Latest News about Bruce Willis

01/2026

Emma Heming Willis revealed that her husband, Bruce Willis, is unaware he has frontotemporal dementia, describing it as both a blessing and a curse since he never connected the dots about his condition. She shared this during an appearance on the 'Conversations with Cam' podcast. Heming Willis has been providing care for Willis, who was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 leading to his retirement from acting, and later with frontotemporal dementia in 2023; she previously moved him to a nearby one-story home with round-the-clock care.
