She is spreading awareness about how to treat people who have dementia. “Please don’t be yelling at my husband, asking how he’s doing," she urged.
Emma Heming Willis is opening up about the challenges of caring for a loved one with dementia. Her husband, Die Hard star Bruce Willis was diagnosed with aphasia which subsequently led him to step away from acting in March 2022. The actor was given a new diagnosis last month: frontotemporal dementia. His wife is looking to spread awareness regarding how to treat people who have dementia while they are in public. Emma Willis has been married to the 67-year-old since 2009 and the couple shares two daughters, Mabel Ray, 10, and Evelyn Penn, 8. He also has three daughters with his ex-wife Demi Moore—Rumer Glenn, 34, Scout LaRue, 32, and Tallulah Belle, 29, reports Insider.
The model and author posted a video on Instagram, opening up about a recent incident where the paparazzi tried to speak to her husband while he met with a group of friends for coffee in Santa Monica. “If you are someone who is looking after someone with dementia, you know how difficult and stressful it can be to get someone out into the world and to navigate them safely, even just to get a cup of coffee,” she said. “It’s clear that there’s still a lot of education that needs to be put forth. So this one is going out to the photographers and the video people that are trying to get those exclusives of my husband out and about. Just keep your space.”
