Bruce Willis' Wife Reveals Health Update for the Actor: 'Feels Like a Gut Punch'

Bruce Willis' wife is opening up about his health with an important update that may help others.

Emma Heming Willis took to her Instagram to share an important update regarding Wave Life Sciences ending their clinical trial that could potentially find a cure to frontotemporal dementia—a disease that the 68-year-old actor was diagnosed with in Feb. 2023.

"Yesterday I read that Wave Life Sciences ended their clinical trial that could potentially treat frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Where I’m not sure it could have helped us over here, it doesn’t really matter, it still feels like a gut punch," the model, 44, wrote in the caption alongside sweet snaps of her daughters whom she shares with Bruce.

One image captured the couple's 9-year-old daughter Evelyn playing with a golden retriever as she sat on a swing. The next image captured Emma walking with her 11-year-old daughter Mabel as they wrapped each other's arms around one another.

She also included a snap that captured Evelyn sitting on Bruce's lap as they pet the golden retriever pooch, along with another image of a white rose that read "Remember to never lose hope" over the snap.

"But I always have to look at the silver linings—they are trying. So I want to say thank you to Wave Life Sciences also to Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation and AFTD who played an active role through the Treat FTD Fund program," Emma continued in the caption.

She added: "Please keep that momentum going, build on the learnings/findings, and don’t give up on this loving community. Our family will continue to keep the faith and never lose hope."

Many fans took to the comments to thank the model for being such a strong advocate for the diseases that are actively affecting her family, including one fan who wrote, "You're an excellent advocate for these causes! My mother died from complications caused by Alzheimer's and I understand your fear and pain way too well. Be patient, enjoy every single second and be happy!❤️"
