Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, also honored him on the special day. Since his diagnosis, Emma has become a compassionate voice for raising awareness about frontotemporal dementia. In a 2024 interview with Town & Country, she reflected on the early signs of his condition.
“At first, it seemed like a stutter,” she said. “I never imagined it could be dementia.”
Emma described the condition as something that unfolds quietly, making it difficult to pinpoint when certain changes began. Still, through every stage, the Willis family remains united, focusing on love, care, and togetherness.
