Bruce Willis’ wife Emma Heming has made a devastating admission about their kids after the Hollywood icon’s dementia diagnosis. Bruce, 70, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023 – a progressive brain condition which affects personality, behaviour and language. Now Emma, 47, admitted Bruce’s children are already “grieving” their father.
Bruce has five daughters – Rumer, Scout and Tallulah with his ex-wife Demi Moore, and Mabel Ray and Evelyn Penn with Emma. Though his three oldest daughters are in their 30s, Mabel is only 13, while Evelyn is 11.
Emma told Vogue Australia: “I think they’re doing well, all things considered, but it’s hard. They grieve, they miss their dad so much.
“He’s missing important milestones, that’s tough for them – but kids are resilient, [although] I used to hate hearing that because people didn’t understand what we were walking through.”
She went on: “I don’t know if my kids will ever bounce back, but they’re learning and so am I.”
Bruce has moved into a new home since his FTD diagnosis, where he is supported by carers 24/7. Emma confessed it was “one of the hardest decisions I ever had to make”.
During an interview with the Sunday Times, she said: “Among the sadness and discomfort, it was the right move — for him, for our girls, for me. Ultimately, I could get back to being his wife. And that’s such a gift.
“It’s made such a difference for more friends and family to have their own experience with him without it being my home, without me hovering, or my anxiety of how to manage the guest and their expectations, and then have to see their reactions – their sadness at what is.”
