Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn, the youngest daughters of Bruce Willis, have inherited their father’s impressive height of 6 feet. Born during Bruce’s marriage to Emma Heming Willis, these girls have been impressive in stature since their early teens. In July 2024, Emma shared a touching video that highlighted the sisters’ growth, aged 12 and 10 at the time.
The video features clips of the girls walking in New York, noticeably shorter than the cars nearby. However, it quickly transitions to show their dramatic growth over time. Emma humorously warned viewers, “Don’t blink cause you just might miss it,” in her Instagram post.
In addition to Bruce, the girls gained their height from Emma, who stands at 5 feet 10 inches as a former successful runway model. Emma revealed that her mother encouraged her modeling career, stating, “My mom got me in the business.” She acknowledged a family tradition of modeling, hinting that her daughters may follow the same path due to their impressive height.
Emma Willis discusses Bruce Willis’ diagnosis with her daughters
Despite their young ages, Mabel and Evelyn are aware of their father’s battle with frontotemporal dementia because Emma has been transparent with them. “This disease is misdiagnosed, it’s missed, it’s misunderstood, so getting an accurate diagnosis was crucial. I wanted to educate our children about it,” Emma shared with Town & Country Magazine in October 2024. Emma emphasized that she hasn’t sugarcoated the situation and that her daughters have witnessed Bruce’s decline over the years.
However, Emma has chosen not to discuss some harsher aspects of the illness. “I don’t want to address the terminal nature of this with them,” she remarked, noting that they understand their father’s condition is not going to improve. Emma is dedicated to raising awareness about Bruce’s diagnosis, even while navigating her responsibilities as a mother. In May 2024, she shared on Instagram how much her daughters have influenced her life. “They keep me fun and motivated to make a positive impact in the world. What a gift to share life with these two,” she stated in her Mother’s Day tribute.
