Emma Heming Willis revealed in an ABC special that Bruce Willis, diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023, now lives in a one-story home near their family to better support his care needs.
She called the choice extremely difficult but necessary to accommodate Bruce’s sensitivity to noise and other symptoms, which had complicated life in the main household.
Reports indicated Bruce’s appetite has lessened, with weight loss and fading communication skills causing family concern.
Emma responded to false reports of despair by highlighting the joy and warmth still present in Bruce’s life.
The move altered family routines, as their daughters could no longer host friends for sleepovers.
Emma described the new home as a loving environment with frequent visits from close friends keeping Bruce engaged.
She shared memories of early signs of change in Bruce’s personality, including withdrawal and quietness.
Though his physical health remains strong, declining brain function requires constant adjustment and loving care from his family.
