Emma Heming Willis has defended her decision to live separately from her A-list husband Bruce Willis, hitting back at critics online who she says are “quick to judge”

Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, has spoken out against the criticism she has faced after revealing she made the heartbreaking decision to move the actor into a separate home following his dementia diagnosis.

The 47-year-old model and entrepreneur has been caring for the Die Hard star since his family announced in 2022 that he was stepping away from acting due to health issues.

Bruce, 70, was initially diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that affects speech and comprehension, before doctors later confirmed he had frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023.

Emma has since become one of his primary caregivers, while raising their daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, at the same time. During the ABC special Emma and Bruce Willis: The Unexpected Journey with Diane Sawyer, she revealed that Bruce no longer lives in their main family home.

He is currently staying in a house nearby with a full-time care team. Emma admitted: ““It was one of the hardest decisions that I’ve had to make so far. But I knew, first and foremost, Bruce would want that for our daughters. You know, he would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs.”

She made the decision after realising that the noise and disruption of everyday life with the kids could make Bruce agitated, which meant the girls were not able to have friends over for play dates and had to constantly monitor their noise levels.

Emma added: “When we go over, either we’re outside, or we’re watching a movie… it’s just really about being able to be there, and connect with Bruce.

“It is a house that is filled with love, and warmth, and care, and laughter. And it’s been beautiful to see that, to see how many of Bruce’s friends continue to show up for him, and they bring in life, and fun.”

After the documentary came out, Emma faced criticism online from people who questioned why she and Bruce were living apart. She has addressed the backlash in an emotional video on Instagram.

“I think that they did a beautiful job with amplifying FTD awareness, as well as shining a spotlight onto caregivers,” she said. “What I knew is that by sharing some of our intimate information that we would see these two camps. It would be people with an opinion versus people with an actual experience.

“And it’s been a perfect example to see, in the comment section, I knew would happen, is that people with an opinion and how quick they are to judge the caregiver, and that is what caregivers are up against. Judgement from others and criticism from others. Nothing changes an opinion quite as powerfully as when you have an experience.”

She continued: “Even if someone is closely familiar with dementia or the condition you are caring for, they aren’t in your home, so they don’t know how your person is behaving or your family dynamics. The truth is that the opinions are so loud and they’re so noisy. But if they don’t have the experience of this, they don’t get a say, and they definitely don’t get a vote.”

In her caption for the video, Emma stressed that she talks about her family’s ways of dealing with Bruce’s dementia diagnosis to connect with other caregivers, rather than to give her critics more fodder.

After being filmed dancing on the White Island, Jack Kay quickly gained the nickname “Ibiza Final Boss,” and his stock is still rising in the UK.

He’s a phenomenon that has taken the internet by storm. He is the Ibiza Final Boss. But what does the White Island actually think of their latest craze?

Due to his distinctive appearance, Jack Kay quickly became an overnight internet sensation after a video of him dancing in the party island club Zero Six West went viral earlier in the month. He quickly gained the reputation of the Ibiza Final Boss.

With travel companies and Lego immediately jumping on board with the craze, as well as celebrities quickly commenting on the 26-year-old’s style, he has since been swooped up by big talent agency Neon Management. The savvy experts have also represented other TV personalities and reality show stars, such as Joey Essex and Gogglebox’s Stephen Webb.

And as he continues to tour the UK’s bars and party venues, living off of his distinctive appearance, we can’t wait to see what delights he can offer. Additionally, it’s believed that the agency sees potential in him for pursuing a variety of opportunities, including podcasts and TV shows.

Some say he has hit the jackpot, with rumours suggesting he could be about to bag a six-figure income if he is to play his cards right. But after being snapped in Ibiza with the likes of Wayne Lineker after being flown back to the island in a private jet, it’s unclear if his notoriety is quite as big as back in Blighty.

Was he just a fad after almost a month, or is he still here? It seems as though the North East native is still making money off of his instant fame in the UK. He was living his best life at Creamfields just the weekend, mixing it with performances from some of the biggest names.

