LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Emma Heming is taking no chance when it comes to her husband, Bruce Willis, and after his dementia diagnosis, she seems to be more careful. So when the paparazzi allegedly did not leave the retired actor alone as he went out with his friends on Friday, March 3, Heming blasted the media through a video on her Instagram profile.
As per reports, Daily Mail was the one that published Willis’ photos and videos of his first outing since his medical condition was revealed. Addressing directly to the media, Heming said, “I’m just seeing headlines, and there’s a video of my husband out getting some coffee with some friends that did a stand-up job protecting him. It’s clear that there’s still a lot of education that needs to be put forth. So this one is going out to the photographers and video people that are trying to get those exclusives of my husband out and about. Just keep your space."

'Give him the space'
The model continued, “Please don’t be yelling at my husband, asking how he’s doing, whatever. The woo-hooing and the yippee-ki-yay’s — just don’t do it, OK? Give him the space. Allow for our family or whoever’s with him that day to be able to get him from Point A to Point B safely. That’s my PSA.”

They make sure both his body and brain are exercised.” The insider went on to addrd, “The family is all closer than ever,” before noting that Heming “wants them [her kids] to remember Bruce as an amazing, fun dad.

'It is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis"
It has been said that ‘The Sixth Sense’ star’s health has gone downside as last month a statement was released by his family. It stated, “Since we announced Bruce's diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce's condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”
The statement added, “Bruce has always found joy in life – and has helped everyone he knows to do the same. It has meant the world to see that sense of care echoed back to him and to all of us. We have been so moved by the love you have all shared for our dear husband, father, and friend during this difficult time. Your continued compassion, understanding, and respect will enable us to help Bruce live as full a life as possible.”
