Bruce Willis, the beloved Hollywood icon, has been in the hearts and minds of people worldwide since his retirement from acting last year due to a diagnosis of aphasia. This condition affected his ability to communicate, making it increasingly challenging for him to work on set.
Unfortunately, the legend’s condition has taken a turn for the worse since then, as his family recently disclosed that he has been diagnosed with dementia. This news came as a shock to Bruce’s loved ones and fans alike, and they have been showing their unwavering support in various ways.
In an emotional statement, Willis’s wife, Emma Heming, along with his children and ex-wife Demi Moore, expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming love and support they have received.
The statement read:
“Our family wanted to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the incredible outpouring of love, support, and wonderful stories we have all received since sharing Bruce’s original diagnosis.
“In the spirit of that, we wanted to give you an update about our beloved husband, father, and friend since we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed, and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD).
“Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.
“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone.”
The statement concluded with a heartfelt note:
“Bruce has always found joy in life – and has helped everyone he knows to do the same. It has meant the world to see that sense of care echoed back to him and to all of us.
“We have been so moved by the love you have all shared for our dear husband, father, and friend during this difficult time.
“Your continued compassion, understanding, and respect will enable us to help Bruce live as full a life as possible.”
Bruce has chosen to maintain a low profile since the diagnosis became public but was seen enjoying a coffee outing with friends over the weekend.
In the upcoming months, Bruce’s family, including his wife Emma and kids, will play a crucial role in supporting him. However, it’s not just his immediate loved ones. According to sources, Demi Moore, Bruce’s ex-wife, who shares a strong bond with him, has moved in with the Willis clan to provide her support.
The Daily Mail reported that Demi Moore made this touching gesture: “Demi has moved in, and she is not leaving until the very end.”
Demi had previously moved in with Bruce and Emma during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a mother to three children shared with Willis – Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah – she understands the importance of family and staying united in tough times.
Let us take a moment to appreciate Demi Moore’s incredible act of love. It’s a testament to the deep bonds of familial love. Share this heartwarming story on Facebook and keep Bruce Willis in your prayers during this challenging time. We’re with you, Bruce!
