Bruce Willis Family Faces Dementia Diagnosis, Retirement

Emma Heming Willis, wife of Bruce Willis, has described the family's shock and lack of guidance after Bruce’s 2022 diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which led him to retire from acting. Emma shared her emotional journey and feelings of isolation while speaking at the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement Forum, highlighting the lack of support and resources available to caregivers. She is channeling her experience into advocacy and an upcoming book, 'The Unexpected Journey,' intended to help others facing similar challenges. The Willis family, including Bruce's ex-wife Demi Moore and their children, have continued to show public support and celebrate milestones together. Emma stresses the importance of providing guidance and visibility for caregivers, hoping her work will fill the gap she once faced. There is currently no treatment for FTD, which is a leading cause of dementia in people under 60.
