In a rare video shared on Instagram, Bruce is seen dancing with ex-wife Demi Moore, whom he was married to from 1987 to 2000.
"To the King...I love you Daddio," Rumer, 36, captioned the post. "Happy 70th Birthday papa." (In addition to Rumer, the Die Hard icon and Moore, 62, share daughters Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31. Bruce also shares daughters Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10, with wife Emma Heming Willis.)
It's unclear when exactly the video was taken, but the sweet moment quickly had fans celebrating Bruce's big day.
"Omg icons behavior!!😍 they are truly legends❤️," one person wrote.
"The way i just posted this video to my stories 🥹❤️ legends behavior!!! happy birthday BW," said another.
"1 of the COOLEST guys ever 😎🥹🥰🥳🎂," chimed in a third.
"❤️🥰❤️ What a couple! 😍😍😍," someone else added.
"Thanking the gawds for those 2 and the legacy they created with you and your sisters ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for sharing your lives, for being raw and real with the challenges of life ❤️❤️❤️ happy birthday 🥳," another gushed.
The post comes as part of a wave of sweet tributes from the Willis family.
Tallulah, 31, shared a heartfelt message alongside a photo of herself holding what appears to be a harmonica next to her dad.
"He's a spaceman, a hero with a badge, a sassy detective with unparalleled banter," the The Whole Ten Yards actress wrote on Instagram, before adding, "but really — this is my Dad." She reflected on her childhood, recalling how people often asked what it was like to have "capital B Bruce Willis" as a father. "He's a person, a man, a son, a kid from Jersey who hit the motherf***ing jackpot of life."
Meanwhile, Scout, 33, honored their dad with a carousel of throwback photos and a video of him kissing her on the cheek.
"Happy birthday to the Greatest of all time 🐐," the "Woman at Best" singer wrote on Instagram. "Every day I thank the Gods that 50% of my DNA is from him. The music I make, the magic I create, and the magnetic mischief I incite, that's my father's legacy alive in the world."
Bruce was diagnosed with aphasia in March 2022. At the time, Rumer shared an Instagram post — signed by her siblings, stepmom Emma, now 46, and Moore — announcing that he would be stepping away from acting, calling it a difficult decision made with love and gratitude for his career. Nearly a year later, his family revealed in a statement that his condition had progressed, leading to a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia.
