Demi Moore Shares Uplifting Update on Bruce Willis’ Dementia Battle: ‘He’s in a Very Stable Place’
The actor’s ex-wife opens up about his health and shares how their family stays united
Demi Moore, former wife of Bruce Willis, has shared a hopeful update on his health journey with frontotemporal dementia. Moore recently spoke with journalist Christiane Amanpour, sharing where Willis is at.
“You know, given the givens, he’s in a very stable place at the moment,” Moore explained to Amanpour. “I’ve shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely.”
Moore shared the best way to deal with a loved one in Willis’ position. “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 said. “I mean, obviously, it’s very difficult, and it’s not what I would wish upon anyone, and there is great loss, but there is also great beauty.”
Demi Moore on dynamics with Bruce Willis and their blended family
Moore and Willis tied the knot back in 1987, just months after their first meeting. Throughout their 13-year marriage, they welcomed three children: Rumer, Scout and Tallulah. The couple announced their separation in 1998, officially divorcing in 2000.
Since their divorce, both Moore and Willis remarried, with Willis currently married to Emma Heming Willis. In her interview with Amanpour, Moore addressed their interesting family dynamic and how they are all able to get along and support one another.
“That has been very important to me, even from when Bruce and I separated and divorced, is the recognition that we’re a family,” Moore shared. “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.”
And despite the ups and downs of creating a blended family, Moore is grateful they’ve been able to maintain healthy familial relationships. “I’m grateful because it’s not just me. It has to require everybody to be coming together and it’s lovely. I’m really so grateful.”
How Demi Moore is coping with Bruce Willis’ dementia diagnosis
About a month before her interview with Amanpour, Moore opened up on how it has been dealing with Willis’ diagnosis. At the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival in October, Moore shared her thoughts about her ex-husband.
“What I always encourage is to just meet them where they’re at,” Moore said. “When you’re holding on to what was, I think it’s a losing game. But when you show up to meet them where they’re at, there is great beauty and sweetness.”
Rumer Willis on Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ supportive relationship
Moore and Willis’ oldest daughter, actress Rumer Willis, shared about her parent’s current relationship status just last month. She explained that the two are still close and have maintained a healthy relationship.
“I’m so grateful,” Willis said. “I think one of the most beautiful things to witness about my parents’ relationship still is just their love and support of each other.” Although they divorced nearly 25 years ago, Moore and Willis still show up for one another. She continued, “I feel like my parents set such an unbelievable example.”
