多年来，布鲁斯·威利斯一直是好莱坞扮演身手不凡的战士和忠贞不渝的爱人的首选演员之一。只要他在电影中坠入爱河，他们的感情就必然会经历重重磨难，无论是《第五元素》中与地球上最重要的生物亡命天涯，还是《第六感》中苦苦追寻却始终无法触及的爱人，亦或是《虎胆龙威》中试图从恐怖分子手中救出与他分居的妻子。

在2018年的喜剧中心吐槽大会上，布鲁斯·威利斯也提到了他令人印象深刻的动作片履历。 “没有什么能打倒我，”他说。“我曾遭受恐怖分子、小行星、影评人、乐评人、餐厅评论家、离婚律师的攻击，甚至还经历过男性型脱发，但这一切都无法阻止我，因为我依然是布鲁斯·威利斯。” 相比之下，他的第一次婚姻却轻松无比——直到离婚律师找上门来。1987年，布鲁斯与《特种部队》女星黛米·摩尔喜结连理，这对好莱坞明星夫妇携手走过了13年，并育有三个女儿：鲁默·威利斯、斯考特·威利斯和塔卢拉·威利斯。这对友好分手的夫妇于2000年正式离婚。“我仍然爱着黛米……我们现在的关系可能和以前一样亲密，”布鲁斯同年告诉《滚石》杂志。

最终，一位新的恋人走进了他的生活：模特艾玛·海明。婚礼的钟声、孩子的降生以及两个幸福家庭的融合接踵而至，但由于一场毁灭性的诊断，这对恩爱夫妻的爱情故事充满了苦乐参半的色彩。

布鲁斯·威利斯不得不等待才能与艾玛·海明约会

艾玛·海明出生于马耳他，父母离异后，她和母亲收拾行囊前往伦敦，开启新的生活。她的模特生涯也由此起步。“90年代初，我妈妈帮我报名参加了伦敦的‘英国ELLE超级模特大赛’，我赢得了冠军，”海明在她的个人网站上写道。很快，她便周游世界，身着迪奥、华伦天奴、香奈儿等奢侈品牌的华服，在T台上大放异彩。最终，她与自己最初认定的丈夫定居加州。

据《W》杂志报道，2005年威利斯第一次见到海明时，她已经与布伦特·博尔特豪斯订婚，博尔特豪斯是一位成功的夜总会推广人，曾出演真人秀《好莱坞女孩》。威利斯当时正在朋友、健身达人冈纳·彼得森（Gunnar Peterson）的健身房锻炼，看到海明正要离开。“我说，‘冈纳，我只想跟你说句话。哇！她是谁？’”威利斯在《深夜秀》（The Late Show）节目中回忆道（via Celebitchy）。

威利斯最终认识了海明，但由于她当时有未婚夫，他只能勉强维持在“朋友区”，直到2007年海明和博尔特豪斯（Bolthouse）分手。海明分手后计划搬到纽约，但在她离开洛杉矶前几天，威利斯说服她和他约会。“然后我们就疯狂地爱上了彼此，”他向《W》杂志回忆道。

这对情侣的热带婚礼

虽然布鲁斯·威利斯很快就和艾玛·海明建立了牢不可破的感情，但这位《虎胆龙威》的男主角原本希望在与黛米·摩尔离婚后过上自由自在的生活。海明让他意识到，在他固执地保持单身的那段时间里，他错过了什么。“我以前会说，‘我虽然单身，但我并不孤独。’但我只是在自欺欺人，”他向《W》杂志坦言。“后来我开始和艾玛交往，我的生活也日渐幸福。”

2009年3月，威利斯和海明首次喜结连理，邀请了一些亲朋好友在威利斯位于特克斯和凯科斯群岛的房产中共同庆祝。据威利斯的好友、作曲家罗伯特·克拉夫特透露，威利斯的三个女儿在婚礼招待会上对他的爱显而易见。“她们关于父亲的致辞感人至深，”克拉夫特说道。之后，海明在Instagram上分享了一张她和威利斯在聆听婚礼致辞时泪流满面的照片。摩尔也收到了活动的邀请，当时她的丈夫，《70年代秀》的明星阿什顿·库彻也受邀出席。这对热爱推特的恩爱夫妻确保每个人都知道他们玩得非常开心。“看着我老婆穿着比基尼帮我熨西装，”库彻在仪式前发推文说，“我爱上帝！”

回到洛杉矶后，威利斯和海明举行了第二次民事结婚仪式，庆祝他们的结合。

布鲁斯·威利斯和艾玛·海明育有两个孩子

艾玛·海明认识布鲁斯·威利斯时，他最小的女儿塔卢拉·威利斯已经12岁了。因此，当梅布尔·雷·威利斯于2012年4月1日加入这个家庭时，她和她的继姐妹们之间年龄差距相当大。当时的布鲁斯已经是一位育儿专家，他的目标是把梅布尔培养成一个有爱心、有同情心、体贴的人。

