BRUCE Willis’ wife Emma breaks down in tears as she marks wedding anniversary amid dementia battle
The model posted a duo of sweet images of the pair on Instagram as they enjoyed their time together as she cares for him at home.
Bruce, 68, and Emma, 45, were pictured standing on a path in what looks like an orchard, dressed in casual summer clothing.
In one snap, she could be seen planting a kiss on the Glass actor’s cheek as he gazed into the distance.
In the second snap he wore an oversized khaki shirt as he was hugged by his beaming wife.
She captioned the post: 16 years with this special man. My love and adoration for him only grows
Recently, the star uploaded a video onto her stories where she said that she was on the phone to a ‘really dear girlfriend’, where she admitted she broke down in tears.
She admitted: “It is really important to be able to have someone that you can trust with your feelings instead of just bottling them up and putting your best foot forward and just soldiering through stuff.
“Which I have a tendency to do, holidays and anniversaries are hard.”
Emma added: “But for me this year it has really been about community, building a connection.
“And I just want to say it has been my lifeline and I just want to say thank you for that.
His whole family – which includes his ex-wife Demi Moore – are rallying round Bruce to help with his care.
The actor’s daughter Rumer, 34, previously revealed the news that Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).
In the post on social media, she explained that his condition was sadly “not treatable” and “has progressed.”
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).
“Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”
