Bruce Willis Gets Goofy With Daughters As Aphasia Challenge Continues

Bruce Willis is one of the most legendary Hollywood actors of all time. He is most famous for his roles in action films but has also shown to have quite a diverse set of talents, appearing in films and television shows in a variety of genres and even showing off his skills as a singer. On top of that, Willis is also adored for his amazing qualities as a husband and father.

Willis was born Walter Bruce Willis on Mar. 19, 1955, in Idar-Oberstein, Germany. He grew up with a German mother and an American father, who was stationed there by the United States military at the time of his birth. In 1957, the family moved to the U.S. and raised Willis in Penns Grove, New Jersey.

Willis had his breakthrough in 1985 with the TV series "Moonlighting," and has since appeared in many more films. Some of his most loved performances include in the films “Pulp Fiction,” “Armageddon,” “The Sixth Sense,” and his portrayal of John McClane in the “Die Hard” franchise.

In his private life, Willis had some ups and downs when it came to finding love. He married two times and is the father of five daughters. Willis first married actress Demi Moore in 1987, and the two had three daughters together: Rumer, Scout and Tallulah. Although the couple was regarded as a Hollywood powerhouse at the time, the marriage was not working out behind closed doors. Willis and Moore divorced in 2000, but they have remained good friends and great co-parents ever since.

In 2009, Willis married model Emma Heming. Some of his wedding guests included his ex-wife and her then-husband, Ashton Kutcher. To this day, Willis and Heming are still happily married and have two daughters together, Mabel and Evelyn Penn.

Willis and Moore’s love story began in 1987. The pair tied the knot in November of that year and welcomed three daughters: Rumer, Scout and Tallulah. While Moore and Willis appeared happy in the public eye, they shocked the world in June 1998 when they announced their separation and filed for divorce two years later. 

Willis didn’t give up on love, and he finally found his way to model and actress Heming, the woman he now calls his wife. In 2017, Willis spoke highly of finding love with Heming. “I don’t want to be away from Emma at all,” he told Closer Weekly. “It’s the most singular relationship I’ve ever had in my life.”

Willis and Heming have two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn. The big blended family gets along well and even regularly takes photos together for social media. It’s clear from the photos just how incredibly close and loving Willis’ blended family is. Earlier this year, they had also stepped in to take care of him after he was diagnosed with aphasia, which made it increasingly difficult for him to act. The condition, which disrupts a person’s ability to communicate and understand speech, led to Willis’ retirement from acting in March 2022. Despite the setback, Willis, Heming, Moore and all the children have moved forward as a strong family unit and continue to give the “12 Monkeys” star the support and love he needs. 

On Instagram, Heming and Moore wrote:

"This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him."

Willis spent some of the year-end holidays in 2022 basking in the love and light of his beautiful family. Photos posted by Moore and their daughters on Instagram showed the entire family, including Heming and their two young daughters, hanging out at home as one unit. One photo showed Willis alongside Moore and Heming, surrounded by his daughters, with everyone sporting big and joyful smiles. Another photo showed Willis and Heming holding hands at the dinner table, with Willis beaming with happiness. A third picture was of Willis with Tallulah and her dog, Pilaf, as well as Moore, while the last picture in the carousel was of Pilaf with another pet dog. Moore captioned the post uploaded on Dec. 12, 2022, “We are FAMILY!! Getting into the holiday spirit!”

On Dec. 31, 2022, Heming posted a video showing highlights from the year, many of which included happy days out with Willis and their children. “We’re always up for a good time,” she wrote in the caption as gorgeous images of her and Willis spending quality time filled with laughter and smiles played in the clip.

On Jan. 12, 2023, Willis’ youngest daughter with Moore, Tallulah, posted a series of photos on Instagram, including some fun pictures of her and her father. In them, they were seen hugging each other as Willis made a goofy face as Tallulah broke out into an ear-to-ear smile. Tallulah captioned the post, “high drama club ~~ life skills ~~ fingers crossed I eat a veggie this week LMAO.” The pair were dressed in matching gray pants, showing just how close their father-daughter bond goes. 

These precious snaps show that, even as Willis’ struggle with aphasia continues, he isn’t letting it get in the way of some precious time with his big, beautiful, blended family.
