The family – including the couple’s two young daughters, and Bruce’s other three daughters with former partner, actress Demi Moore – still see flashes of his true personality, Heming Willis noted, as well as the “twinkle in his eye.”
“Not days, but we get moments,” she said. “It’s his laugh, right? He has such a hearty laugh. And sometimes you’ll see that twinkle in his eye, or that smirk, and I just get transported.”
She continued, “And it’s just hard to see, because as quickly as those moments appear, then it goes. It’s hard. But I’m grateful. I’m grateful that my husband is still very much here.”
She was speaking ahead of ABC’s special, Emma & Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey, which airs in the US on Tuesday at 20:00 BST. It will be made available to stream the following day on Disney+ and Hulu.
