This set of photos comes amid the father of five's health struggles, which his family has been candid about for years. The Sixth Sense actor, who is also dad to 12-year-old daughter Mabel and 10-year-old daughter Evelyn with wife Emma Heming Willis — was diagnosed with aphasia back in March of 2022. In February 2023, Bruce's family issued a statement saying that his condition had progressed into frontotemporal dementia, which affects one's ability to communicate through speech. By October 2023, Bruce was reported to have lost his ability to speak.
Fans in the comments of Tallulah and Scout's post thanked them for posting these photos, and shared stories of how FTD — which talk show host Wendy Williams also suffers from — has affected their families.
"My dad is the same age as yours and he too has FTD," wrote one follower. "Thank you for sharing a glimpse of you[r] story. It helps feel less lonely on this journey. Sending love and prayers to your family every day."
"This makes me happy and somber," wrote another person. "Missing my own dad who has dementia."
While three of his five daughters noticeably absent from the Thanksgiving photos, Rumer frequently shares sweet photos with her dad, while Emma — who has been married to Bruce since 2009 — also keeps fans updated on his fatherly moments with his two youngest girls.
Earlier this month, Emma shared a video to her Instagram page featuring Bruce giving Evelyn a piggyback ride as they walked through the streets.
