Emma Heming Willis recently opened up about Bruce Willis’ current health and living situation in an ABC special. Bruce, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, now lives in a one-story home near the family to better meet his care needs.
Emma described it as a heartbreaking but necessary decision, made with Bruce’s well-being and their daughters’ needs in mind.
Since his aphasia diagnosis, Bruce’s public appearances have stopped, and his appetite has declined, causing worry among loved ones. Emma shared the toll misinformation online has taken on her and emphasized Bruce’s continuing joy.
Noise sensitivity led the family to move Bruce to a quieter, separate home, changing routines for their daughters, who could no longer host friends for sleepovers.
Emma calls their new arrangement a “second home” full of warmth and support from many friends who visit Bruce.
She reflected on Bruce’s early symptoms: his quietness and withdrawal were alarming compared to his former vibrant personality.
Bruce’s physical health remains strong, but his brain function and language fade steadily. The family adapts daily to communicate and support him, demonstrating resilience amid challenges.
