Since Willis’s diagnosis of aphasia in 2022, progressing to frontotemporal dementia, Heming has shared insights into their journey dealing with his condition. Recently celebrating their 15th wedding anniversary, Heming reflected on the strength of their bond and the joys of their family, including their two daughters.

'She's so you,' wrote one follower in the comments, to which the mom responded: 'And she clearly got Bruce's FUN gene!'

Their close-knit family extends to Willis’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, and her children with Willis, showing a supportive and united front. Moore and Willis welcomed the milestone of becoming grandparents when their daughter Rumer had her first child last year.
