Emma Heming Willis (45), the wife of Hollywood star Bruce Willis (68), who suffers from dementia, shared photos on the anniversary. “16 years with this special man,” the British native wrote on Instagram alongside two photos of her and the star hugging and kissing.
According to industry magazine People, the couple, who married in 2009 and have two daughters together, began dating in December 2007. “My love and admiration for him only continues to grow,” wrote Heming Willis. She also reported in her story that she cried while talking to her friend on the phone on this anniversary day.
In February, the family announced that the former action star had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In September, Heming Willis spoke about her husband’s illness in a television interview. “It’s hard for the person with the diagnosis, it’s hard for the family,” she said on NBC’s “Today” show.
