Hollywood icon Bruce Willis has been battling frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a condition that has deeply affected his life and the lives of those closest to him. His ex-wife Demi Moore, who remains a strong pillar of support for him and their family, recently shared an emotional update on his health. Fans worldwide have been eager to know how the legendary actor is coping, and Moore’s words shed light on his current condition.
Bruce Willis’ Health Update: ‘He Is Now Out of the Public Eye’
In her latest statement, Demi Moore revealed that Bruce Willis has now fully retreated from the public eye, spending most of his time in a private and peaceful environment with his family.
“Bruce is surrounded by love. We cherish every moment with him, and our focus is on keeping him comfortable and happy.” – Demi Moore
As his frontotemporal dementia progresses, the actor’s ability to communicate and recognize loved ones has reportedly declined. However, Moore emphasized that their blended family, including Willis’ wife Emma Heming Willis and their children, remains united in supporting him.
Bruce Willis’ Battle with Frontotemporal Dementia
Willis’ health struggles became public in March 2022, when his family announced his aphasia diagnosis, a condition affecting speech and comprehension. By February 2023, doctors confirmed he had frontotemporal dementia, a rare and progressive disorder impacting behavior, language, and personality.
Unlike Alzheimer’s disease, which primarily affects memory, FTD causes changes in social behavior, emotions, and cognitive function. Over time, the condition can lead to severe communication difficulties and a loss of independence.
Family’s Unwavering Support
Bruce Willis’ family, including Demi Moore and Emma Heming Willis, have stood by him throughout his journey. Moore, despite divorcing Willis in 2000, has remained close to him and their three daughters: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah Willis
