Demi Moore Opens Up About Supporting Ex Bruce Willis Amid His Dementia Battle

Demi Moore continues to be a pillar of support for her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, amid his ongoing battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The Hollywood icon, known for his legendary roles in films like Die Hard and The Fifth Element, was diagnosed with aphasia in March 2022, which later progressed to dementia the following year.

Demi Moore’s Unwavering Support for Bruce Willis

Since Bruce’s health struggles were publicly revealed, Demi has been open about maintaining a close relationship with her former husband. In a recent interview with Variety on February 6, the 62-year-old actress emphasized that their family bond remains strong despite their past divorce.

“We will always be a family, just in a different form,” Demi shared. “For me, there was never a question. I show up because that’s what you do for the people you love.”

The Substance actress also revealed that she visits Bruce weekly, ensuring that she is there to provide emotional support not only to him but also to their blended family. Bruce shares three daughters—Rumer (36), Scout (33), and Tallulah (31)—with Demi, and two younger daughters—Mabel (12) and Evelyn (10)—with his wife, Emma Heming Willis.

A United Front: Blended Family Support

Demi and Emma have demonstrated a strong, united front, working together to support Bruce through this difficult time. Co-parenting with love has been a priority for Demi, who hopes their dynamic serves as an example for other families navigating similar challenges.

“I hope it’s encouraging for others to see that there’s a different way to do things,” Demi said. “There’s life after divorce. There is a way to co-parent with love.”

Her dedication to Bruce and their family echoes her previous sentiments shared in a December 2024 interview with CNN, where she reflected on their post-divorce relationship. “That has been very important to me, even from when Bruce and I separated and divorced—the recognition that we’re a family. And that form may evolve and change, but we can all still be in that form together.”

Bruce Willis’ Condition and Family’s Dedication

While Bruce’s condition remains stable, Demi admitted that watching a loved one battle dementia is an emotional and challenging experience. The Charlie’s Angels actress has continued to show up for major milestones in their family’s life. Recently, Bruce was present for their daughter Tallulah’s 31st birthday, a touching moment Demi shared with fans on Instagram.

“My baby is 31 today! Happy Birthday my sweet magical angel! Love you to the moon.” Demi captioned a heartfelt post on February 3, which included a photo of Bruce, Demi, and their daughter celebrating together.

Despite Bruce stepping away from acting due to his diagnosis, his family remains steadfast in their love and care for him. Emma Heming Willis has also been a strong advocate for frontotemporal dementia awareness, regularly sharing updates and resources to help others facing similar challenges.

A Family Bond That Stands the Test of Time

Demi Moore’s ongoing support for Bruce Willis showcases the power of unwavering love and family unity even in the face of difficult circumstances. Through regular visits, emotional support, and a commitment to keeping their blended family strong, Demi continues to honor the deep connection she shares with Bruce.

As their journey with Bruce’s dementia unfolds, the family remains dedicated to cherishing every moment together, proving that love, in all its forms, is timeless.
