The US actor Bruce Willis was congratulated on his 69th birthday via Instagram by his wife Emma Heming Willis (45). “Happy birthday, my love,” wrote Heming Willis on Instagram. “He’s a real gentleman. With so much love to give and share. I get to see the real inside of him. And let me tell you, it’s so pure and good.” The British native also published a photo in which Willis can be seen with a baby.

The couple married in 2009 and have two daughters together. Willis, who was born in Idar-Oberstein in Rhineland-Palatinate in 1955 as the son of an American father and a German mother, became a world-famous Hollywood star primarily through action films. Last year, his family announced that Willis had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. When the disease occurs, nerve cells in the brain die.
