Bruce Willis’s Wife Shares: His Body Is Okay, But His Brain Is Failing

Emma Heming Willis has opened up about her husband Bruce Willis’s decline, revealing that his “brain is failing” as frontotemporal

dementia steadily robs him of language and communication. The Die Hard star, 70, was diagnosed more than three years ago.

Emma, 47, is preparing to release a memoir, Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path,

documenting her family’s experience and offering guidance to others caring for loved ones with dementia. In an ABC interview,

she shared: “Bruce is still very mobile. He’s in really great health overall, you know. It’s just his

brain that is failing him. The language is going… and we’ve learned to adapt.”

At first, Emma admitted she tried to handle everything alone, leaving her exhausted and isolated. Over time,

she realized the importance of support networks, both for herself and for their daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.

The family, including Bruce’s three daughters with Demi Moore, still cherish fleeting moments when his old spark shines through.

Bruce now lives in a nearby care residence for round-the-clock support. Emma called it “one of the hardest decisions”

but said Bruce would want their daughters’ lives prioritized. They continue to spend daily time with him.
