LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Tallulah Willis, the youngest daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, is overjoyed as she prepares to marry the love of her life, musician Justin Acee.

The 30-year-old actress is determined to keep her engagement short, with her primary motivation being her father's declining health.

Tallulah Willis hopes Bruce Willis will be able to escort her to the altar

Bruce Willis, 69, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) following an earlier diagnosis of aphasia in 2022, which led to his retirement from acting.

According to a source who spoke to Life & Style, Tallulah is eager to create cherished memories with her family during this milestone moment.

"Tallulah is on cloud nine. She’s so happy she could share this special moment with her family," the insider revealed. 

The source also noted that Tallulah hopes her father will be well enough to walk her down the aisle.

"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," they added. "Bruce is, by all accounts, aware enough to escort her to the altar."

This isn’t the first time Tallulah has made headlines for her love life.

Back in May 2021, she announced her engagement to her then-partner, Dillon Buss. Tallulah later revealed in a Vogue essay in May 2023 that the relationship ended in June 2022.

Through it all, Tallulah has been open about her personal challenges, even sharing how Acee has supported her in navigating her father’s ongoing health struggles.

Willis family rallies together to support Bruce's FTD battle

The 'Die Hard' actor's family has banded together to support him through his health battle. 

His wife, Emma Heming, has been a vocal advocate for raising awareness about FTD ever since his diagnosis.

In a recent social media post, she wrote, "FTD doesn’t get to write my family’s story—I do. Advocacy has been my lifeline, transforming grief into action. It’s my way of giving FTD the middle finger and making it clear that powerful advocates, care partners, researchers, scientists, medical professionals, and community leaders are coming for it—and I’m right there with them. I’m looking forward to seeing what 2025 has in store for us."
