Wife of Bruce Willis Shares Latest on ‘Die Hard’ Star’s Debilitating Medical Condition

Emma Heming Willis shares how dementia care has reshaped family holiday traditions, with Bruce Willis now living with professional caregivers, highlighting both grief and moments of joy.

  • This holiday season, Emma Heming Willis published an essay titled `The Holidays Look Different Now` on Heming Willis' website, saying the family will still unwrap gifts and sit together at breakfast.
  • Bruce Willis, retired from acting in 2022, is battling frontotemporal dementia, which affects the frontal and temporal lobes and can cause personality changes and speech loss; earlier this year, he began living with professional caregivers.
  • Admitting sharp emotions, Heming Willis said she finds herself cursing Bruce's name while wrestling with holiday lights or tasks he once handled, and she will make the family pancake tradition.
  • She called moving him to a new home one of the hardest decisions but said she knew, first and foremost, Bruce Willis would want that for their daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.
  • Acknowledging mixed emotions, Heming Willis said she once wanted `the holidays to remain exactly as they were` but accepts that `life is unfolding differently now`; she wrote that `we can grieve and make room for joy` and published a caregiving book in September.