而且，显然，他们不是吸血鬼。“你得给他们定条规矩，”梅布尔出生几个月后，布鲁斯·威利斯告诉坎迪斯，“一开始是‘别咬人！’之类的。然后就变成‘永远都不能做坏事。’”

但布鲁斯·威利斯并非严厉的管教者；他还会在家里扮演喜剧演员的角色来逗孩子们开心。“你知道，他们就像是你的固定观众。就算他们不喜欢你的笑话，也没办法躲开你，”他在2013年接受That Shelf采访时打趣道，“我喜欢逗孩子们笑，而且我仍然会做各种蠢事来逗他们笑。”2014年5月5日，他又多了一位忠实的观众：女儿伊芙琳·佩恩·威利斯。

布鲁斯在纽约州贝德福德山创办了他温馨的家庭喜剧俱乐部。 2017年，海明在接受《Elle Decor》杂志采访时解释了为什么他们选择在这里抚养孩子。“我们希望孩子们能有更大的活动空间，还有院子可以奔跑玩耍……我们把整个房子都打造成了一个儿童友好型区域。”

为人母的经历激发了艾玛·海明创立护肤品牌的灵感

在停止模特工作后，艾玛·海明很难决定未来的职业方向。但当她第一次体验到为人母的滋味时，她灵光一闪。“我当时正在使用椰子油，非常喜欢它。在梅布尔两个月大的时候，我就萌生了创立CocoBaba的想法。”她告诉The Local Moms Network。在CocoBaba的网站上，海明回忆起怀孕后决定彻底改变自己的护肤习惯。即将为人母让她更加关注自己涂抹在身上的东西，而她也从母亲和祖母那里了解到纯天然椰子油的多功能性。 “我特别容易长妊娠纹，但这款产品让我两次怀孕都没有留下妊娠纹，”她写道。

海明不喜欢这款油的地方在于它包装不方便。这促使她创立了自己的产品线，专门为孕妇设计，呵护她们不断变化的肌肤。除了改进包装，她还咨询了专家，研发出比单独使用油更清爽的配方。对她来说，产品成分安全也是至关重要的。

虽然海明非常重视自己的事业，但这远不是她人生中最大的热情。“我想专注于那些让我快乐的事情——我的家人，确保我的健康和良好的状态。事业只是次要的，”她告诉“本地妈妈网络”（The Local Moms Network）。

艾玛·威利斯和黛米·摩尔相处融洽

艾玛·海明告诉《W》杂志，和有孩子的人谈恋爱对她来说是全新的体验，但布鲁斯·威利斯的女儿们热情地接纳了她——黛米·摩尔也是如此。 “我真的很幸运，因为从一开始一切都很舒适愉快，”海明说道。威利斯和前妻离婚后依然保持着良好的关系，这无疑帮了大忙；摩尔甚至还和布鲁斯、海明一起享受了几次愉快的家庭旅行。“如果大家都觉得没问题——而且你不是装出来的——那我们大家都是赢家，”布鲁斯在接受《男士杂志》采访时谈到他们的友谊时说道。

海明告诉“本地妈妈网络”，她听过不少关于心怀怨恨的前妻的可怕故事，她们让重组家庭的和谐生活变得不可能。但摩尔确保她不必担心不和或分裂。“她像我欢迎她加入我们的家庭一样欢迎我，”海明告诉《美国周刊》。“我非常敬佩布鲁斯和黛米在离婚后如何努力把孩子放在第一位。”

2021年国际妇女节，摩尔在Instagram上表达了对海明的爱意。她写道：“她的干劲、决心和热情令人振奋，她本人也绝对鼓舞人心。”摩尔透露，她视海明为家人，两人在2022年与布鲁斯和女儿们的假日合照中也确实展现了这种亲密关系。

黛米·摩尔出席了他们的十周年结婚誓言重温仪式

2019年，艾玛·海明和布鲁斯·威利斯庆祝结婚十周年之际，决定以一场誓言重温仪式来纪念这一里程碑。他们的女儿梅布尔和伊芙琳在仪式中扮演了重要角色。“这真的是为了她们，让她们能够担任花童，参与到这样意义非凡的仪式中来，”海明告诉《美国周刊》。威利斯与前妻所生的女儿们也出席了仪式，黛米·摩尔本人也到场了。“她能来参加仪式很重要。她参加了我们的第一次婚礼，”海明说道。 “我很高兴她能再次来到这里。没有她，我做不到。”

海明透露，梅布尔和伊芙琳不仅因为受邀参加仪式而兴奋不已，更因为她们有机会和继姐妹们共度时光。“孩子们都非常喜欢她们。事实上，我们正准备搬回西部，这样就能离她们更近一些。”海明说道。在接受“本地妈妈网络”采访时，她透露自己与继女们也建立了特殊的感情。“现在她们已经长大成人了。”

