Bruce Willis and Wife renew their vows

Bruce Willis made a rare but heartwarming appearance during the Thanksgiving holiday as his wife, Emma Heming Willis, revealed they were spending the day as one large blended family in a group photo. 

On the crowded couches in a lavish backyard, Bruce’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, sat alongside jokingly pointing at the couple and laughing as Emma gently held Bruce’s face next to her with a smile of utter contentment playing across their faces.

Bruce’s eldest daughters who he shares with Demi, Tallulah and Rumer, appeared with their significant others while Scout sat between her dad and step-mother’s legs as she shared a chuckle at the camera. 

His youngest daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, who he shares with Emma, sat on Tallulah’s lap along with the family’s sweet new pup. 

Emma lovingly captioned the photo on Instagram: “I’m grateful and thankful to know this kind of love.

“Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving.”

The tight-knit family’s reunion comes amid the actor’s ongoing struggle with frontotemporal dementia, which Emma has become an advocate for since taking on caring duties for her happiness while still raising their young daughters. 

While the 45-year-old has been bravely outspoken about even the hardest aspects of caring for the Die Hard star, his deteriorating condition is now also affecting his daughters as they shared some candid insights for the first time recently. 

Bruce’s eldest daughter, Rumer, who welcomed her first child in April, shared a heartbreaking photo on Instagram just days before her family’s Thanksgiving celebrations.

She wrote in the caption: “Really missing my papa today,” alongside a throwback snap of the Hollywood star holding her as a baby. 

Fans shared their sympathies but tried to reassure the 35-year-old that her dad “isn’t really gone” and that “he’s still in there” despite his progressing dementia, which has already reportedly taken hold of his language skills

Tallulah, Bruce and Demi’s youngest daughter, also recently appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show to talk about her father’s condition, explaining it as an “aggressive cognitive disease - form of dementia - that is very rare”.

She gratefully noted that deep down she feels her father is “the same”, adding that it’s “the best thing you can ask for," with his diagnosis.
