Emma, 45, uploaded the photo-booth snaps to her Story on the app where she was seen wrapping her arms around him and kissing him on the cheek as he laughed. The photos were printed with the caption "BEE DUB's 60th."
Emma gushed over her husband as she wrote: "Love memory lane pictures. This was a fun-filled night for Bruce's 60th back in 2015. And side note, what a babe." Emmas post comes as his ex-wife Demi has recently opened up about the struggle the family are facing as Bruce's condition worsens.
The actress encouraged relatives of those suffering from dementia to "let go of" the person their loved one used to be to ease the pain of their suffering. Demi, 61, was left devastated when Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia last year having remained close to him and his current wife Emma.
Demi opened up about life since Bruce's diagnosis while appearing on Andy Cohen's SiriusXM show Radio Andy. The Ghost actress said she has learned to "take in the joy and the love" for Bruce as she knows him now rather than dwelling on who he was.
When asked "What message do you have for people out there who have family members who have dementia? Who are maybe caring for them or in their lives?" Demi gave a touching reply saying: "I think the most important thing I could share is just to meet them where they're at.
"When you let go of who they've been or who you think they [should be], or who even you would like them to be, you can then really stay in the present and take in the joy and the love that is present and there for all that they are, not all that they're not."
