Bruce Willis' Wife Gives Heartbreaking Update About Their Future
Bruce Willis's wife Emma Heming Willis has given a heartbreaking update about their future.
During Willis's much-publicized journey with dementia, Heming Willis has periodically given the public a window into the family's support for the actor.
She expresses her love for him on Instagram, and occasionally, a photo emerges showing Willis.
Now she's given a heartwrenching description of the couple's shock when they learned the news.
'On the day Bruce got his diagnosis, we left the doctor's office with a pamphlet and a hollow goodbye. No plan, no guidance, no hope, just shock,' she said in Las Vegas at the Women's Alzheimer's Movement Forum on May 26, according to People.
'The future we imagined simply vanished, and I was left trying to hold my family together, raise our two young daughters, and care for the man I love while navigating a disease I barely understood," Willis's wife said, People reported.
In 2023, Willis' family released a statement describing his condition. "Since we announced Bruce's diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce's condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis," the statement says.
'I felt lost, isolated and scared,' Heming Willis continued, according to People. 'What I needed in that moment at that appointment wasn't just medical information. I needed someone to look me in the eye and say, 'This feels impossible right now, but you will find your footing. You will survive this and you will grow because of it.' '
On March 19, Heming Willis posted a tribute to Willis on Instagram. "It's Bruce's birthday, and if there's one thing I know, it's that there's no greater fan than a Bruce fan. So flood him with all the love today, he will feel it, I swear he will. You are one powerful bunch. I love how you rally for him, and I'm so grateful that he has you," she wrote.Bruce Willis' Wife Gives Heartbreaking Update About Their Future first appeared on Men's Journal on May 30, 2025

Olympian's tragic loss fuels NRL switch with Dragons
Nathan Lawson reckoned he had 80 family members and friends crammed into the grandstand at Jubilee Oval as the two-time Olympian made his NRL debut. But there was one person missing on Friday as the rugby sevens convert got his first taste of first grade action on the left wing in St George Illawarra's 20-6 win over Newcastle. Late last year, just before he was about to embark on one of his final sevens tour events - and weeks out from switching codes and landing at the Dragons - Lawson received the news that his mother, Karen, had died. "In December, we lost mum, that was hard, it was a week before I was meant to come down to Dragons," Lawson said. "So it meant a lot to me that all the boys and everyone at the club, who I didn't even know, went out of their way to support me. "For that to happen and for them to be so welcoming to me meant a lot. "She was my biggest supporter and would do anything to come watch me play. "She would travel across the world to watch me play so to be able to get a good win and make my debut, I'm sure she's up there very happy." To give an indication of Lawson's standing in the shortened format of rugby union, he was named Australia's sevens player of 2024 and was picked in the World Rugby team of the year. View this post on Instagram A post shared by St George Illawarra Dragons (@nrl_dragons) And while he has played for Australia at Olympics in Tokyo and Paris - and everywhere in between on the whistle-stop sevens circuit - he was a bag of nerves as he drove to Kogarah. "It was a long day for me thinking about every possibility of what could happen," Lawson said. "I was very happy to get out there and get my first carry under the belt. "The biggest thing for me is that I had all my friends and family there, I've played so many games across the world, and you don't get your family there." Lawson didn't even play league as a junior and has spent the first half of 2025 in NSW Cup. But he acquitted himself admirably when he stepped up into the NRL, making one eye-catching linebreak that had the Dragons fans out of their seats. He is likely to drop out of the Dragons' side for next week's clash with the Dolphins as winger Christian Tuipulotu nears a return to fitness from a hamstring injury. "I understand how competitive this sport is and we've got some unbelievable players at this club," Lawson added. "If that means I play (NSW) Cup for the rest of the year, I'm more than happy to do it." Meanwhile, the Dragons confirmed on Monday that back-rower Jaydn Su'A will miss this weekend's clash with the Dolphins with a low-grade ankle sprain.

Hailee Steinfeld Walks Down the Aisle to Marry Josh Allen in Gorgeous California Wedding
Hailee Steinfeld was photographed walking down the aisle to marry Josh Allen at their California wedding on Saturday, May 31 The actress wore a classic white strapless gown, veil and opera gloves to tie the knot with the Buffalo Bills quarterback The couple got engaged in a surprise proposal in Malibu, California, in November 2024While Josh Allen is usually the one throwing, this time he's making the ultimate catch! Actress Hailee Steinfeld was photographed walking down the aisle to marry the Buffalo Bills quarterback, 29, at their California wedding on Saturday, May 31. In photos of the nuptials, the bride can be seen wearing a white strapless wedding gown, accessorized with a long tulle veil and opera gloves. She styled her hair in a classic updo. The couple — who were first linked in May 2023 and debuted their relationship on Instagram in July 2024 — announced their engagement back in November. They shared the news via a joint Instagram post at the time, featuring a photo of the NFL player down on one knee in front of the Dickinson star, 28. From the looks of it, Allen went all out for the waterfront proposal, setting up a stunning, rose-adorned arch and dozens of candles. The pair captioned the post with the date of their engagement — Nov. 22 — and added two infinity symbols. Following the news that Allen had popped the question, a source told PEOPLE that the pair's families "were thrilled" that they had taken this next step in their relationship. "They've been head over heels from the start," the insider added. Steinfeld later shared details of the romantic proposal in a cover story for Who What Wear published on Feb. 19. She told the outlet that Allen caught her completely by surprise. When asked if she had any suspicions leading up to the proposal, she replied, "Oh my God, no! You talk to your girlfriends about that, right, where you're like, 'I just don't want to know.' " She said the romantic moment unfolded during a trip to Malibu, Calif., which she described as her "happy place." "It was magical," she said of the proposal. "That's the word."

"I'm so grateful that he did it the way he did so that I looked good, and we have these photos that we'll have and cherish for the rest of our lives that I'm not looking at being like, 'What was I wearing?' " the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse star joked to Who What Wear. In February, Allen and Steinfeld made their red carpet debut as a couple when they stepped out to the 14th Annual NFL Honors in New Orleans. During the ceremony, when Allen was named the league's 2025 Most Valuable Player, the pair shared a sweet kiss before the athlete went up to collect his trophy. In his acceptance speech, Allen gave a little shout-out to Steinfeld, telling her, "You've been my rock, you're my best friend. I would not be standing on the stage if it weren't for you."