而且，我可以和他们进行这些精彩的对话。 “这些关系随着时间的推移确实发生了变化，”她说。

在摩尔帮助威利斯和海明庆祝结婚十周年几个月后，她邀请他们参加了她的回忆录《由内而外》（Inside Out）的发布会。在活动上，这对爱侣与摩尔、鲁默、塔卢拉和斯考特合影留念。

艾玛·海明曾出演过她丈夫的两部电影。

2009年，艾玛·海明和布鲁斯·威利斯公开恋情后，一位消息人士告诉《第六页》（Page Six），他们第一次见面是在威利斯为他2007年的惊悚片《完美陌生人》（Perfect Stranger）寻找小角色模特的时候。这位知情人士还声称，威利斯想亲自到场观看她们的试镜，并说：“我猜他需要个约会对象。” 据报道，威利斯在观看了海明和另一位模特的试镜后，同时开始与她们约会。但威利斯坚称他第一次见到海明是在健身房。虽然海明确实在《完美陌生人》中获得了一个小角色，但这对情侣告诉《W》杂志，他们当时已经……那时他们已经成了朋友。

据威利斯说，他喜欢海明的一点是她没有追求演艺事业。不过，她后来确实在2013年的动作喜剧片《赤焰战场2》中与他合作出演。她在片中饰演一位FBI机构的行政人员，因为一件西装外套被人称赞，结果几分钟后就被枪杀。

在《赤焰战场2》的新闻发布会上，威利斯（据《美国周刊》报道）吹嘘道：“我在这部电影里要和两个女人接吻，这在我其他的作品中很少发生。”他告诉媒体，海明完全不介意他和凯瑟琳·泽塔-琼斯以及玛丽-路易斯·帕克两位女星的吻戏，尽管他显然觉得在拍摄这些激情戏之前有必要解释一下。“你会说，‘你看，剧本里就是这么写的，’”他说。

威利斯-摩尔一家疯狂的隔离故事

疫情初期，黛米摩尔、布鲁斯·威利斯和艾玛·海明决定，对他们这个重组家庭来说，最好的隔离地点是摩尔位于爱达荷州的庄园。但当摩尔在Instagram上分享了一张全家穿着配套的绿白条纹睡衣的合照时，却发现少了几个重要成员：海明和她的女儿们。

2020年4月，斯考特·威利斯在“Dopey”播客节目中解释了三人缺席的原因。她透露，她的继妹伊芙琳在公园里玩耍时，在地上捡到了一根注射器针头，结果犯了一个让她父母非常担心的错误。“她竟然想用针头扎自己的鞋子，结果扎到了脚，”斯考特回忆道。海明不得不带女儿去看医生，检查废弃注射器针头上可能潜藏的各种可怕病菌。在等待检测结果期间，海明决定带着两个女儿留在洛杉矶。

到2020年5月初，海明和女儿们终于抵达了……爱达荷州。她分享了一段伊芙琳在爸爸和姐姐们的鼓励下学习骑自行车的视频，视频中伊芙琳正在学习骑没有辅助轮的自行车。海明在下个月庆祝了她的生日。她发布了一张摩尔在家庭野餐时准备点燃生日蛋糕蜡烛的照片，并配文：“这真是一个快乐的生日。”

艾玛·海明以幽默的方式透露她的婚姻并非完美无瑕

2009年，布鲁斯·威利斯还沉浸在新婚的甜蜜中时，他告诉《W》杂志，他对艾玛·海明的强烈感情让他难以专心工作，拯救世界免受小行星、外星人等的威胁。“我一点也不想离开艾玛。” “这是我一生中最独特的一段感情，”他激动地说。但在2021年与海明庆祝结婚12周年时，她坦言有时希望自己和这位《世界末日》的男主角能一起接受一些真正的宇航员训练。“天哪，我真是爱他爱到月球再返回！虽然有时候我真想带他上月球，把他放下，然后自己一个人回来！”她在Instagram上开玩笑说。

幸运的是，威利斯很能接受善意的玩笑。他和海明一起观看了威利斯的前妻黛米·摩尔在2018年喜剧中心吐槽大会上拿她与这位动作明星失败的婚姻开玩笑，海明告诉《Closer Weekly》杂志，她最喜欢威利斯的一点就是他的幽默感。他爱玩的一面也深受孩子们的喜爱。“我喜欢他爱玩爱闹。” “他总是带孩子们出去堆雪人、滑雪橇、游泳，”她告诉当地妈妈网络。“他活泼好动，我也一样——我经常带他们出去玩——但他是个精力充沛、爱玩爱闹的爸爸。”

艾玛·海明透露丈夫被诊断出患有失语症和痴呆症

2022年3月，艾玛·海明在Instagram上发布了一条令人悲伤的消息：布鲁斯·威利斯患有失语症。根据梅奥诊所的说法，这种疾病的一些症状包括言语障碍和难以理解对话。患有这种疾病的人也可能难以阅读和写作。“因此，经过慎重考虑，布鲁斯决定退出。”

“他生前非常热爱演艺事业，但如今却不得不放弃这份事业，”海明写道。她还向这位影星的粉丝保证，他身边充满了爱与支持，并补充说：“我们作为一个坚强的家庭正在共同度过难关。”

