Bruce Willis, the 70-year-old movie icon
Bruce Willis’s New Chapter
At 70, Bruce Willis now lives with frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
His wife, Emma Heming Willis, shared that he has moved to a nearby one-story home with 24/7
care to support his condition and keep family close.
A Difficult Family Decision
In the ABC special Emma and Bruce Willis:
The Unexpected Journey, Emma explained the move helps their daughters stay in a stable environment.
“Bruce would have wanted this for their children.”
Responding to Criticism
Some criticized the separate living setup, but Emma replied, “The opinions are so loud and noisy.
If they haven’t walked in a caregiver’s shoes, they don’t get a vote or a say.”
Love, Not Illness, Defines the Story
Though no longer the action star of Die Hard, Bruce’s story is now one of family strength.
Emma’s upcoming memoir explores the emotional reality of caregiving and the power of love through illness.
