• Cinema Bruce Willis, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia

Bruce Willis' wife, model Emma Heming, 44, couldn't help but tear up as she celebrated the 68th birthday of her husband, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, who has removed the protagonist of The Glass Jungle from the cinema about a year ago.

The model already shared in February her desolation for the health problems of her partner, in a joint statement signed with the rest of the family.

This Sunday, on the occasion of the actor's birthday this Sunday 19, Heming reveals his sadness as he approaches 70 years, in a reel published on his Instagram account.

At Willis' birthday celebration is his first wife, Demi Moore, 60, with whom he had three daughters Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 29.

"Today is my husband's birthday. I started the morning crying. As you can see from my swollen eyes and my nose full of snot.

I think it's important that you see all sides of this situation.

I always get this message or people always tell me, "Oh! You are so strong, I don't know how you do it." I have no choice. I wish I had it but I'm also educating my two daughters." Emma Heming had two daughters with Bruce: Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8.

"So sometimes in our lives we have to put on our best clothes and get to it. And that's what I'm doing.

But I have moments of sadness every day, pain every day and today I'm feeling that sadness on his birthday."

In another video he added that he is gathering video of Bruce Willis and confesses the pain of viewing those images. "I don't know why I do it because the videos are like a knife in my heart."

"Since we announced that Bruce had been diagnosed with aphasia in the spring of 2022, his condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia, known as FTD," detailed the February statement signed by the actor's family, retired from acting.

"Our family wanted to begin by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce's original diagnosis," read the joint statement from his ex-wife Demi Moore, Emma and their five children — two of whom he has with the model.
