Emma Heming Willis shared a heartfelt Instagram post marking her 17th wedding anniversary with Bruce Willis, acknowledging the emotional complexities of the occasion in light of his dementia diagnosis.
Bruce Willis ' wife Emma Heming Willis used her Instagram platform to mark the couple's anniversary on Sunday. The 46-year-old model and actress — who wed Willis, 69, in March 2009 — posted a single throwback snapshot of the two for the heartfelt post. Bruce and Emma were thigh-deep in the ocean in the silhouetted picture, which showed the sun setting behind them. '17 years of us ❤️,' the mother-of-two began the caption, tagging Turks and Caicos.
It comes as Bruce has been battling dementia, specifically aphasia, since March 2022 when he was officially diagnosed. The note from Emma continued, 'Anniversaries used to bring excitement — now, if I’m honest, they stir up all the feelings, leaving a heaviness in my heart and a pit in my stomach.' Heming Willis candidly wrote in Sunday's post, 'I give myself 30 minutes to sit in the ‘why him, why us,’ to feel the anger and grief. 'Then I shake it off and return to what is. And what is… is unconditional love. I feel blessed to know it, and it’s because of him. I’d do it all over again and again in a heartbeat.' Emma and Bruce share daughters Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10. Earlier this year Emma explained why she has chosen not to shield her husband's diagnosis from their children. Heming told Katie Couric in the October issue of Town & Country Magazine that she has 'never tried to sugarcoat' Willis' illness, noting their daughters have witnessed his decline over the year
