Candid Conversations About Dementia
Moore’s openness and candidness about her ex-husband’s dementia battle have resonated with many. When asked about her message to other families dealing with dementia, Moore encouraged them to let go of preconceived notions and expectations. “When you let go of who they’ve been or who you think they [should be], or who even you would like them to be, you can then really stay in the present,” she shared during an interview.

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the specific form of dementia that Willis is bravely confronting. Diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, Willis announced his retirement from the acting industry. In March 2023, his family shared the news that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia.

Despite their divorce, Heming and Willis have maintained a strong bond, even renewing their vows in 2019. The ceremony was attended by their children and Moore, showcasing the importance of love and unity within their blended family.
While dementia presents its own unique challenges, the love and support surrounding Bruce Willis serve as a reminder of the strength and resilience that can be found within familial relationships.
