Bruce Willis and ex-wife Demi Moore‘s daughter Tallulah Willis‘ Christmas engagement was a happy moment for the family. After two years of dating, musician Justin Acee surprised his girlfriend when he popped the question. However, the engagement is a bit bittersweet for Tallulah, who wants to ensure that her ailing father will be able to join in the festivities and walk his little girl down the aisle.
It is no secret to Bruce Willis’ fans that the actor’s health continues to decline. As Bruce nears the two-year mark since his 2023 frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, things have changed significantly for the actor and his family.
Due to her father’s rapidly declining condition, Tallulah Willis and her new fiance, Justin Acee, have decided to speed up their wedding plans. Inside sources tell Life & Style that the couple’s decision to marry sooner rather than later was based on Bruce’s current condition.
“Tallulah is on cloud nine. She’s so happy she could share this special moment with her family,” the family insider reveals. “Tallulah and Justin will want to get started on their wedding plans sooner rather than later, mostly because she wants her father to walk her down the aisle,” explains the source. It is very important to Tallulah Willis that Bruce is a part of the wedding.
“I don’t blame her for being terrified to wait too long. It is so heartbreaking to watch this ugly disease take over a family member. I hope he is able to walk her down the aisle,” writes one fan.
