Bruce Willis’s wife Emma has shared a touching throwback selfie to mark Valentine’s Day, as the action star continues to live with dementia.

Willis’s family announced in a joint statement last year that the Die Hard actor’s previous diagnosis of the brain disorder aphasia had developed into frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

British model Emma Heming Willis, 45, has shared a photo of her and Willis, 68, kissing in front of Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada, to mark Valentine’s Day.

On Wednesday, the 45-year-old took to Instagram Emma wrote, "Love is a beautiful thing. Wishing you all a Happy Valentine's Day," conveying the enduring strength of their bond.

Despite the challenges posed by Bruce's health condition, Emma's commitment to standing by his side shines through in her message, reaffirming her dedication to their relationship.

Heming revealed in the comments that the photo was taken in March 2010, marking a poignant moment in their journey together.

Emma's unwavering support for Bruce comes amid his ongoing battle with dementia, a condition that has significantly impacted his life and career. Diagnosed with aphasia two years ago, Bruce's condition worsened with the onset of frontotemporal dementia, leading to his retirement from acting.

Emma has openly discussed the challenges of caring for Bruce, acknowledging the difficulty of gauging his awareness and decision-making abilities. As his primary caregiver, she has taken on the responsibility of ensuring his well-being, even as the toll of his condition weighs heavily on her.

Fortunately, Bruce is surrounded by a loving and supportive family, including his ex-wife Demi Moore, and their adult children, who have rallied together to provide assistance and comfort during this trying time.

Despite the adversity they face, the Willis family remains united, drawing strength from their deep bond and resilience in the face of adversity.
