Demi Moore says Bruce Willis is ‘stable’ in rare update after dementia diagnosis

Demi Moore has provided a health update on Bruce Willis, stating the Die Hard actor is in a 'stable' condition following his dementia diagnosis.

Willis took a step back from acting in 2022 after being diagnosed with frontotemporal degeneration (FTD).

According to the Alzheimer's Society, the condition affects the frontal and temporal lobe in the brain.

Many of Willis' family have provided health updates on the 69-year-old's wellbeing over recent months and years, with Moore, his ex-wife, providing the latest info on his wellbeing.

The pair married in 1987 before splitting up in 2000. They welcomed three daughters during their time together; Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30.

Despite their separation, Moore maintains a good relationship with Willis and his wife, Emma Heming Willis.

Speaking with CNN recently, Moore opened up on Willis' ongoing dementia battle.

She said: "Given the givens, he’s in a very stable place at the moment. And I’ve shared this before, but I really mean this so sincerely. It’s so important for anybody who’s dealing with this to really meet them where they’re at, and from that place, there is such loving and joy."

Moore went on to say it's been 'very difficult' watching Willis struggle with the disease, though added: "There is great loss, but there is also great beauty and gifts that can come from it."

Earlier this year, Tallulah provided a 'painful' update on her father's wellbeing.

Speaking to E! News, she said: "Our visits have so much love and I feel that and that overarches anything for me—being able to have that connection.

“I know I know he knows how much I love him, I know how much he loves me. I know how much he loves all of us."

She continued: "We are in a very unique position where we have this platform. All of us do, all of us in our own ways have a voice and have eyes on us.

"I think it’s been ingrained...how can we use something that’s painful or challenging or a struggle and create awareness about it or find the thing that could be supportive or healing for other people.”

It came after Moore offered a further update on the actor's health on The Drew Barrymore Show.

The actor shared what she tells her children about their father, saying: "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.

“And from that, there is such beauty and joy and loving and sweetness.”