眼睁睁看着挚爱之人认知能力下降绝非易事。2022年8月，海明透露，她正努力让自己忙于绘画、园艺和运动等爱好，以此分散注意力。虽然在一段展示她进行这些活动的视频中，她看起来快乐而专注，但她也坦言自己内心十分痛苦。“我的悲伤有时会让我感到麻木，但我正在学习如何与之共存，”她写道。“正如我的继女斯考特·威利斯告诉我的那样，悲伤是爱最深沉、最纯粹的形式。”我希望你也能从中得到一些安慰。”

令人难过的是，2023年2月，海明又带来了一个令人心碎的消息。“布鲁斯的病情恶化了，我们现在有了更具体的诊断：额颞叶痴呆（简称FTD）。”她写道，“虽然这很痛苦，但终于有了明确的诊断，也算是一种解脱。”

艾玛·海明称布鲁斯是她的“北极星”

在Instagram上分享了布鲁斯·威利斯被诊断出患有失语症的消息后，艾玛·海明开始用一些老照片和视频，带领粉丝们重温丈夫最快乐的时光。其中一段是威利斯和诱惑乐队（The Temptations）共同演唱的《Under the Boardwalk》。这段视频提醒大家，威利斯曾在1987年追求音乐事业，并发行了一张名为《The Return of Bruno》的专辑。

当她在Instagram Story上分享这段视频时，海明写道：“他是我的北极星。”她在另一篇帖子中进一步阐述了这种感受，并透露……她一直很欣赏丈夫的无畏精神。“我的意思是，要和诱惑乐队（The Temptations）一起担任主唱，需要多么超凡的自信啊！”她写道。威利斯让这些音乐传奇人物担任伴唱，同时展现自己的歌唱才华，这无疑也让他面临潜在的批评。但在海明看来，他的这种大胆让他更加令人敬佩。“这个人一直被他的热情所驱使，从不让任何反对的声音阻止他去做任何事，”她写道，“正因如此，我对他充满了敬意、爱和钦佩。”

2022年8月，海明透露，威利斯对音乐的热爱并没有因为他的病情而减弱。她分享了一段视频，视频中这位演员正在和鲁默·威利斯的男友、音乐家德里克·理查德·托马斯一起即兴演奏，展示他的口琴技艺。

艾玛·海明专注于支持布鲁斯·威利斯

在公开布鲁斯·威利斯的病情后，艾玛·海明一直小心翼翼地尊重他的隐私，但她仍然……她决定不让粉丝们对他的健康状况一无所知。在2023年2月的一篇Instagram帖子中，她向粉丝们保证，她正在寻求最好的帮助，包括痴呆症护理专家蒂帕·斯诺（Teepa Snow）的专业知识。“她是一位充满爱心、富有同情心且技艺精湛的领导者，在这个领域里，她以纯粹的同理心来处理一切，”海明写道。

据梅奥诊所称，威利斯被诊断出的额颞叶痴呆症会导致说话和沟通困难、性格改变以及强迫行为。斯诺在回复海明的Instagram帖子时写道：“额颞叶痴呆症从来都不是一件容易的事，但只要有合适的护理和支持，就真的可以继续生活下去。”她还赞扬了海明确保威利斯的居住环境满足他的需求。

截至2023年3月，威利斯和海明居住在加利福尼亚州布伦特伍德公园。据《第六页》报道，他们开始出售一些其他房产，以应对威利斯退休后收入减少的情况。这些房产包括他们在……的度假屋。特克斯和凯科斯群岛、他们在纽约州威彻斯特的住所，以及他们在爱达荷州太阳谷的牧场。“威利斯知道他最终不需要那么多房产和公寓来往，他只需要生活在一个安全的环境中，被家人围绕，”一位消息人士在谈到这笔价值6500万美元的房产交易时说道。

艾玛·海明回击批评者和狗仔队

艾玛·海明用犀利的反击回击了那些攻击她和她丈夫的喷子。她从高手那里学到了反击的艺术，正如她回怼那些莫名其妙地抱怨她分享悲伤感受的批评者的方式所展现的那样。

在她的Instagram故事中，海明分享了一张恶毒评论的截图，该评论暗示她应该停止在社交媒体上分享自己的痛苦经历。“当你嫁给一个比你大几十岁的老头时，你就成了他的照顾者。” “这就是你当初签的合同，接受现实吧。”信中写道。海明反击道：“用伟大、富有哲理、洞察力敏锐的布鲁斯·威利斯的话来说……‘啊，去他妈的。’”她还被指控利用丈夫的额颞叶痴呆症（FTD）诊断来博取关注，她在2023年3月的一段Instagram视频中分享了自己对此事的看法。“我

我永远都会支持我的丈夫。 “趁此机会，我还要提高人们对额颞叶痴呆症（FTD）的认识，以及对那些默默奉献的护理人员的关注，”她说道。“所以，敬请期待，因为我可不是来玩的。”