Additionally, he has made hints about several significant appearances since his initial emergence. Locals on the island where he rose to fame may not be as excited or bothered by his partying outings.

Prior to my whistle-stop journey, there were several holidaymakers sharing the iconic bowl cut, with one muscly man also sporting a BOSS top. Hugo, a designer brand, clearly had a hand in the decision-making process, which he did have a sneaky edge on.

It appeared as though the locals weren’t quite as enthusiastic about living up to the role of the moment’s star. I anticipated dropping in his moniker as I approached my hotel, but I was met with a “who?” response .

I’m not sure if this was a language barrier or just someone who wasn’t distracted at the time; therefore, I can’t say for sure if that was intentional. Similar responses came up in stores when I was looking for souvenirs. Again, I was met with a confused look when I joked about any Final Boss memorabilia.

I’m not sure if I would have gotten a warmer reception in San Antonio if I had walked closer to his typical party scene, but sadly I wasn’t in town long enough to find out. When I asked if he had been inside one bar in Ibiza Town, the British partiers responded with an ‘legend’s eye roll and a shrug.

Needless to say, Ibiza needs to be a doff of the hat for profiting as much as they can from the situation, regardless of whether Ibiza likes it or even knows much about it. He was greeted warmly on the island’s DJ decks and appeared on exclusive guest lists at some of the hottest venues. And he might be just beginning to prepare for a wealthier future by luxuriating on a vacation with his pals.

Not many people would decline such a life-changing opportunity. And I don’t think he should be at fault for living the life he can. Watch out for what he does next!

After taking their children to Walt Disney World on an expensive £50, 000 trip in April, the Radford family have once more found themselves on vacation in Florida.

Britain’s biggest family, the Radfords, are back in Florida for another sun-soaked Disney adventure – just months after their last trip.

Sue Radford, 50, and husband Noel, 54, who have 22 children, have shared glimpses of their holiday on Instagram, showing the clan enjoying rollercoasters, parades and Mickey-shaped treats. But their getaway has raised eyebrows, coming hot on the heels of a similar trip earlier this year despite Sue admitting the family were “feeling the pinch.”

Now, a celebrity PR expert says there’s more to the Radfords’ holiday habits than meets the eye. Speaking to The Mirror, publicist Mayah Riaz explained that the Radfords are no longer just a family next door – but a household name with serious earning power.

A family like the Radfords is a brand in their own right, she said, adding that it is crucial to grasp that they are more than just a household name at this time.

They are dependent on a number of sources of income, according to the company’s long-running TV show, book deals, brand partnerships, paid appearances, and a sizable social media following.

The family’s Channel 5 programme 22 Kids and Counting regularly pulls in viewers, while their YouTube channel boasts hundreds of thousands of subscribers.

They are not your typical household, aside from Instagram partnerships and media appearances.

Riaz points out that such comments don’t always tell the full story despite Sue’s assertions about budgeting and cost increases.

The “feeling the pinch” comments don’t necessarily indicate that they’re struggling, as the typical family might, she said.

“Those kinds of soundbites frequently strike a chord with the public and make them seem relatable,” according to the author. However, every television appearance, documentary agreement, and brand collaboration has the potential to earn tens of thousands of pounds, sometimes more.

And Riaz suggests that behind-the-scenes deals may be in play when it comes to big-ticket vacations like Disney World.

Add to that the frequent collaboration between Disney and famous families and influencers by offering discounted or even free travel as a form of compensation, she explained.

“As part of their brand work, it wouldn’t surprise if at least some of their travel was subventioned or negotiated.”

The Radfords frequently portray themselves as a family who struggles with the same everyday difficulties as everyone else, as do their followers. Riaz contends that their reality is more in line with that of professional influencers.

The Radfords may appear to be a family like everyone else, but in reality they are media personalities with a level of earning power that reflects that, she said.

