Bruce Willis' wife takes fans behind scenes of vow renewal amid dementia battle

Emma Heming has shared a touching throwback video from her vow renewal with her husband Bruce Willis, after the beloved actor was diagnosed with dementia.

The couple celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary on Tuesday, with 44-year-old Emma taking to Instagram to encourage her fans to "seize every opportunity to unite with family".

Emma and Bruce, 68, renewed their vows as they celebrated their 10th anniversary back in 2019 and their family played a big part in the sweet ceremony.

Sharing the throwback clip, Emma wrote: "On our 10th wedding anniversary we decided to renew our vows in the same place we said 'I do' back in 2009. I’m so happy we did.

"Seize every opportunity to unite and celebrate with family and friends. Those are the moments and beautiful pockets of memories that you get to hold on to for a lifetime.

"And we get to keep those memories safe and alive for the ones that might not be able to."

Emma revealed the special day was filmed by Bruce's ex-wife Demi Moore, with whom he has maintained a close friendship.

Bruce and Demi's daughters Scout and Rumer Willis sang and played guitar at the ceremony.

In the heart-warming video Emma walked down the aisle with her daughters Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn Willis, who she shares with Bruce.

"Thank you for sharing this beautiful video & your continued love story," another commented. A third person added: "This is spectacular. May you carry this moment forever and thank you for sharing such a beautiful intimate moment."

Their anniversary comes after the family celebrated Bruce's 68th birthday on Sunday.

"Mable's birthday is coming up; She's turning 11. Evelyn will be turning nine. And then the birth of Demi and Bruce's first grandchild – my step-grandchild – which we're so excited about.

"So, so many fun things to look forward to. So many things to be grateful for," she added.
