I&#8217;m so lucky to know this kind of love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The couple have daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, together, while Bruce also has Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and 31-year-old Tallulah with ex-wife Demi Moore, who he was married to from 1987 to 2000.<\/p>\n<p>\nIn October 2023, Emma revealed her husband had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, and she has continued to be open about how their lives have changed.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe recently explained that the Christmas season is challenging because he loved being at the &#8220;centre&#8221; of the celebrations in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe wrote in an essay on her website: &#8220;For me, the holidays carry memories of Bruce being at the centre of it all.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;He loved this time of year &#8211; the energy, family time, the traditions. He was the pancake-maker, the get-out-in-the-snow-with-the-kids guy, the steady presence moving through the house as the day unfolded.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;There was comfort in the routine of knowing exactly how the day would go.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Dementia doesn&#8217;t erase those memories (but) it does create space between then and now. And that space can ache.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile she has to deal with &#8220;grief&#8221; hitting her in different ways, she has also learnt to &#8220;adapt&#8221; the family&#8217;s celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained: &#8220;This holiday season, our family will still unwrap gifts and sit together at breakfast. But instead of Bruce making our favourite pancakes, I will.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;We&#8217;ll put on a holiday movie. There will be laughter and cuddles. And there will almost certainly be tears because we can grieve and make room for joy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/bruce-willis-wife-emma-heming-willis-feels-lucky-after-18-years-together-1435282.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>31 December 2025 Emma Heming Willis feels &#8220;so lucky&#8221; 18 years after Bruce Willis &#8220;became her boyfriend&#8221;.
