Emma Heming Willis reminisced on renewing her wedding vows with husband Bruce Willis on Tuesday as they celebrate their 14th wedding anniversary… amid Bruce’s battles with dementia.
The 68-year-old action icon and his 44-year-old first tied the knot exactly 14 years ago – March 21, 2009 – with Heming Willis revealing that a friend left her a bouquet of flowers to celebrate anniversary earlier today.
She also returned to Instagram on Tuesday afternoon, sharing a touching throwback video from exactly four years ago in 2019, when she renewed her wedding vows with Bruce on their 10th anniversary in a touching ceremony.
The video featured Bruce and Emma’s two children Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn serving as flower girls, while Bruce’s daughters with Demi Moore, Scout and Rumer, singing and playing guitar at the ceremony.
The video also showed Stephen Eads performing the ceremony, with Demi Moore capturing the video she shared on Tuesday.

Friendship: Earlier on Tuesday, she shared a heartwarming story about how a friend brightened her day with an act of kindness
‘In passing at a school event for our children, I mentioned to my friend that our anniversary was tomorrow. Cut to, I get a text from my friend later that day that said she left “a little something” for me at my door. It was this sweet bouquet of flowers (pictured) with a note that said Happy Anniversary amongst other things,’ she added.
Emma also opened up about struggling with her husband’s condition, after he was diagnosed with aphasia in late March 2022, and it was revealed in February 2023 he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
‘It got me thinking about how hard these types of “special occasions” can be on caregivers. When usually our person would acknowledge the event, now their changing brains just can’t. And that is what it is,’ she added in the post.
‘So my point is this. If you know someone that is looking after someone else, don’t ask what you can do, just do,’ Emma added.
‘This random act of kindness will honestly stay with me for a long time. I love you Juliya. You singlehandedly made this day special for us,’ Emma concluded, with the hashtags #randomactsofkindness #gratitude #friendship.
Just two days earlier, Emma and the whole family celebrated Bruce’s 68th birthday with a new video.
‘He is pure love. He is so loved. And I’ll be loving him always. Happy Birthday my sweet,’ Emma began.
‘My birthday wish for Bruce is that you continue to keep him in your prayers and highest vibrations because his sensitive Pisces soul will feel it. Thank you so much for loving and caring for him too,’ she added.
