On 21 April 2022 Wilmès announced that she would temporarily take a leave of absence and hand over her government responsibilities to spend more time with her family as her husband has been diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumour. Wilmès’s responsibilities were being shared out between, the Prime Minister Alexander De Croo (foreign affairs), David Clarinval (foreign trade) and Mathieu Michel (federal cultural entities). On July 14, 2022, Wilmès resigned definitively as a member of the De Croo government, but she remained a member of parliament.
