Bruce Willis‘ daughter Mabel, 12, had her family supporting her at her elementary school graducation on Tuesday.
While Bruce, who is living with frontotemporal dementia, appeared to be absent from the milestone day his wife Emma Herring, 45, was joined by his ex wife Demi Moore, 61, for the ceremony.
Proud mom Emma was seen arriving at the graduation with her and Bruce’s youngest daughter Evelyn, 10, while Demi walked in with her daughters Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 30.
Demi looked chic in an oversized grey suit teamed with sneakers while Emma wore a black mini dress and kitten heels.

Emma was seen carrying a beautiful bouquet of pink peonies into the ceremony for Mabel, who was later spotted chatting with her family after the ceremony before the group headedout to celebrate with a dinner at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.
Emma and Demi are close and in the wake of Bruce’s devastating dementia diagnosis the family have rallied around the actor.
Bruce, 69, married Demi in 1987 but the pair separated in 2000. As Demi found love with younger actor Ashton Kutcher, 46, (who she split from 2011), Bruce later fell for English model and actress Emma, who is almost 25 years his junior.
But Bruce, Demi and Emma were determined to remain friends for the sake of their children – Bruce and Demi have three daughters together and he and Emma have two. and the couples became close.
Bruce has previously noted that people are often baffled by his friendship with Demi – with whom he shares children Rumer, 35, Scout, 32 and Tallulah, 30.
‘It’s generated a lot of interest because everyone can understand resentment and envy in the breakup of a marriage, but they don’t understand how I can get along with my ex like that,’ he said.
‘Demi and I made a choice to put the kids first, and we’re really lucky that it turns out we all have fun together.’
During an interview with Larry King in March 2015, Rumer praised her parents for getting along and making it a point to remain a family after they divorced and married other people.

‘They always made an effort to do all of the family events still together and made such an effort to still have our family be as one unit, as opposed to two separate things, which I think really made an impact,’ she said.
In 2020, Bruce and Demi made headlines after they spent four weeks in quarantine with their daughters, two of their daughters’ boyfriends, and her assistant amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The actor’s wife and two youngest daughters were not with them, but Scout later explained that there was a simple explanation for their absence.
‘My stepmom was going to come up here with my little sisters,’ she said on the Dopey podcast in 2020.
‘But my younger sister, who is now actually seven years old, at a park, had never gotten a talk about not f**king with hypodermic needles that she found, so she actually tried to poke her shoe with it and poked her foot.

‘So my stepmom had to be in LA waiting to get the results from taking her to the doctor so my dad came up here early and then travel got crazy so my stepmom stayed in LA with my little sisters.’
In February 2023, Bruce’s family revealed the actor had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) – less than one year after he retired from acting due to his battle with brain disorder, aphasia.
Bruce withdrew from acting in 2022 as he began his fight with the illness that caused his language abilities to deteriorate – and his condition later ‘progressed’ according to a joint statement from his family.
FTD affects the lobes of the brain behind the forehead, which deal with behaviour, problem-solving, planning and emotions – with symptoms including personality changes, obsessive behaviour and speaking difficulties.
