Husband and wife Bruce Willis and Emma Heming, who celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary last month, huddled together in a touching photo taken by their 10-year-old daughter, Mabel Ray Willis, which was published on Wednesday.
“Mom and Dad in their favorite habitat”Emma wrote under the frame, which shows her and the 67-year-old actor from “Die Hard” smiling at each other, sitting on the trunk of a fallen tree in the woods.
The sentimental post comes after the actor’s family said that he was retiring from his acting career after being diagnosed with aphasia.

Aphasia deprives a person of the ability to communicate and can affect his ability to speak, write and understand language, both oral and written. The condition usually occurs suddenly after a stroke or head injury. But it can also occur gradually as a result of a slow-growing brain tumor or disease that causes progressive, permanent damage.

A source told People magazine that the diagnosis of the Hollywood celebrity is difficult for his partner, as it is not easy to watch her partner get worse. Their girls are also still young. Emma has to take care of them. She works with several specialists to help her husband and arranges for him to visit the best doctors.
“He has an assistant at home who takes care of his safety, but Emma also takes care of him“, issued to the media close to the couple.”Because Bruce was older than Emma, they knew his health could deteriorate sooner than hers. However, his diagnosis was shocking to her.“
While sharing news about Bruce’s diagnosis and subsequent retirement, his family wrote on Instagram:
“To the incredible supporters of Bruce, as a family, we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce is experiencing some health problems and was recently diagnosed with aphasia, which affects his cognitive abilities. As a result, he is withdrawing from a career that means so much for him”they add.
The statement also said that this “is a really challenging time“for all of them,” and we are so grateful for your constant love, compassion and support“.
