In her Instagram story, the model shared a black-and-white photo of the couple holding hands, with her wedding rings on display and the number 321 tattooed on what appeared to be Bruce’s finger. 

"Love you Emma you are magic 321 and papa he loves you so much," Rumer, Bruce’s daughter, replied to the social media post. 

Tallulah, Bruce’s youngest daughter, added in the comments, "321. I love you guys so much."

After their divorce, Bruce married Emma in 2009 in Turks and Caicos. They married again six days later in Beverly Hills. The couple welcomed daughter Mabel in 2012 and daughter Evelyn in 2014.
