Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day." It showed the,m n front of a snowy backdrop, smooching on a bridge as Bruce grins while planting a kiss on Emma's cheek.

The upload gained almost 50,000 likes in less than 24 hours, a beautiful memory while the star struggles with his declining health. The snap was taken back in 2010, three years after the loved-up couple first met in 2007, tying the knot back in 2009.

His daughter Tallulah, shared with ex-wife Demi Moore, commented: "Love this," while her sister Rumer wrote: "This is incredible." Clearing up when the photograph was taken, after confusion from fans, Emma clarified: "Many many years ago! I think it was in 2010."
