Bruce Willis’ wife opens up about caring for actor as she turns 50

• Emma Heming Willis celebrated her 50th birthday, reflecting on her journey as a caregiver for her husband, Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023.
• She marked the milestone by sharing a photo and a throwback video of Bruce singing “Happy Birthday” with their daughters, Mabel and Evelyn.
• Heming Willis expressed pride in her role as a wife, mother, care partner, and advocate, highlighting the work of the Emma & Bruce Willis Fund, which she launched in March.
• Her birthday wish is for increased support, resources, and reduced stigma for families affected by dementia, encouraging donations to her fund.
