Model Celebrates the 17th Wedding Anniversary of the Couple - Bruce Willis's FTD battle and 17 years of love with Emma Heming
Bruce Willis has been living with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) since early 2023. The diagnosis came after an earlier revelation of aphasia in 2022. His family continues to support him while raising awareness about the condition.
This month also marked a personal milestone for the actor and his wife, Emma Heming Willis, who celebrated 17 years of marriage. The couple, who first met in 2007, tied the knot in 2009 and have two daughters together, Mabel and Evelyn.
Bruce Willis first received a diagnosis of aphasia in March 2022. This condition affects speech and language processing. Then, in February 2023, his family confirmed an updated diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The progressive disease impacts communication, behaviour, and cognitive function.
The actor shares five children across his two marriages. His eldest daughters—Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah—are from his marriage to Demi Moore. His two youngest, Mabel and Evelyn, are from his current marriage to Emma Heming Willis.
Emma has taken an active role in supporting her husband and others facing similar challenges. She recently launched the Emma & Bruce Willis Fund for Dementia Research and Caregiver Support. The initiative aims to fund research and provide resources for those caring for dementia patients.
Just days before their anniversary, Bruce turned 71. Emma marked the occasion by sharing a heartfelt photo of the couple on a beach, with Bruce carrying her in his arms. She captioned it, 'I was made to love him. 17 years.' In honour of his birthday, she encouraged followers to donate to the fund or similar organisations dedicated to dementia care.
The family's openness about Willis's condition has brought attention to FTD, a lesser-known but debilitating form of dementia. Their efforts focus on improving support for both patients and their loved ones.
Bruce Willis's journey with FTD has become a public conversation about dementia and caregiving. His family's fund aims to drive research and offer assistance to others in similar situations. Meanwhile, the couple's enduring relationship remains a personal anchor amid the challenges of his diagnosis.
