Since being diagnosed with aphasia, a condition that impairs communication abilities, actor Bruce Willis has retreated from the spotlight. His family has openly shared updates about his health, revealing that his condition has progressed to frontotemporal dementia (FTD). They\u2019ve also kept fans informed about his ongoing journey.\n

\"\"\n

\u201cWe want to start by expressing our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming love, support, and wonderful stories we\u2019ve received since sharing Bruce\u2019s original diagnosis,\u201d his daughter Rumer Willis wrote on social media.\n

\u201cIn that spirit, we\u2019d like to provide an update on our beloved husband, father, and friend, as we now have a deeper understanding of what he is experiencing.\n

\u201cSince announcing Bruce\u2019s aphasia diagnosis in spring 2022, his condition has progressed, and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (FTD),\u201d she continued.\n

The family explained that as Bruce\u2019s cognitive functions decline further, doctors are doing everything possible to ease his journey.\n

Emma Heming, Willis\u2019 wife, has been working closely with a dementia specialist to ensure the Die Hard actor receives the best care. In 2022, she reflected on the emotional toll of the situation: \u201cMy grief can be paralyzing, but I\u2019m learning how to live alongside it. As my stepdaughter [Scout Willis] told me, grief is the deepest and purest form of love. I hope you find some comfort in that too.\u201d\n

Recently, Emma discovered Instagram\u2019s memory feature, which highlights past posts. She shared a clip from a year earlier of Willis expressing his admiration for her. In the caption, she wrote: \u201cWhat\u2019s this new Memory thingy on IG!? Omg, my biggest fan. I\u2019m in love with him.\u201d\n

In the video, Bruce enthusiastically praised Emma\u2019s skincare brand, Cocobaba, saying he was \u201ccrazy\u201d about it.\n

Even before the family publicly disclosed Willis\u2019 diagnosis, colleagues on set had observed changes.\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t so much an annoyance as it was, \u2018How can we avoid making Bruce look bad?\u2019\u201d a crew member from his recent film White Elephant shared. \u201cSomeone would feed him a line, but he didn\u2019t understand what it meant. He was essentially being puppeted.\u201d\n

The Willis family remains committed to supporting Bruce through this challenging chapter while continuing to share heartfelt updates with fans who have offered their unwavering love and encouragement.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
