Bruce Willis, who has been battling frontotemporal dementia since 2023, is reportedly “going downhill fast” amid his life in a full-time care arrangement, with reports that he no longer recognizes some faces.
His wife, Emma Heming Willis, recently revealed he is living in a separate home with 24/7 professional care support. Sources say his family continues to spend time with him, and he is said to brighten when seeing his children.
While some social media criticism followed the care decision, insiders say there is no conflict within the family, and everyone is focused on his wellbeing and quality of life.
Emma has also spoken publicly about caregiving, defending her decision and highlighting the challenges families face with dementia. She is also working on a memoir aimed at supporting others in similar situations.
Despite the condition’s progression, sources say the family tries to focus on positive moments, spending time together through visits, conversation, and shared activities.
