Emma Heming leaves fans emotional with heartwarming video of Bruce Willis and youngest daughter
The Die Hard actor is a father to five girls
Emma Heming loves to share the love that she has for her husband Bruce Willis with their adoring fans.
Though the Die Hard actor has retired from acting and retreated from the spotlight since being diagnosed first aphasia and later frontotemporal dementia, his wife often delights fans with sweet odes to him or adorable throwback videos and photos.
The latest is no exception, as it features the youngest of the Willis ladies, Evelyn Penn, who is ten. In addition to the tween, Bruce is also a dad to Rumer, 36, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 30, who he shares with ex-wife and good friend Demi Moore, plus Mabel, his first daughter with Emma.
Over the weekend, Emma took to Instagram and shared a heartwarming throwback video of Bruce, featuring Evelyn, from a previous trip to New York City.
In the sweet clip, Evelyn is sitting atop her dad’s shoulders, and the family is walking around Manhattan’s Upper West Side on a beautiful sunny day. “The best seat in the house,” Emma endearingly wrote in her caption, and fans were quick to take to the comments section under the post and gush over it.
First Scout left behind a string of happy tears emojis as Tallulah wrote: “Love,” and others followed suit with: “Memories can be comforting & painful at the same time. This is so hard to navigate,” and: “Sending you and your family all my love! This is so beautiful!,” as well as: “Sending you and your family love.”

Emma recently opened up to Town & Country about how she has been coping the last couple of years, and how she has approached explaining Bruce’s condition to their daughters. “I’m trying to find that balance between the grief and the sadness that I feel, which can just crack open at any given moment, and finding joy,” she said, and though it was a heartbreaking diagnosis to receive, she noted: “This disease is misdiagnosed, it’s missed, it’s misunderstood, so finally getting to a diagnosis was key so that I could learn what frontotemporal dementia is and I could educate our children.”
“They’ve grown up with Bruce declining over the years. I’m not trying to shield them from it,” she added, and explained: “What I learned from our therapist was that if children ask questions, they’re ready to know the answer. If we could see that Bruce was struggling, I would address it with the kids so they could understand.”
“But this disease is chronic, progressive, and terminal. There is no cure,” she further shared, noting that “obviously, I don’t like to speak about the terminal side of this with them, nor have they asked,” however, “they know that Daddy’s not going to get better.”
