
