Bruce Willis’ family, including ex-wife Demi Moore, announced his aphasia diagnosis in March 2022 — details about his new dementia battle
A rare update. Demi Moore revealed how ex-husband Bruce Willis’ aphasia has “progressed” since going public with the news in March 2022.
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD),” the G.I. Jane actress, 60, wrote in a statement via the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) on Thursday, February 16. “Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”
Moore — who shares daughters Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah Willis, 29, with the Six Sense actor, 67 — shared the message via Instagram as well. She noted that the update came from the entire Moore/Willis family, including Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, and their two daughters, Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8.
“As a family, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for the outpouring of love and compassion for Bruce over the past ten months,” the message stated.
