Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Hemming, 44, modeled a one-piece swimsuit on social media on Wednesday.
But it wasn’t just any swimsuit. It was an Andie Swim suit that was co-designed by Bruce’s ex-wife Demi Moore, 59. The Ghost superstar has modeled a very similar version of this suit for Andie Swim’s summer campaign.
Emma and Demi have become close friends as they help Bruce deal with his health issues – he suffers from aphasia, a degenerative brain disease – in the past few years.

Heming is said to be doing everything she can to make sure the Die Hard actor is getting the best help possible as he battles aphasia.
The model is said to be ‘working with several professionals to help’ the movie star, 67, and ‘has arranged for him to see the best doctors,’ a source told PEOPLE.
‘He has an assistant at home to make sure that he is safe, but Emma takes care of him too,’ the insider added to the outlet.
In April, family shared news he was quitting acting due to the condition, which is a neuro-cognitive disorder that effects the sufferers ability to speak and understand language.

‘Because Bruce is older than Emma, they knew that his health might decline sooner than hers. Still, his diagnosis has been shocking for her,’ the source continued.
Willis is 67-years-old.
It comes amid claims from The Sun that Bruce wants to speak publicly about his diagnosis and wishes to do an interview with TV pal Diane Sawyer.
A source said: ‘Over the years, Bruce has considered tapping a friend like Diane Sawyer to interview him, Emma, and Demi about his condition, but the opportunity to keep working usually got in the way of planning something like that.
‘It could still happen though because Demi and Emma want other families to know what they’ve been going through and provide some educational value to the whole situation, now that it’s more public.

‘But with everything with Bruce now, it has to be handled sensitively and nobody wants him to turn into a circus sideshow.’
The insider added: ‘If they can do an interview – or even a documentary project – that will help other families without humiliating theirs, they will do it.’
The pair have a long history of on-screen interviews and in 2006 he spoke to her about his efforts to find love after his marriage to actress Demi Moore ended.
A representative for Bruce has been contacted by MailOnline for a comment.
In a statement shared to his daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah’s respective Instagram pages, Bruce’s health condition was revealed to the world.
‘To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities,’ they wrote.
‘As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.’
The statement added: ‘This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him.
‘As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that,’ the statement, which was signed by his wife, model Emma, his ex-wife Demi and all of his children, concluded.
According to the National Aphasia Association, the condition is an impairment of language, affecting the production or comprehension of speech and the ability to read or write.

The association reports the condition is always due to injury to the brain, most commonly from a stroke, particularly in older individuals.
Head trauma, brain tumors or from infections can also cause aphasia.
The announcement comes more than one year after OK Magazine first speculated on Willis’ declining mental health, after he was seen leaving a California pharmacy without a facemask.
The actor later apologized saying it was an ‘error in judgment,’ but unnamed sources told the magazine Willis ‘simply forgot’ to bring the bandana hanging from his neck up to his face.

The source said that, although Willis had not been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, ‘he’s been waging a personal war for a number of years.’
They said Willis had sold his New York property to spend more time with his wife and children in Los Angeles, and said that his wife, as well as ex-wife Moore, were working together to take care of the famed actor.
‘His wife Emma has helped Demi Moore and the children Bruce shares with his ex-wife to make truces because they know he’s fading,’ the unnamed source told the magazine in January 2021.
‘Between Demi and Emma, the family has always ensured Bruce has the support and care he might need at any given time,’ the insider said. ‘It’s sad that people are making fun of him.’
According to the magazine, Willis had previously been seen using an earpiece to feed him lines in his Broadway debut in Misery in 2015, and the unnamed insider also said he was struggling during the filming of M. Night Shyamalan’s2019 film Glass.
