Bruce Willis' wife and younger kids had been in Los Angeles after his 8-year-old Mabel had a suspected health emergency.
The lockdown has been a difficult time for families as many have had to separate for weeks now and no one knows for sure how long they will have to live long-distance. However, some people have been able to reunite with their family after weeks and it's a joyous occasion.
Bruce Willis has been isolating with ex-wife Demi Moore and his older daughters, Rumer, 31, Scout, 28, and Tallulah, 26, while his wife Emma Heming and their two young daughters, Mabel, 8, and Evelyn, 6, had been back home. Willis and his family's photos became viral on social media after they posed together in matching pajamas in their Idaho home. There was also much speculation over why he was not isolating with his wife and younger daughters.
According to Daily Mail, his daughter, Scout, revealed, "My stepmom was going to come up here too with my little sisters. [But] my younger sister… [who has] never gotten a talk about not f***ing with hypodermic needles…. she found [needles at a park and] she actually tried to poke her shoe with it and poked her foot. So my stepmom had to be in LA waiting to, like, get the results for taking her to the doctor. My dad came up here early and then travel got crazy and my stepmom stayed in LA with my little sisters."
Emma had been messaging Bruce and his first family while commenting on the fun Instagram posts they had been posting. She told him that she missed him and it seems that their separation is finally over. Bruce, who was 56 when he became a dad for the fourth time, has been enjoying some family time with his older daughters before he was reunited with the youngest ones.
Heming and her daughters have made it to Idaho to be in lockdown together with their family after four weeks apart. The trio made their way to the Idaho home just in time for the youngest Willis daughter's birthday. Evelyn turned six on May 5 and the entire blended brood was together for the occasion.
Heming has shared a video on her Instagram saying, "A big day over here! Not only did the baby of family turn 6, she decided to take those training wheels off #thisis6 #proudfamily" In the video, the Willis siblings, Demi, Emma, and Bruce can be seen cheering for the youngest member of the family while she cycles without training wheels.
The proud dad had said that becoming a father at the age of 56 was "incredible" for him when Mabel was born. "My job is just trying to make my little baby laugh,” he told Mirror UK.
"She sticks her hand in my face and pulls me over by the ear. I’m very sentimental with my children and I indulge them to a very high degree. One of the things that makes becoming a father that much easier for me is that I pretty much stay in shape and I can run and jump and play, and being a father at this point in my life is great. I feel like I have the same amount of love I used to have, if not more. I like getting up early and I like looking after Mabel and it’s just very exciting – it makes me very happy," he said.
As for the rumored differences between Emma and Demi, there aren't any. The two women get along and Demi had also attended Bruce's wedding to Emma and later their vow renewal.
Heming had opened up about the ceremony and said, "It was so much fun having our two young daughters there. It was really for them, to be able to be flower girls, for them to be a part of something that feels kind of monumental,” she explained. “Ten years felt like a big deal and something fun to celebrate,” she told Us Weekly.
