Since the Die Hard star was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, which progressed to frontotemporal dementia the next year, Heming has opened up about their family's journey with his condition.

Last week, Heming marked her 15th wedding anniversary with Willis, sharing a sweet tribute to her husband. 

'Today marks our 15th wedding anniversary!' she wrote. 'And today, I can make a choice. I can wallow in sorrow or I can celebrate it. I call this the "remarkable reframe."

'What I know is there is so much to celebrate. Our union and connection is probably stronger than ever,' added Heming.

'We have two bright, fun and healthy daughters. We have a family unit that is built on mutual respect and admiration,' she continued. 'And simply, I just love and adore the man I married.'
