‘Love you and love our family,’ she continued. ‘Thank you to everyone for the love and warm wishes – we all feel them.’

Later, Emma — who has been married to the Moonlighting actor for around 13 years — shared a close-up snap of the delicious-looking apple pie.

‘I tried to get a pumpkin pie,’ the model wrote over the photo, noting that pumpkin is his favorite. ‘That was a no-go. Apple pie is his second favorite.’

She wrote in the caption, ‘He is pure love. He is so loved. And I’ll be loving him always. Happy Birthday my sweet.’ 

Emma also posted an emotional message addressing her husband’s devastating dementia diagnosis.

In her video post, Emma described feeling particularly sad as she described making a reel for Bruce – and called watching his videos ‘a knife in my heart.’

‘So today is my husband’s birthday,’ she began. ‘I have started the morning by crying. As you can see by my swollen eyes and snotty nose, I just think it’s important you see all sides of this.’

Emma went on to say: ‘I always get this message or people always tell me like, “Oh you’re so strong, I don’t know how you do it.” I’m not given a choice. I wish I was. But I’m also raising two kids in this.

‘So sometimes in our lives we have to put our big girl panties on and get to it. And that’s what I’m doing. But I do have times of sadness every day. Grief everyday. And I’m really feeling it today on his birthday.’

She fought back tears in a second video describing the montage that she had been working on for Bruce.

‘So I worked on this reel that I’m posting for my husband’s birthday. I don’t know why I do that because the videos are like a knife in my heart. 

‘But as much as I do it for myself I do it for you. Because I know how much you love my husband and – don’t cry Emma – but it means so much to me so thank you.’

Hours later Emma shared the aforementioned reel, soundtracked by Stevie Wonder’s classic song As.

In conclusion, the mother-of-two wrote: ‘My birthday wish for Bruce is that you continue to keep him in your prayers and highest vibrations because his sensitive Pisces soul will feel it. Thank you so much for loving and caring for him too.’

Scout reposted the fun video shared by her mother Demi and wrote in her caption: ‘Also though, today has been PROFOUNDLY JOYFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL !!!!!! HAPPY BW’S BIRTHDAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE !!!!’

Although a happy day, she also shared that the celebratory event was difficult since Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) last month.

Less than a year ago, he retired from acting due to the brain disorder aphasia affecting his ability to understand language.

‘Today is not necessarily an easy day, because it’s a day full of so deep love, and our grief really does show us the depth of our loving for someone,’ Scout had written in her caption.

‘So I’m trying to be both today,’ the actress-turned-singer continued. Grief is a price I’ll always pay to know what it is to feel such love.’
