Bruce Willis Moves to Separate Home Amid Dementia Progression

Emma Heming Willis has shared the difficult decision to move her husband, actor Bruce Willis, into a separate, single-story home with round-the-clock care due to his progressive frontotemporal dementia (FTD). She explained to their daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, that the new living arrangement was necessary to provide Bruce with tailored care while allowing the girls more freedom and a home suited to their needs, describing the new house as their "second home" filled with their belongings. Despite understanding the need, Emma admits the transition was painful and not part of their original plans. Emma has also addressed public criticism following the announcement, emphasizing that only those who have experienced the challenges of FTD can truly understand the necessity of such decisions. She stressed that Bruce's needs are fully met in the new setting, which offers a calm and safe environment essential for his condition. The family continues to navigate the emotional and practical realities of Bruce's illness while focusing on his well-being and their children's stability.
