Amid his ongoing battle with frontotemporal dementia, Bruce Willis has moved into a “second home” nearby his family where he can receive 24-hour care.
In an interview with ABC News, his wife, Emma Heming Willis, explained that the decision was made to accommodate the couple’s children, who are 13 and 11 years old.
“It was one of the hardest decisions that I’ve had to make so far. But I knew, first and foremost, Bruce would want that for our daughters,” Emma said. “You know, he would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs.”
Emma shared that the family sees Bruce “a lot,” including for breakfast and dinner on a daily basis.
Bruce was first diagnosed with aphasia, a neurodegenerative disease, in 2022, and his condition progressed to frontotemporal dementia in 2023. Emma shared that the 70-year-old actor “is still very mobile” and “in really great health overall,” but added, “It’s just his brain that is failing him … the language is going.”
