In an emotional reveal tied to the release of her new book The Unexpected Journey, Emma Heming Willis—the wife of Die Hard icon Bruce Willis—has shared what it was like to hear her husband’s devastating frontotemporal dementia diagnosis for the first time.
The diagnosis, publicly announced in March 2022, came after the actor had already stepped back from his career due to suffering from aphasia, a language disorder that impairs a person’s ability to comprehend verbal and written communication.
“I wrote the book I wish someone had placed in my hands the day we got the diagnoses,” Emma wrote on a social media post unveiling the cover of the book last Thursday (April 17).
