Demi Moore has shared a tragic update on her ex-husband Bruce Willis’ continuing fight with dementia.
After receiving a diagnosis of aphasia, a condition that impairs language, Willis stopped acting in 2022.
The Die Hard actor’s family offered an update on his health in 2023, indicating that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD).
FTD affects the lobes of the brain below the forehead, resulting in behavioral changes, compulsive behavior, and difficulty communicating.
Moore and Willis married between 1989 and 2000 and had three daughters: Rumer, 36; Scout, 33; and Tallulah, 31.
Moore recently told Variety, “We will always be a family, just in a different form.” For me, there was never a question. I attend because it is customary to do so for those who are dear to you.

Moore discussed how she and Willis are still friends despite their divorce, saying, “I hope it’s inspiring for people to understand that there’s another way to handle things.
“There’s life after divorce. There is a method to co-parent lovingly.”
Moore revealed what she has been telling her children about Willis’ chronic health concerns during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in September of last year.
“What I tell my kids is to meet them where they are. Moore explained that you don’t hang onto who they were or what you want them to be, but rather who they are at this time.
“And from that, there is such beauty and joy and love and sweetness.”
Moore has a positive connection with Willis and his wife, Emma Heming Willis, even if they are no longer romantically linked.

Tallulah had just issued a ‘painful’ report on her father’s health.
Speaking to E! News, she said, “Our visits have so much love, and I feel it, and that overshadows everything else for me—being able to connect.
“I know he understands how much I adore him, and I know he loves me. I know how much he adores each of us.”
She said, “We are in a really unique situation because we have this platform. We all have a voice and eyes on us in our own unique ways.
“I think it’s been ingrained…how can we use something painful or challenging or a struggle to create awareness or find something supportive or healing for others?”
