Bruce Willis, 69, was recently seen riding in the passenger seat of a car, offering a rare public sighting of the iconic actor as he continues his battle with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). This sighting comes shortly after his ex-wife, Demi Moore, provided an update on his health during the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival, where she was honored with the Career Achievement in Acting Award.

Demi Moore Provides Update on Willis’ Health

At the festival, Demi Moore, 61, shared insight into Willis’ condition. The two were married for over a decade and share three daughters: Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30. While discussing Willis’ health, Moore emphasized the importance of acceptance, saying, “The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is. But for where he’s at, he’s stable,” according to People.

Moore explained that adapting to the reality of Willis’ condition has been crucial for the family. “What I always encourage is to just meet them where they’re at. When you’re holding on to what was, I think it’s a losing game, but when you show up to meet them where they’re at, there is great beauty and sweetness,” she said, reflecting on their approach to his care.

The Family’s Support Through Willis’ Health Struggles

Willis’ battle with aphasia, a disorder that affects communication, was first publicly announced in March 2022, which led to his retirement from acting. The family has remained united in their efforts to provide Willis with the best care and support, while also maintaining a positive outlook.

In February 2023, Willis’ family shared that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia, a degenerative disorder that affects behavior, personality, and language. FTD is more common in people under the age of 60, making it one of the leading forms of early-onset dementia. “FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone,” the family said in a written statement at the time. They also highlighted that the diagnosis process can take years, which may lead to the condition being more prevalent than many realize.

Cherishing Time Together

Despite the difficult journey, Moore and her family remain focused on cherishing the time they have with Willis. “We’re hoping to share … whatever we have, for however long we have it,” Moore said, reflecting on the importance of living in the moment with their loved one.

As Bruce Willis continues his battle with FTD, his family and fans alike have come together in support, sending well wishes to the actor who has touched so many lives with his legendary career. His public appearances may be rare, but the love and care from those around him are evident as they navigate this challenging chapter of his life.
