'No one knows': Bruce Willis's family 'unsure' about how much time he has left
- Replies 16
The world of Hollywood is no stranger to heartbreak, and it seems another beloved star is facing a challenging journey.
Bruce Willis, the iconic movie star, is battling a severe health condition that has left his family uncertain about the future.
The Willis clan, including his wife Emma Heming, ex-wife Demi Moore, and their five children, are rallying around the star, cherishing every moment they have with him.
Bruce Willis, a name synonymous with action-packed blockbusters, was officially diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia at the start of 2023.
This diagnosis came nearly a year after he announced his retirement from acting due to aphasia, a condition that impairs speech and language abilities.
Since then, his family has been transparent about his health journey, sharing updates on social media about the Die Hard star's deteriorating condition.
Just recently, a source close to the family recently revealed to US Weekly that Willis's condition has taken a turn for the worse in the past few weeks.
'Bruce has good days and bad days, but in the last two months, there are many more bad days than good,' the source shared.
The uncertainty of the situation has brought the family closer together.
'No one knows how much time Bruce has left, so they're soaking up every moment they get with him,' the source added.
Despite the challenging circumstances, the four-time Golden Globe winner is not alone in his battle.
He has round-the-clock care, and at least one family member is always by his side.
The family recently celebrated Thanksgiving together, with Willis seen beaming in a group photo shared on social media.
Emma Heming-Willis, Willis's wife and mother to their daughters Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9, has been open about the struggles of caring for a loved one with dementia.
In an interview, she expressed her guilt over having resources that others in similar situations might not have.
'When I'm able to get out for a hike to clear my head, it's not lost on me that not all care partners can do that,' she said.
Heming also acknowledged the thousands of untold stories of people dealing with similar situations, each deserving of compassion and concern.
She hopes to continue being an advocate for those living her experience, stating, 'I see that what I share matters to others who may be struggling, and in a small way makes them feel seen and understood.'
This news comes after Willis's 29-year-old daughter, Tallulah Willis, shared her family's emotional journey with dementia, from the early warning signs they missed to grappling with the difficult diagnosis.
In an interview with Vogue, Tallulah narrated her father’s FTD symptoms, which inadvertently intertwined with her own mental health struggles.
Willis’s gradual decline in responsiveness was their first clue that something was amiss, but they initially brushed it off as a hearing loss.
