As Bruce Willis battles dementia, his wife, Emma Heming Willis, 45, is speaking out about the idea that his life has \u201cno more joy.\u201dAfter reading what she called a \u201cclickbait article\u201d about her husband\u2019s condition, Emma took to social media to clap back.\u201cThe headline basically says there is no more joy in my husband,\u201d Emma, who has been\u00a0opening up about her emotions on social media, said in a\u00a0video\u00a0posted via her\u00a0Instagram\u00a0on Sunday.\u201cNow, I can just tell you, that is far from the truth. Stop scaring people to think that once they get a diagnosis of some kind of neurocognitive disease that, \u2018That\u2019s it. It\u2019s over. Let\u2019s pack it up. Nothing else to see here. We\u2019re done.\u2019 No, it\u2019s the complete opposite of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>The \u201cDie Hard\u201d actor, 68, took a step back from public life when his family announced that he was\u00a0diagnosed with aphasia. He was later diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in February 2023.\u201cWhile this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,\u201d his loved ones said in a joint statement at the time. \u201cFTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone.\u201dIn a caption next to her\u00a0Instagram video\u00a0on Sunday, Emma wrote, \u201cMy experience is that two things can be true and exist at the same time. Grief and deep love. Sadness and deep connection. Trauma and resilience. I had to get out of my own way to get here but once I arrived, life really started to come together with meaning and I had a true sense of purpose. There is so much beauty and soulfulness in this story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emma Heming Willis slammed \u201cmisinformation.\u201dEmma Heming Willis \/ Instagram<\/span><\/figcaption>\u201cI see headline after headline and blurbs of misinformation. I\u2019m not even talking about my family, I\u2019m used to the craziness of these farfetched headlines and stories. I\u2019m just talking about baseline dementia awareness and what\u2019s being fed to the public. You wonder why anxiety and depression is up in our society,\u201d she continued. \u201cI honestly think part of it has to do with this kind of clickbait, how things are framed and pushed out to us and how we have a split second to take that information in. Man, it\u2019ll do a number on my psyche.\u201dEmma concluded: \u201cTo whom it may concern, please be mindful how you frame your story\u2019s [sic] to the public about dementia and dig deeper.\u201dEmma reportedly met Willis at\u00a0their mutual trainer\u2019s gym\u00a0in 2007, and they got married in 2009. They have two daughters together \u2014 Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9 \u2014 and she\u2019s also stepmother to Willis\u2019 three daughters with his ex-wife Demi Moore, 61: Rumer, 35,\u00a0Scout, 32,\u00a0and\u00a0Tallulah, 29.

So whether they were together or whether they were not, whether my mom had a partner or my dad had a partner, we were always a family,\u201d she said.\u201cSo that when my stepmom came in, when my two little sisters came in, it just meant that our family was growing.
