Bruce Willis’ wife Emma said that she feels “guilty” for celebrating her 50th birthday amid her husband’s battle with dementia.
Appearing on Hoda Kotb’s Making Space podcast, Hemming Willis, who celebrated her milestone birthday in June, said she was initially unsure of marking the big day as she has “not really been in the celebratory feelings of late”.
She revealed that she will always carry feelings of guilt, but has realised that to linger on these feelings “is not really helpful”
“I always go back to ‘what would my husband want for me?’ And he would want me to have a big, fun bash.”
The 71-year-old actor's family announced in 2023 that he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a year after they said he was “stepping away” from his job because he had aphasia.
