Action movie star Bruce Willis has taken the plunge and tied the knot with his lingerie model girlfriend, British Emma Heming, his rep has confirmed for several media outlets in the US. The couple met through common friends and began to date last year, and finally decided to walk down the aisle in a very private ceremony at the actor’s residence in the Caribbean.

Rumors about the wedding ceremony first started circulating earlier last week but, since Willis acknowledged them in no way, they were believed to be nothing but speculation. Now, his rep is confirming that, indeed, Bruce and Emma got married over the weekend in a small, intimate ceremony that saw them say their “I Dos” in the presence of members of the family and close friends.

“The actor’s publicity agency, Rogers & Cowan, says in a statement Sunday that the 54-year-old Willis married Emma Heming in a small, private ceremony at his home in Parrot Cay in the Turks & Caicos Islands.” The Associated Press reports. While this is Bruce Willis’ second marriage, it is a first-time experience for the 30-year-old model. According to reports, Bruce’s first wife, Demi Moore, was also invited at the reception, together with her and the actor’s children, Rumer (20), Scout (17) and Tallulah Belle (14). Demi’s husband, Ashton Kutcher, was also present.

Another celebrity who attended the private ceremony was singer Madonna, it has been said. She and Willis’ first wife, Demi, have a long-standing friendship, but she is also on excellent terms with the groom. Further details of the ceremony have not yet been made public, but more on it and the newlyweds is expected to be unveiled to the media in the days to come.

In the same press statement made by Willis’ publicist, it is also mentioned that the actor and his new wife are also planning a civil ceremony when they return home to California. More on this should be made public then, so keep an eye on this space.
