How Bruce Willis Found True Love With The Woman Of His Dreams After 52 Years
Bruce Willis had been divorced for seven years when he finally met the love of his life. The action movie stalwart – perhaps best-known for his Die Hard series – hadn’t expected anything like that to happen to him. Indeed, he’d chosen life as a confirmed bachelor for nearly a decade following his split from ex-wife Demi Moore. That all changed, though, when this woman unexpectedly walked into his life.
Almost gave up
Willis himself said he had more or less given up on love by the time he met her. He told W magazine in 2009 how quickly his perspective had shifted. He explained, “I never thought that being with someone else was the answer... Then I started hanging around Emma.” He wasn’t the only one who felt smitten right away.
Instant chemistry
In a joint interview, his future wife told People in December 2020 that she had immediately fallen for Willis, too. She said, “When we first met, I was surprised at how charming and how funny he was – and extremely handsome. That was my first thought of you.” He retorted, “I was already in love with her.”
Complicating factors
The pair did have the odds stacked against them at the start of their courtship. For one thing, she was set to move to New York soon after their first date. Plus, they had a huge age gap – more than 20 years separated them. But they didn’t care, nor did their family members, including Willis’s ex-wife, Moore.
Family celebrations
Instead, his blended family has often come together to celebrate Willis, his new love and their milestones as the years have gone by. Who is the woman who stole the action star’s heart? And how did they find each other? We’ll give you a hint – it’s a far less glamorous place than you’d expect for a Hollywood actor and a model to have met.
