Emma's latest social media posts come as she continues to dedicate her time caring for her husband Bruce as he struggles with his ongoing battle with dementia. The beloved Die Hard actor was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (better known as FTD) last spring. His health battle was first announced the year prior when his family revealed he was suffering from a language disorder called aphasia.

His wife Emma has been a steady rock for the actor throughout his heath battle, staying by his side every step of the way, while raising awareness to their fans. The couple share two kids together, welcoming Mabel in 2012 and Evelyn in 2014. Bruce also shares three older children with ex-wife Demi Moore including Rumer, Tallulah and Scout.

Last month Emma expressed her unconditional love for the retired Hollywood star in a heartfelt birthday post. In the post celebrating the Unbreakable star's 69th birthday, she gushed over their romance describing Bruce's arms the "safest place in this whole wide world ". She went on to add that he was a true "gentleman" and was the "gift that keeps giving" and still has so much love to share and give to the world.

Earlier this year Bruce's friend and creator of Bruce's hit 1980s comedy series Moonlighting, Glen Gordon Caron, gave an insight into his visits to see the ailing actor. Talking to the New York Post he said: "My sense is the first one to three minutes he knows who I am he's not totally verbal.

"He used to be a voracious reader - he didn't want anyone to know that - and he's not reading now, all those language skills are no longer available to him, and yet he's still Bruce. When you're with him you know that he's Bruce and you're grateful that he's there, but the joie de vivre is gone."

Glen also it has been "mind-blowing" to see how much Bruce has changed adding that he "loved life and… just adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest."
