Despite the challenges they have faced, Emma Heming Willis remains strong and defiant in the face of her husband Bruce Willis' health issues. As they celebrated the New Year, Emma shared a post on Instagram that showed her resilience and determination to take control of their family's story. It has been a tough few years for the Die Hard actor, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023 and retired from Hollywood soon after.
Bruce's loved ones, including his ex-wife Demi Moore and their three daughters, have rallied around him and raised awareness about the neurodegenerative condition. Emma, in particular, has become a powerful advocate for FTD, using her platform to transform her grief into action. In a video set to Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made To Love Her," she can be seen alongside her daughters Mabel and Evelyn, speaking at various talks and discussions about the disease.
But Emma's post was not just a celebration of her advocacy work. It was also a message to FTD that it does not get to write her family's story – she does. She is determined to give the condition the "middle finger" and work alongside others in the community to find a cure and support those affected by it. As one commenter wrote, "Keep slaying, Emma!"
In the past few years, Bruce has also been diagnosed with aphasia and has had to step back from his acting career for the sake of his health. But his family has stood by him, and together they have used their platforms to raise awareness and support others affected by FTD. Emma's efforts have not gone unnoticed, with many praising her for her strength and dedication.
As they celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary earlier this week, Emma shared a poignant update on social media. She reflected on their love story and how it has been affected by Bruce's health issues. While anniversaries used to bring excitement, they now bring a mix of emotions for Emma. But through it all, she remains grateful for the unconditional love she shares with her husband.
The couple first started dating in 2007 and tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Turks and Caicos two years later. Despite the challenges they have faced, Emma would do it all over again in a heartbeat. As she says, "unconditional love... it's because of him." And as their love story continues, Emma remains determined to be a powerful advocate for FTD and support her husband in any way she can.
Through her advocacy work and dedication to her family, Emma has shown that FTD does not define their story. They will continue to write it together, with love as their guiding light. As always, Emma invites others to share their stories and join in the fight against FTD. After all, as she says, "powerful advocates, care partners, researchers, scientists, medical professionals, and community leaders are coming for it – and I'm right there with them."
