Demi Moore, the ex-wife of Bruce Willis, has publicly expressed her support for Emma Heming Willis, Bruce’s current wife, amid the actor’s frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed in 2023, now lives separately from Emma and their two daughters in a nearby bungalow where a full-time care team assists him.
Emma has faced criticism online after revealing the difficult decision to move Bruce into a home tailored specifically for his needs. Demi Moore, who shares three adult daughters with Bruce, praised Emma on a recent episode of Oprah Winfrey’s podcast. Moore acknowledged the immense pressure and responsibility Emma carries as a caregiver, saying she is doing a masterful job navigating this challenging situation.
Moore emphasized the importance of caregivers taking care of their own well-being to be able to support others effectively. She expressed compassion for Emma being a young woman facing such an unexpected journey, praising her courage and dedication. Emma has also published a book offering guidance to those caring for loved ones with dementia, inspired by her own experiences.