海明还在Instagram Reels上抨击了狗仔队。当威利斯和朋友们外出喝咖啡时，摄影师们急于拍摄他说话的画面，并开始对他大喊大叫。海明谴责他们缺乏同情心和尊重，并平静地恳求道：“给他一些空间。”

艾玛·海明回应了关于他们生活的猜测

2023年3月，《Radar》杂志声称黛米·摩尔已经搬进了布鲁斯·威利斯和艾玛·海明的住所，为她的前夫和他的妻子提供支持。“黛米一直是这个家庭的支柱，她决心确保布鲁斯在世的每一天都充满爱，”一位消息人士告诉该杂志。但尽管布鲁斯和他的妻子可能与他的前妻关系友好，海明否认了这一说法。谣言说他们都住在一起。“咱们赶紧辟谣吧。这太蠢了。求求你们别再说了。”她在Instagram Story上写道。

在应对网络喷子、骚扰摄影师和虚假谣言的压力下，布鲁斯和摩尔的重组家庭在2022年12月迎来了一个喜讯：鲁默·威利斯宣布她和男友德里克·理查德·托马斯即将迎来他们的第一个孩子。这个喜讯意味着布鲁斯和摩尔很快就要荣升祖父母了。“他很高兴要当爷爷了，”一位知情人士告诉《人物》杂志。“他喜欢大家庭。”

无论未来如何，威利斯-摩尔一家都将永远铭记布鲁斯的至理名言。“秘诀就在这里：别把你在世上的时光视为理所当然。”他在2007年接受瑞安·西克雷斯特的“On Air with Ryan Seacrest”节目采访时说道（引自《美国周刊》）。“死亡在等待着我们所有人。”唯一的办法就是走出去，好好过好每一天。

INSIDE BRUCE WILLIS' RELATIONSHIP WITH WIFE EMMA HEMING
By Treva Bowdoin    March 14, 2023 

https://www.nickiswift.com/171618/inside-bruce-willis-relationship-with-wife-emma-heming/​ 

For years, Bruce Willis was one of Hollywood's go-to guys for characters who are fierce fighters and faithful lovers. If he's falling in love in a film, his relationship will inevitably face a great deal of adversity, whether he's on the run with the most important being on the planet in "The Fifth Element," longing for the love of a woman he just can't reach in "The Sixth Sense," or trying to rescue his estranged wife from terrorists in "Die Hard."

During his 2018 Comedy Central Roast, Bruce referenced his impressive action credentials. "Nothing can keep me down," he said. "I've been attacked by terrorists, asteroids, film critics, music critics, restaurant critics, divorce lawyers, male pattern baldness, and none of it, none of it stopped me, because I am still Bruce f***ing Willis." By contrast, his first marriage was a cakewalk — until those divorce lawyers came calling. After Bruce tied the knot with "G.I. Jane" star Demi Moore in 1987, the Hollywood power couple stayed together for 13 years and celebrated the births of three children: daughters Rumer Willis, Scout Willis, and Tallulah Willis. The amicable exes finalized their divorce in 2000. "I still love Demi. ... We're probably as close now as we ever were," Bruce told Rolling Stone that same year.

Eventually, a new love interest entered the picture: model Emma Heming. Wedding bells, babies, and the blending of two loving families followed, but due to a devastating diagnosis, this devoted couple's love story is bittersweet.

Bruce Willis had to wait to date Emma Heming

Emma Heming's birthplace is Malta, but after her parents split, she and her mother packed their bags and headed to London to build a new life for themselves. This is where her modeling career began. "In the early '90s, my mom entered me into a modeling competition in London called 'The British Elle Supermodel,' which I won," Heming writes on her website. Soon, she was traveling the globe and strutting down the catwalk in designs by Dior, Valentino, Chanel, and other luxury labels. She eventually settled down in California with the first man she thought she would marry.

According to W magazine, when Willis first laid eyes on Heming in 2005, she was engaged to Brent Bolthouse, a successful Hollywood nightclub promoter who appeared on "The Hills." Willis was visiting a gym owned by a friend, celebrity fitness guru Gunnar Peterson, when he saw Heming leaving. "I said, 'Gunnar, let me just say one thing to you. Wow! Who is that?'" Willis recalled on "The Late Show" (via Celebitchy).

Willis eventually got acquainted with Heming, but because she had a fiancé, he remained stuck in the uncomfortable ventilation shaft that is the friendzone until Heming and Bolthouse split in 2007. Heming planned on moving to NYC after the breakup, but Willis convinced her to go on a date with him mere days before she left L.A. "Then we fell mad crazy in love," he recalled to W magazine.

The couple's tropical wedding

While Bruce Willis quickly forged an unbreakable bond with Emma Heming, the "Die Hard" star had expected to live free after his divorce from Demi Moore. Heming made him realize what he was missing out on during his stubbornly single era. "I would say, 'I'm alone, but I'm not lonely.' But I was just kidding myself," he admitted to W magazine. "Then I started hanging around Emma, and on a day-to-day basis my life became much happier."

