Bruce Willis was recently spotted on a rare outing as he grapples with his dementia diagnosis. The Hollywood legend was observed riding in the passenger seat of a vehicle driven by an assistant in Sherman Oaks, California. Seated in the vehicle, the 69-year-old actor appeared lost in thought, dressed in a dark zipped jumper with a red top underneath.
Meanwhile, Willis’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, has been reflecting on their relationship and how they first met. Emma, 45, who married the iconic actor in 2009, took to social media to share their love story. She recounted how they initially crossed paths in 2007, revealing that fitness expert Gunnar Peterson, the first male guest on her Make Time podcast, was instrumental in their introduction.
Emma previously admitted her surprise at Willis’s charm and humor when they first met. In a joint interview with PEOPLE in 2020, she recalled being instantly charmed by him, while Bruce humorously confessed he was already smitten with her.
The couple, who share two children together, Mabel (born in 2012) and Evelyn (born in 2014), also have three older children from Bruce’s previous marriage to Demi Moore; Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout.
Recently, Rumer shared a nostalgic clip of her father showcasing his musical talents, performing with The Temptations during a 1987 Top of the Pops appearance, singing their hit song “Under The Boardwalk.”
Bruce’s friend and the creator of the 1980s comedy series “Moonlighting,” Glen Gordon Caron, provided insight into the actor’s life with dementia, revealing that Willis often recognizes him for the first few minutes but may struggle with verbal communication.
