Emma Heming refuted the claim that she is using her husband's diagnosis, Bruce Willis, for her own "five minutes of fame."
Heming, who has been married to the 'Die Hard' actor since 2009, has made it her mission to raise awareness for his condition after learning that his struggle with aphasia has progressed to frontotemporal dementia.
Bruce Willis' Dementia
Heming pledged to "raise awareness" about the disease and "for caregivers, who are unsung heroes." Emma Heming vowed to spare no effort to bring attention to her husband's condition.
Per Page Six, in a lengthy statement released last month, Bruce Willis' family revealed that his condition has worsened. The family stated on the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration website, "While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis."
The couple has two children: Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8. After being diagnosed with aphasia - a condition that can impair a person's ability to speak, write, and comprehend verbal and written language - the actor's family announced in March 2022 that he would be retiring from acting.
Heming wrote at the time that she was coping with "paralyzing" grief, adding, "I'm learning how to live alongside it."
The couple has two daughters, Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8, while he has three daughters from his 1987-2000 marriage to Moore: Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 29.
Heming posted a brief video of herself on Instagram on Wednesday, in which she remarked, "I just saw something about me getting my "five minutes," which is great because it means you're listening. So, I'm going to take my five minutes and I'm going to turn it into ten because I'm always going to advocate for my husband."
Willis' daughter Scout commented in a post saying, "HELL YES! I am so so proud of you!"
