Bruce Willis Wrapped His Arm Around Tallulah on Her Wedding Day as She Rested Her Head on His Shoulder

By

Bruce Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, and public appearances have grown rare. On daughter Tallulah’s wedding day, he was there with one arm around her and the other holding his new son-in-law’s hand.

Bruce Willis showed up for Tallulah Willis’ wedding to Justin Acee, held at the couple’s Idaho home on August 8. A black-and-white image posted to Vogue’s Instagram on August 14 caught the 71-year-old smiling with one arm around his daughter while clutching Justin’s hand, as Justin watched the moment.

Tallulah, 32, is Bruce’s daughter with ex-wife Demi Moore, who pulled off a surprise the couple won’t forget. Coldplay’s Chris Martin opened the ceremony with a live serenade.

“The first line of the song was, ‘Tallulah and Justin, walking down the aisle,'” she told British Vogue in an interview published August 14. “My jaw dropped open, as I have deeply loved Coldplay since I was in middle school.”

Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023 after an earlier aphasia diagnosis. He shares Rumer, 37, and Scout, 35, with Moore, and daughters Mabel, 14, and Evelyn, 12, with wife Emma Heming Willis.
