Emma Heming Willis Gives New Update on Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis is one of those people whom millions love. His career had many memorable roles in movies like Die Hard, Look Who’s Talking, and The Sixth Sense. And of course, who can forget his hit comedy TV show Moonlighting? Bruce retired in 2022 as his health took a tragic turn. He’s now living with frontotemporal dementia. While Bruce may have lost his ability to communicate, his family and friends still spend as much time with him as they can. Bruce shares daughters Rumor, Scout, and Tallulah with ex-wife Demi Moore. His two younger daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, are the children of Bruce Willis and his current wife, Emma Hemming Willis. Emma recently appeared on the Today Show and spoke about her beloved husband.

Emma Hemming Willis Said Bruce Willis is Surrounded by Love
When asked about Bruce Willis, Emma Hemming Willis gave a blunt, but truthful answer.
“It’s such a loaded question. It’s hard to answer,” Heming Willis said. “But honestly, today, great. He is surrounded by love and care, and he is doing really well with an unkind disease.”
She told Today earlier this year that they’ve adapted to their new normal.
“For us, now, our communication is different, but our connection is very much intact,” Emma said.
In the wake of Bruce’s illness, Emma Hemming Willis felt connected to other caregivers and their struggles. She met many, like Nikki Stephens and attended The Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s annual gala. Stephens’ husband, John, suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2004 while serving as a Marine in Iraq.
“My fellow caregivers were absolutely the first ones I talked to,” Nikki told Today. “The support is … I don’t know what I would do without it, to be honest.”
Emma Hemming Willis went public with her struggles as Bruce’s caregiver, and she and Nikki both want people to know they’re not alone.
“Don’t hide it, don’t be afraid of it, speak about it. Tell it,” Nikk said. “Bring awareness with that, and with that you’ll find your people.”
