He has five daughters – Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, nine, whom he has with Emma, ​​as well as Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 29, with his first wife Demi Moore.

All of his children and two wives have rallied around Bruce, as the 68-year-old film star battles a battle with dementia.

Bruce “loved waking up every morning and trying to live life to the fullest,” but now he lives as if he “sees life through a glass door.”