Willis and Heming tied the knot for the first time in March 2009, inviting some of their loved ones to celebrate with them at the property Willis owned on the islands of Turks and Caicos. According to one of the actor's close friends, composer Robert Kraft, the love Willis' three daughters have for him was evident at the wedding reception. "The speeches those girls gave about their dad were brilliantly emotional," Kraft said. Heming later shared an Instagram photo of herself and Willis ugly-crying as they listened to one wedding speech. Moore also scored an invite to the event, as did her husband at the time, "That '70s Show" star Ashton Kutcher. The Twitter-loving lovebirds made sure everyone knew that they had an absolute blast. "Watching my wife steam my suit while wearing a bikini," Kutcher tweeted ahead of the ceremony. "I love God!"

Upon returning to Los Angeles, Willis and Heming celebrated their union a second time with a civil marriage ceremony.

Bruce Willis and Emma Heming share two kids

When Emma Heming met Bruce Willis, his youngest daughter at the time, Tallulah Willis, was already 12 years old. So there was quite the age gap between Mabel Ray Willis and her stepsisters when she joined the family on April 1, 2012. Bruce was a parenting pro by then, and his goal was to raise Mabel to be caring, compassionate, considerate, and, apparently, non-vampiric. "You have to give them a code," he told Candis a few months after Mabel's birth. "Beginning with things like 'Don't bite people!' That then becomes something like 'It's not okay to be mean. Ever.'"

But Bruce Willis was no strict disciplinarian; he also kept his kids entertained by assuming the role of a comedian at home. "They're a pretty captive audience, you know. They can't run away from you even if they don't like your jokes," he quipped in a 2013 interview with That Shelf. "I love to make my kids laugh, and I still do the dumbest things possible to make 'em laugh." On May 5, 2014, he gained another appreciative audience member: daughter Evelyn Penn Willis.

Bruce established his cozy family comedy club in Bedford Hills, New York. Speaking to Elle Decor in 2017, Heming explained why this is where they chose to raise their children during their younger years. "We wanted our kids to be able to have more room and a yard to run in. ... We've made the whole place a kid-friendly zone."

Motherhood inspired Emma Heming's skincare business

After she stopped modeling, Emma Heming had a difficult time deciding on a new career to pursue. But when she experienced motherhood for the first time, she had a lightbulb moment. "I was using coconut oil and loved it and when Mabel was two months old I had this idea for CocoBaba," she told The Local Moms Network. On the CocoBaba website, Heming recalls deciding to give her skincare routine an overhaul after getting pregnant. Being a mom-to-be made her more conscious of what she was putting on her body, and she'd learned about the versatility of all-natural coconut oil from her mother and grandmother. "I'm really prone to stretch marks, yet it got me through two pregnancies stretch-mark free," she writes.

What Heming didn't like about the oil was the inconvenient container it came in. This inspired her to create her own line of products specifically designed for pregnant women to use on their changing skin. In addition to making packaging improvements, she consulted experts who created formulas that were less greasy than the oil alone. It was also of utmost importance to her that the products only contained safe ingredients.

While Heming cares deeply about her business, it's not her biggest passion in life by a long shot. "I want to focus on the things that bring me joy — my family, making sure I'm healthy and feeling good. Then beneath that comes business," she told The Local Moms Network.

Emma Willis gets along well with Demi Moore

Emma Heming told W magazine that being in a relationship with someone with kids was new territory for her, but Bruce Willis' daughters welcomed her with open arms — as did Demi Moore. "I've been really blessed because from day one it's been comfortable and fun," Heming said. It helped that Willis and his ex-wife remained on good terms after their split; Moore has even joined Bruce and Heming on a few fun family vacations. "If everybody is okay with it — and you're not just faking it — we all win," Bruce told Men's Journal of their friendship.

Heming told The Local Moms Network that she's heard her fair share of horror stories about resentful ex-wives who make living in harmony as a blended family an impossibility. But Moore made sure that she didn't have to worry about discord or division. "She welcomed me into her family like I welcomed her into ours," Heming told Us Weekly. "I have so much respect for how Bruce and Demi worked through their divorce to be able to put their children first."

Moore returned the love on International Women's Day in 2021. She paid tribute to Heming on Instagram, writing, "Her drive, determination and passion is uplifting and the woman that she is absolutely inspiring." Moore revealed that she considers Heming family, and the pair certainly looked the part in a 2022 holiday photo with Bruce and their daughters.

Demi Moore attended their 10-year vow renewal

When Emma Heming and Bruce Willis celebrated a decade of marriage in 2019, they decided to mark the milestone with a vow renewal ceremony. Their daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, were given important roles to play at the event. "It was really for them, to be able to be flower girls, for them to be a part of something that feels kind of monumental," Heming told Us Weekly. Willis' daughters from his previous marriage were in attendance, as was Demi Moore herself. "It was important for her to be there. She was at our first wedding," said Heming. "I loved having her there again. I wouldn't do it without her."

