Bruce Willis Fans React to Wife's Big Update
Bruce Willis fans are overjoyed to hear the latest news from his wife, Emma Heming Willis. On April 17, she shared an exciting update on Instagram.
"I'm honored to share the cover of my first book, 'The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope and Yourself on the Caregiving Path,'" Heming Willis captioned a post.
"Born from grief, shaped by love, and guided by purpose, this is the book I needed back when Bruce was first diagnosed and I was frozen with fear and uncertainty. This is the book I trust will help the next caregiver. It is filled with support, insight, and the hope needed to navigate this journey," she continued.
Heming Willis has been the primary caregiver for her husband, who was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022. The following year, the Willis family shared the news that the Die Hard actor had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
According to the Mayo Clinic, frontotemporal dementia can affect a person's behavior, their speech, and their overall body movement. Willis, 70, is "not totally verbal" and has a variety of other symptoms caused by the disease.
Fans reacted to the news in the comments section of the post.
"I can't wait to read this! I am just starting my journey of caregiving for my husband with BvFTD. You're an inspiration," one person wrote.
"Thank you for the sneak peek of the book. Thank you for writing this book. I'm sorry that you found yourself in the caregiver situation. I'm positive it will help many, many people. The journey I was on ended 3 years ago on 4/25/22. God bless you Bruce and your wonderful family," someone else said.
"This book is so needed. Can't wait for it to hit the world, Emma," a third comment read.
Heming Willis' new book will hit shelves on Sept. 9, 2025.
