Bruce Willis’ Ex-Wife Admits It’s ‘Difficult’ To See Him Struggle With Dementia

Demi Moore has shared an update on the challenging journey of her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, amid his dementia struggle.

Moore explained that Bruce is in “a very stable place” but that watching him go through it is “very difficult,” and she wouldn’t wish dementia on anyone.

Demi Moore’s update comes after Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah shared that all his loved ones are “appreciative” of the time they get to spend with him.

Bruce Willis’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, has opened up on how he’s doing amid his battle with dementia.

In an interview with CNN published on Friday, the 62-year-old actress explained that the actor is “in a very stable place,” but it hasn’t been easy experiencing him go through the struggle.

“Given the givens, he’s in a very stable place at the moment,” she shared. “And I’ve shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely. It’s so important for anybody who’s dealing with this to really meet them where they’re at, and from that place, there is such loving and joy.”

Moore added that watching a loved one struggle with the condition is “very difficult” and is “not what I would wish upon anyone.”

“There is great loss, but there is also great beauty and gifts that can come from it,” she added.

Bruce and Moore share three daughters — Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, having been married between 1987 to 2000. He’s also father to two younger daughters with his wife Emma Heming Willis: Mabel, and Evelyn.

However, the ex-couple have managed to keep their co-parenting duties as a priority which has further helped their blended family stay together amid the “Pulp Fiction” actor’s health troubles.

Speaking on their supportive joint dynamic, Moore told CNN, “That has been very important to me, even from when Bruce and I separated and divorced, is the recognition that we’re a family, and we’ll always be a family, just in a different form.”

“And that form may kind of evolve and change, and there is a way in which we can all be in that form,” she added. “And I’m grateful, ’cause it’s not just me — it has to require everybody to be coming together. And it’s lovely.”

According to the Daily Mail, Bruce was recently seen on a rare outing in Los Angeles with his daughter Tallulah on Wednesday.

The actor was sat in a Range Rover driven by his bodyguard and kept a low profile in a baseball cap.

For her part, Tallulah kept it casual in an oversized red jumper and white joggers. She also met up with her elder sister, Scout, at a beauty salon for a bonding and pampering session.

On Thanksgiving, his daughters Tallulah and Scout shared photos on social media with their father, in which he was seen holding a desk plate that read “Best Dad Ever.”

“Grateful,” Tallulah wrote in the caption of the photos.

It comes months after Tallulah appeared on the “Today Show,” where she spoke on how the actor is managing his dementia diagnosis.

“He’s doing stable, which in this situation is good, and is hard. There’s painful days, but there’s so much love,” the 30-year-old fashion designer shared, per the Mirror UK.

She also explained that her blended family has been “appreciative” of the time spent with Bruce.

“It’s really shown me to not take any moment for granted, and I really do think that we’d be best friends,” she explained. “I think he’s very proud of me. You have to be in the moment. You have to be present.”

Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, revealed that she has no intention to lie to her young daughters, Mabel,12, and Evelyn, 10, about their father’s health.

The model told Town & Country Magazine that the kids witnessed the movie star’s health “decline” before he was even diagnosed with dementia.

“I’ve never tried to sugarcoat anything for them. They’ve grown up with Willis declining over the years,” Heming said. “I’m not trying to shield them from it.”

“Finally getting to a diagnosis was key,” she shared, per Page Six, “so that I could learn what fronto­temporal dementia is and I could educate our children.”

While speaking about their kids being aware of the actor’s health status, the model stated that she learned from their therapist “that if children ask questions, they’re ready to know the answer.”

Heming continued, “If we could see that Bruce was struggling, I would address it with the kids so they could understand, but this disease is chronic, progressive, and terminal. There is no cure.”

She, however, stated that she does not talk about the “terminal side” of her husband’s condition with their kids as they have yet to ask about his life expectancy.

“They know that Daddy’s not going to get better,” Heming added.
