Bruce Willis’ wife Emma has a simple message for all the paparazzi trying to snag a photo of her husband while they’re out: just stop.
Heming Willis made the statement on Instagram, pleading for photographers to “keep your space” when following the 67-year-old Willis, who was recently diagnosed with dementia.
Heming Willis said in her post, “If you are someone who is looking after someone with dementia, you know how difficult and stressful it can be to get someone out into the world and to navigate them safely, even just to get a cup of coffee.
“It’s clear that there’s still a lot of education that needs to be put worth. 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.”
Heming Willis’ statement comes a few weeks after the family announced that Willis’ aphasia had progressed into frontotemporal dementia, which is often diagnosed at a younger age than other forms of dementia.
Symptoms include personality changes, speech difficulty, and motor impairment.
Per Variety, Bruce and Emma have been married since 2009.
