When it comes to top-notch actors in Hollywood, Bruce Willis is a name that many people would put on that list. The retired actor is most famous for his roles in action films, but he has shown to have quite the diverse set of talents, appearing in films and television shows in a variety of genres. On top of that, Willis is also adored for his amazing qualities as a husband and father.

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

In his teens, Willis discovered his passion for acting and began participating in his high school’s dramatic arts program. He later moved to New York City and appeared in a few off-Broadway plays before finally finding his footing in the world of television and film.

He had his breakthrough in 1985 with the TV series “Moonlighting,” and has since appeared in over 70 films. While he is recognized for his work as an action star, Willis has also shown that his talents span a variety of genres. Some of his most loved films include “Pulp Fiction,” “The Sixth Sense” and “Die Hard.”

But while Willis is loved by many as a former actor, he is also loved by his wife, Emma Heming. Despite their 23-year age gap, the two have a beautiful relationship, having tied the knot back in 2009, and have continued to grow their family and share their love with the world.

Willis is no stranger to having his personal life in the spotlight. He was famously married to actress Demi Moore from 1987 to 2000 and had three children together: Rumer, Scout and Tallulah. Despite their split, Willis and Moore remained friends and are still close to this day.

In fact, Willis has stayed so close with his former wife that she has even become great friends with his current wife, Heming. Willis and Heming tied the knot back in 2009 and had a ceremony to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary in March 2019. The happy couple was sure to send out an invitation to Moore, who gladly accepted.

Speaking with Us Weekly about her friendship with Moore, Heming said, “She welcomed me into her family like I welcomed her into ours. Again, I have so much respect for her.” She added, “I have so much respect for how Bruce and Demi worked through their divorce to be able to put their children first. I learned so much from that and grew so much from watching that. It was important for her to be there. She was at our first wedding. I loved having her there again. I wouldn’t do it without her.”

Heming also talked about how important respect is in her relationship with Willis. “I think we’ve always had a lot of respect for each other, which has really helped build a great foundation,” she said. “He makes me laugh. He’s funny and he’s smart, and nuts, and always keeps me on my toes, so it’s fun.”

Many fans still marvel at the beginning of the happy couple’s love story. According to Willis, it only took one date for the two to fall madly in love with each other. “We went on one date, on the Friday before Emma was getting ready to move back to New York, and then we fell mad crazy in love,” he revealed to W Magazine.

Willis added, “When you think about where are you going to find that big love of your life, you seldom think it’s someone you already know. You think it’s someone you’re yet to meet.”  The couple have since built a beautiful family together. They welcomed their first daughter, Mabel, in April 2012, and their second daughter, Evelyn, in May 2014.

Bruce Willis is definitely proof that when it comes to finding the one, age is nothing but a number, having met Heming at the age of 54. Even more remarkable, Heming is 23 years younger than Willis. "I don’t want to be away from Emma at all," the doting husband told Closer Weekly in 2017. "It’s the most singular relationship I’ve ever had in my life."

Today, Willis and Heming are still going strong, even as they have been met with difficulties, including Willis’ health issues, which caused him to retire from acting. Still, the pair are staying positive and enjoying spending time together. On Apr. 6, 2022, Heming posted a photo of herself and Willis smiling at each other while enjoying the great outdoors. 

They’ve already been together for more than a decade, and it’s clear they’ll continue to make even more memories together in the years to come.