“That’s what allows them to finance the kind of lifestyle, including holidays,” according to the statement.

Sue and her husband Noel made the most of the school Easter holidays by traveling to Florida with their own children and all of their grandchildren.

Sue, 50, and Noel, 54, are parents to Christopher, 36, Sophie, 31, Chloe, 30, Jack, 28, Daniel, 26, Luke, 24, Millie, 23, Katie, 22, James, 21, Ellie, 20, Aimee, 19, Josh, 18, Max, 16, Tillie, 15, Oscar, 13, Casper, 12, Alfie, stillborn in 2014, Hallie, 10, Phoebe, 9, Archie, 7, Bonnie, 6, and Heidie, 5.

It is believed that just the flights cost an incredible £26, 000, before baggage fees, which are known to add up quickly.

Sue and Noel could have spent £20, 065 on each of their Florida trips this year based on the cost of a seven-day Disney trip, which would require each visitor to hold a 7-Day Magic Ticket for entrance.

Gabbriette Bechtel, Matt Healy’s fiancé, responded to a post on X, formerly Twitter, in which Taylor Swift made an appearance to mock her for revealing her engagement to Travis Kelce.

Taylor Swift fans are spitting feathers after Matty Healy’s fiancée appeared to take a swipe at the newly engaged star.

The Bad Blood billionaire, 35, broke the internet last week when she announced that she and her boyfriend of two years, Travis Kelce, also 35, were getting married.

The Americana star was flooded with well wishes from fans congratulating her on her happy news. However, Gabbriette Bechtel, 28, who is engaged to Taylor’s ex, Matty, 36, Healy, wasn’t one of them.

Instead, the model responded to an Instagram user, who posted a clip of herself mocking Taylor’s new album with the caption: “Made up what I think The Life of a Showgirl is going to sound like.”

Gabbriette asked the performer to give her version of another song from Taylor’s album, Actually Romantic, and replied, “Babe, please record Actually Romantic, please.

In response, the Swifties soon flocked to Taylor’s defence as one replied: “I’m sorry but that entire group is and HAS been so obsessed with Taylor it’s getting actually weird now. What do you mean you’re out there so bothered by your fiancé’s ex that you’re talking about an UNRELEASED album. LIVING IN THEIR MINDS RENT FREE AND FOR SOME TIME NOW.”

Another rebuked the comment, “Gabbriette and her friends openly having one-sided beef with Taylor, like… Do you not have a wedding you could be planning right now?”

While a third pondered: “Matty Healy’s fiancée is commenting on posts mocking Taylor’s new album How obsessive would one be about an unreleased song”?

Before they got married, The Life of a Showgirl star had a romantic relationship with the 1975 frontman Matty, even though Taylor is now set to waltz down the aisle with Travis.

Taylor began dating Matty after breaking up with actor Joe Alwyn in 2023, and their platonic relationship quickly turned romantic. Fans were interested to find out what actually transpired between the two after their agonizing split only months later and several songs from Taylor’s album The Tortured Poets Department that were allegedly about Matty.

Although Taylor has not confirmed these claims, Fresh Out the Slammer, Guilty As Sin?, I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can), and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived are all thought to be about Matty.

Two sources spoke to Us Weekly about the 1975 star’s reaction to the album. One claimed that Matty received a message from Taylor’s team regarding the album. According to the insider, he was “really appreciative” of that, adding that he was concerned that their story would be misrepresented. He worried that the general public wouldn’t be informed in full.”

He was also very anxious about the Swifties, the source explained, but he is relieved that he can move on more easily. Their union was “fast, passionate, and real,” the couple said. The former couple “speaks now,” according to the insider, but they still shared a strong bond. She will always be valued in a special way in Heaven.

After the pair were first photographed kissing in New York City in September 2023, Matty announced his engagement to Gabbriette in May 2024. This was a few months after his album-inspiring romance with the star ended.

Gabbriette’s representative has been contacted by The Mirror to comment on this story.