Heming revealed that Mabel and Evelyn were excited not just because they'd been asked to participate in the ceremony, but because they got to spend time with their stepsisters. "The young ones just adore them. We're moving back west, actually, so that we can be closer to them," Heming said. While speaking to The Local Moms Network, she revealed that she'd developed her own special bond with her stepdaughters. "Now they're women, and I can have these incredible conversations with them. Those relationships have really evolved over time," she said.

A few months after Moore helped Willis and Heming celebrate their 10-year wedding anniversary, she invited them to the launch party for her memoir, "Inside Out." At the event, the lovebirds posed for a photo with Moore, Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout.

Emma Heming was in two of her husband's movies

After Emma Heming and Bruce Willis went public with their relationship in 2009, a source told Page Six that they first met when Willis asked for models to be cast as minor characters in his 2007 thriller "Perfect Stranger." The insider also claimed that Willis wanted to be present for their auditions, saying, "I guess he needed a date." Per the report, Willis began dating Heming and another model simultaneously after watching their auditions. But Willis insisted that the first time he met Heming was at a gym. While Heming did score a small part in "Perfect Stranger," the couple told W magazine that they'd already become friends by then.

According to Willis, one thing he liked about Heming was that she wasn't pursuing an acting career. However, she did later appear alongside him in the 2013 action-comedy "Red 2." Her character, an administrative employee at an FBI facility, receives a compliment on her blazer — and is shot and killed moments later.

During a press conference for "Red 2," Willis bragged (via Us Weekly), "I get to kiss two women in this film, which I seldom get to do in some of my other work." He told the media that Heming was totally fine with his on-screen lip-locks with co-stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mary-Louise Parker, although he apparently felt the need to defend those steamy scenes before shooting them. "You say, 'Look, it's right in the script,'" he said.

The Willis-Moore clan's crazy quarantine story

At the start of the pandemic, Demi Moore, Bruce Willis, and Emma Heming decided that the best place for their blended family to quarantine together was at Moore's Idaho estate. But when Moore shared an Instagram photo of her lockdown crew posing together in matching green-and-white striped PJs, a few key members were missing: Heming and her daughters.

In an April 2020 appearance on the "Dopey" podcast, Scout Willis explained the trio's absence. She revealed that her stepsister Evelyn was at a park when she came across a hypodermic needle on the ground and made a mistake that had to be nightmarish for her parents. "She actually tried to poke her shoe with it and poked her foot," Scout recalled. Heming had to take her daughter to the doctor to get tested for the whole host of horrible things that can lurk on the tip of a discarded syringe. While awaiting the test results, Heming decided to stay in Los Angeles with both of her daughters.

By early May 2020, Heming and the girls had made it to Idaho. She shared an Instagram video of Evelyn learning to ride a bike without training wheels as her dad and older sisters cheered her on. Heming celebrated her birthday the following month. She posted a pic of Moore preparing to light the candles on her birthday cake during a family picnic and captioned it, "It really was a happy birthday for me."

The funny way Emma Heming revealed that her marriage isn't picture-perfect

When Bruce Willis was still basking in the warm glow of newlywed bliss in 2009, he told W magazine that his intense feelings for Emma Heming made it difficult for him to go to work saving the world from asteroids, aliens, etc. "I don't want to be away from Emma at all. It's the most singular relationship I've ever had in my life," he gushed. But when he celebrated his 12th wedding anniversary with Heming in 2021, she confessed to sometimes wishing that she and the "Armageddon" actor could get some real-life astronaut training. "Boy I sure do love this guy to the moon and back! Even though there's been times I would have loved to take him to the moon, drop him off, and come back solo!" she joked on Instagram.

Luckily, Willis can handle a good-natured ribbing. He and Heming watched his ex-wife, Demi Moore, joke about her failed marriage to the action star during his Comedy Central Roast in 2018, and Heming told Closer Weekly that one of the things she loves most about Willis is his sense of humor. His playful side is also a hit with their kids. "I like that he likes to have fun. He's the one out there making snowman, sledding and swimming," she told The Local Moms Network. "He's fun and active, and I am too — I take them places — but he's the rough and tumble dad."

Emma Heming revealed her husband's aphasia and dementia diagnoses

In a March 2022 Instagram post, Emma Heming shared the sad news that Bruce Willis had aphasia. Per Mayo Clinic, some symptoms of the condition are impaired speech and difficulty following conversations. Those with the disorder may also struggle to read and write. "As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him," Heming wrote. She also assured the movie star's fans that he was surrounded with plenty of love and support, adding, "We are moving through this as a strong family unit."

Watching a loved one experience cognitive decline is never easy, and in August 2022, Heming revealed that she was doing her best to keep herself distracted and busy with hobbies such as painting, gardening, and exercising. But while she appeared happy and focused in a video that showed her performing these activities, she revealed that she was hurting inside. "My grief can be paralyzing but I'm learning how to live along side it," she wrote. "As my step-daughter Scout Willis told me, grief is the deepest and purest form of love. I hope you find some comfort in that too."

