Emma Heming Willis has been open about the ups and downs of supporting her husband, Bruce Willis, on his health journey following his diagnosis with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.
“This was the summer of self-discovery — finding new hobbies, going out of my comfort zone and staying active,” Heming Willis wrote via Instagram in August 2022. “My grief can be paralyzing but I’m learning how to live alongside it. As my step-daughter @scoutlaruewillis told me, grief is the deepest and purest form of love. I hope you find some comfort in that too 💞.”
Heming Willis announced five months earlier that Bruce’s retired from acting after he was diagnosed with the language disorder. “To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities,” a March 2022 statement signed by Heming Willis, along with Bruce’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, and his five daughters: Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn. “As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”
Bruce’s condition progressed into frontotemporal dementia (FTD) the next year.
