Emma Heming Willis is marking a meaningful milestone in her life, celebrating nearly two decades of love with her husband, Bruce Willis.

The model and entrepreneur shared the moment with fans on social media, reflecting on the journey that began long before their 2009 wedding.

In a post shared on Dec. 30, Heming Willis marked 18 years since she and the Die Hard star became a couple. 

Alongside a warm photo of the two sitting closely together, she wrote, “18 years ago, he became my boyfriend. With one kiss on the top of my head, time stood still.” 

She added simply, “I’m so lucky to know this kind of love.”

The snap showed the couple seated side by side at what appeared to be a quiet dinner, with Willis planting a gentle kiss on his wife’s cheek as she smiled. 

The moment captured the intimacy and steadiness that has defined their relationship over the years.

Heming Willis, 47, and the 70-year-old actor share two daughters, Mabel Ray, born in 2012, and Evelyn Penn, born in 2014. 

Willis is also father to daughters Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31, whom he shares with ex-wife Demi Moore. 

Despite blending families and navigating busy careers, the couple has often spoken about the importance of togetherness and prioritising family life.

In a past interview, Heming Willis reflected on the early days of their relationship, recalling how she joined Willis and his children on a family trip to Turks and Caicos in 2007. 

“I got to see this other side of Bruce, who was a family man,” she said. “On that trip, I fell for him.”

She also shared that their life together has always been full, busy and joyful, noting that Willis made a point to be present for his children whenever possible. 

“If the girls were swimming in the pool, he’d jump in with his clothes on just to make them laugh,” she said, calling him “the ultimate girl dad.”

As she marked the anniversary, Heming Willis’ message reflected gratitude, stability and enduring love, a quiet celebration of a partnership that has continued to grow through every stage of life.

Isiah Whitlock Jr., known for his roles in “The Wire,” “Veep” and several Spike Lee movies, has died, his manager confirmed to CBS News. He was 71. 

A cause of death was not immediately provided. 

His manager, Brian Liebman, described Whitlock in an Instagram post as a “brilliant actor and even better person.” 

“It is with tremendous sadness that I share the passing of my dear friend and client Isiah Whitlock Jr. If you knew him — you loved him,” Liebman wrote. “A brilliant actor and even better person. May his memory forever be a blessing. Our hearts are so broken. He will be very, very missed.”

Born in Indiana in 1954, Whitlock attended Southwest Minnesota State University and joined the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco after graduating. His first movie appearance was in the 1981 TV movie version of “A Christmas Carol.”

He’s perhaps best known for his role as state Sen. R. Clayton “Clay” Davis on HBO’s “The Wire.” He appeared on all five seasons of the acclaimed crime drama. 

Whitlock was a recurring character in seasons two through four of the HBO comedy “Veep,” playing Defense Secretary George Maddox.

Whitlock was a frequent collaborator of Spike Lee and appeared in several movies, including “25th Hour,” “She Hate Me,” “Red Hook Summer,” “Chi-Raq,” “BlacKkKlansman” and “Da 5 Bloods.”

In a tribute posted to Instagram, Lee wrote, “Today I Learned Of The Passing Of My Dear Beloved Brother ISIAH WHITLOCK. GOD BLESS.”

Whitlock made several appearances in the sketch comedy series “Chappelle’s Show.” On the big screen, he also had roles in Martin Scorsese’s “Goodfellas,” as well as in “Pieces of April,” “Enchanted” and Pixar’s “Cars 3” and “Lightyear.” 

He voiced a character in Pixar’s upcoming animated sci-fi comedy “Hoppers,” slated for release in 2026.

Mark Wright’s mother, Carol, has shared her role as a mother-in-law in a bombshell interview. 

The former TOWIE star and Fool Me Once actress, both 38, tied the knot in 2015 in a lavish ceremony at St Mary’s Church in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

During the latest episode of their family podcast Wright At Home, Carol spoke the heart about her relationship with Michelle.

Reading a letter sent in from a listener, her daughter Jess said: ‘Whenever my mother-in-law comes over she acts like I stole her son.’

Sharing her thoughts on the situation, Carol said: ‘It’s a hard one because everyone’s sons are like, you know, they’re your sons and… a woman comes along and they do take your son.

‘But I’m a bit different because I actually hold back because of that reason. ‘I always think that when the girl comes into our family it’s quite they feel a bit overpowering to so many of us, so I seem to be like I hold back a bit.’ 

At this point Jess also shared that she hated the narrative that her mum was this ‘evil mother-in-law’ because it is far from the truth.

‘It’s nothing like me, I’m totally the opposite,’ Carol explained before admitting that she would step in to ‘protect’ her son, if needed.

It comes after Mark and Michelle celebrated their first Christmas as a family of three with their daughter baby Palma.

The couple welcomed their first child together in March of this year.
