Bruce Willis’ second wife, Emma Hemming, has also been very candid about his FTD diagnosis and her experience as primary caregiver on her Instagram. She was accused of talking a lot about Bruce’s condition to get attention, but that did not stop her. “I’m always going to advocate for my husband,” she said in response to the backlash. “While I’m at it, I’m going to raise awareness around FTD and for caregivers, who are unsung heroes out there.”

In her published essay for Vogue in June, she shared how she is coping with her father’s FTD diagnosis. “Every time I go to my dad’s house, I take tons of photos — of whatever I see, the state of things.
