Emma Heming Willis paid a moving Father’s Day tribute to her husband, Bruce Willis, and all fathers facing health challenges. In a heartfelt Instagram post on Sunday, she shared a photo with Bruce and her daughters, Evelyn, 11, and Mabel, 13, reflecting on the resilience and unconditional love he demonstrates.
“Happy Father’s Day to all the dads living with disability or disease,” she wrote. She acknowledged the difficulty of such occasions, admitting her profound sadness and wishing for a different reality for her family. However, she emphasized acceptance and finding strength in the present moment.
“Love deepens. It adapts.
It stays, even when everything else changes,” she shared, highlighting the enduring power of love amidst Bruce’s battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This progressive neurodegenerative disease affects behavior, language, and cognitive function.
It was diagnosed in February 2023, following an initial diagnosis of aphasia in March 2022.
The family, including Bruce’s three daughters with ex-wife Demi Moore, continues to offer unwavering support.