Sadly, Heming had another devastating update to share in February 2023. "Bruce's condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD)," she wrote. "While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis."

Emma Heming has called Bruce her 'North Star'

After sharing Bruce Willis' aphasia diagnosis on Instagram, Emma Heming started taking her followers on a trip down memory lane with throwback photos and videos of some of her husband's happiest moments. One of them was Willis' and The Temptations' joint performance of "Under the Boardwalk." Her video served as a reminder that Willis pursued a music career in 1987 and released an album titled "The Return of Bruno."

When she shared the video on her Instagram Story, Heming added the words, "He's my North Star." She elaborated on this sentiment in another post, revealing that one thing that she's always loved about her husband is his fearlessness. "I mean what kind of next level confidence does it take to sing lead with The Temptations?" she wrote. Willis was also opening himself up to potential criticism by using the music legends as backup singers while showcasing his own vocal talent, but in Heming's eyes, his audacity makes him even more of an inspiration. "This guy has always been led by his passion and has never let naysayers stop him from, well, anything," she wrote. "And I have so much respect, love and admiration for that man because of it."

In August 2022, Heming revealed that Willis' love of music hadn't been dimmed by his diagnosis. She shared a video of the actor showing off his harmonica skills during a jam session with Rumer Willis' boyfriend, musician Derek Richard Thomas.

Emma Heming is focused on supporting Bruce Willis

While Emma Heming has been careful to respect Bruce Willis' privacy after sharing his diagnoses, she's decided not to leave his fans completely in the dark about his health. In a February 2023 Instagram post, she assured her followers that she was seeking out the best help available, including the expertise of dementia care specialist Teepa Snow. "She's a loving, compassionate and skilled leader in this space who navigates herself with pure empathy," Heming wrote.

The disorder Willis was diagnosed with, frontotemporal dementia, can cause difficulty speaking and communicating, personality changes, and compulsive habits, per Mayo Clinic. In response to Heming's Instagram post, Snow wrote, "Frontal temporal dementia is never easy but with the right programming and support, it truly is possible to continue living life." She also praised Heming for making sure that Willis' living space was meeting his needs.

Willis and Heming were living in Brentwood Park, California, as of March 2023. According to Page Six, they started selling some of their other properties in anticipation of Willis retiring and bringing in less income. These included their vacation home in Turks and Caicos, their Westchester, New York residence, and their ranch in Sun Valley, Idaho. "[Willis] knew that he wouldn't eventually need multiple estates and apartments to travel between, and that he would instead need to live in a safe environment surrounded by his family," a source said of the $65 million in property sales.

Emma Heming admonished critics and the paparazzi

Emma Heming takes down trolls who come for her and her husband with a yippee-ki-yay K.O. She's learned the art of the verbal smackdown from the best, as demonstrated by the way she clapped back at critics who were confoundingly complaining about Heming sharing her thoughts about grief.

On her Instagram Story, Heming shared a screenshot of a cruel comment suggesting that she needed to stop sharing her struggles on social media. "When you marry an old man DECADES older than you are, you become their caregivers. That's what you signed up for deal with it," it read. Heming fired back, "In the words of the great, philosophical, insightful Bruce Willis ... 'Ah, f*** em.'" She was also accused of using her husband's frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis to clout chase, and she shared her thoughts about this in a March 2023 Instagram video. "I'm always going to advocate for my husband. And while I'm at it, I'm going to raise awareness about FTD, and for caregivers, who are unsung heroes out there," she said. "So, watch this space, because I didn't come to play."

Heming also took aim at the paparazzi in an Instagram Reel. When Willis stepped out to grab a cup of coffee with some friends, the photogs got overly eager to film him speaking and started shouting at him. Heming shamed them for showing a lack of compassion and respect and calmly pleaded, "Give him his space."

Emma Heming addressed speculation about their life

In March 2023, Radar claimed that Demi Moore had moved in with Bruce Willis and Emma Heming to serve as a source of support for her ex-husband and his wife. "Demi has been a rock for the family and is determined to make sure every day Bruce has left on earth will be filled with love," a source told the webloid. But while Bruce and his wife might be friendly with his ex, Heming refuted the story that they were all cohabitating. "Let's nip this one in the bud. This is so dumb. Please stop," she wrote on her Instagram Story.

Amid the stress of dealing with internet trolls, invasive photographers, and false gossip, Bruce and Moore's blended family had cause to celebrate in December 2022 when Rumer Willis announced that she and her boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas, were expecting their first child. Their joyful news meant that Bruce and Moore would soon get to celebrate being first-time grandparents. "He is happy about becoming a grandpa," an insider told People. "He loves having a big family."

No matter what the future brings, the Willis-Moore clan will always have Bruce's wise words to guide them. "Here's the trick: Try not to take your time on earth for granted," he said in a 2007 "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" interview (via Us Weekly). "Death waits for us all. The only answer is to get out there and live each day."
