Bruce Willis's wife has shared a couple of snaps from their 'favourite habitat' after the actor's aphasia diagnosis.
The Die Hard legend was recently diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that affects a person's cognitive abilities, specifically impacting their language and speech and causing problems with reading, writing and listening.
A statement from his family read: "As a result of this and with much consideration Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him."
Coming a week after the announcement, his wife, Emma Heming Willis, shared two cute photos. "Mom & Dad in their favourite habitat #offthegrid," the caption reads.

Another wrote: "Sometimes off the grid is the place to be. Be well Willis clan."
Announcing his diagnosis, the statement continued: "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."
News of Willis's condition and retirement sparked thousands of tributes around the world, with many recalling his iconic roles in Pulp Fiction, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and more.

Speaking in an Instagram video, his daughter Rumer said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for all of the messages, all of the prayers, for keeping my poppa and our whole family in your thoughts and prayers. It truly means the world."
Also in response to the announcement, the Razzies rescinded the 'Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie' category, earlier in reference to the eight direct-to-VOD movies he'd starred in through the year.
In a statement, the ceremony's founders John Wilson and Mo Murphy said: "If someone’s medical condition is a factor in their decision making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie."
Kevin Smith, who earlier directed Willis in 2010's Cop Out, also apologised for 'petty' comments he'd made regarding his relationship with the actor. He previously described his experience on the film as 'f***ing soul crushing'.
