Bruce Willis’ Wife Emma Heming Opens Up About Their Life Amid Dementia Battle

Just days after celebrating Bruce Willis‘ 69th birthday, the Die Hard star’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, has shared a sweet photo to mark their 15th wedding anniversary.

The British model took to Instagram on Thursday, March 21, where she posted an intimate photo which shows her smiling at the camera while Bruce leans in for a kiss. She also wrote a heartfelt message alongside the pic, sharing her love for her husband amid his battle with Frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

“Today marks our 15th wedding anniversary! And today, I can make a choice. I can wallow in sorrow or I can celebrate it,” Emma wrote. “I call this the “remarkable reframe.” What I know is there is so much to celebrate.”

She continued, “Our union and connection is probably stronger than ever. We have two bright, fun and healthy daughters. We have a family unit that is built on mutual respect and admiration. And simply, I just love and adore the man I married. I’m so proud of what we have and continue to create. So, happy crystal anniversary to us!”
