Demi Moore Says Bruce Willis Is in a ‘Stable Place’ Amid Dementia Battle

Actress Demi Moore is giving fans an update on her ex-husband Bruce Willis’ health amid his battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
Moore and television host Drew Barrymore, went on to look back on their time working together on the 2003 movie “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle,” where Willis made a cameo.
“I mean, I used to know him when he was a bartender at Cafe Central!” she added. “I’ve known him my whole life, too.”
“The Substance” star and Willis were married from 1987 to 2000 and are parents to their daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Talullah, 30.
Since their divorce, the two have remained close, blending their families after Willis married his second wife, Emma Heming Willis, with whom he shares two daughters.
“What I say to my kids is, you meet them where they’re at. You don’t hold on to who they were or what you want them to be, but who they are in this moment,” she said.
“And from that, there is such beauty and joy and loving and sweetness,” Moore added. “When I’m in L.A., I go over every week, and I really treasure the time that we all share.”
“This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him.”
The condition can lead to deterioration in “behavior, personality and/or difficulty with producing or comprehending language.”
It affects roughly 50,000 to 60,000 people in the United States, with the majority of whom between the ages of 45 and 65 years old.
The family has continued to update the public throughout separate interviews and appearances about the “Die Hard” star’s health status.
“I think, for me, through this experience, what’s been so incredible is my dad is so beloved, and that’s been so evident in the transparency with which we’ve been sharing,” she said.
“And I think if there’s any way sharing our experience brings hope—whatever comes forward as a family—that can have an effect and bring any sort of hope, comfort to someone else experiencing that, then to me, that’s … everything.”
“I see love when I’m with him, and it’s my dad and he loves me, which is really special,” she said.
