Bruce Willis' Wife Shuts Down Claims That Demi Moore Is Moving In After His Diagnosis

Emma Heming, Bruce Willis' wife, has denied rumors that Demi Moore, his ex-wife, moved in to help care for him as he copes with his Dementia diagnosis.

According to Radar, it was suggested that Moore, 60, was taking care of the 67-year-old Die Hard actor alongside his wife Emma Heming Willis, 44, and their two young girls. Heming has denied the rumors.

On Instagram, she posted on Wednesday: 'Let's nip this one in the bud. This is so dumb. Please stop.'  

Frontotemporal dementia is Bruce's battle, which Emma discussed earlier this week.

The actress allegedly "never left" her pod with her husband's family, according to a source, despite Moore's rep assuring Radar that she was not committed to living with Bruce and Emma.

Bruce spent some time hanging out in Sun Valley, Idaho, with Demi and their grown children during the height of the pandemic.

Emma was initially supposed to participate in the unusual arrangement, but she was put off after one of her and Bruce's daughters accidentally poked herself with a hypodermic needle discovered in a park.

Emma chose to postpone her trip so she could take the girl to the doctor, while her husband left early for Idaho. Emma and Bruce are the parents of two daughters, Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8.

Bruce was previously said to be " determined to stay coherent and lucid for as long as possible," according to a source who spoke to the publication, in order to make a good impression on his future granddaughter from his eldest daughter Rumer Willis.

In late December, she and her partner Derek Richard Thomas revealed they were expecting their first child.

After learning that her husband, Bruce, had frontotemporal dementia, Emma made an effort to "raise awareness" of the condition on Tuesday.

Willis, 44, discussed using her platform to raise awareness of the condition in a video that was uploaded to her Instagram account.

'I just saw something about me getting my five minutes, which is great. Which means that you're listening. So I'm going to take my five minutes and I'm going to turn it into 10 because I'm always going to advocate for my husband,' she began.

'And, while I'm at it, I'm going to raise awareness around FTD and for caregivers, who are unsung heroes out there. And then, and then, I am going to turn my grief and my anger and my sadness and do something good around something that feels less than. So, watch this space, because I didn't come to play.'

It has been a year since Willis' family revealed the 67-year-old star would be retiring from acting following his aphasia diagnosis. His relatives reported last month that the illness had developed into frontotemporal dementia.

The lobes of the brain that control behavior, problem-solving, planning, and feelings are affected by FTD.

The post was captioned: 'Just over here turning my 5 mins into 10. I’ve sat around quietly for too long and I’m so ready to be embraced by this solid and loving community my family and I find ourselves in while trying to lift them up in return. Let’s go. #ftdawareness #dementiaawareness #caregiversupport'.

Willis had previously made an emotional appeal for advice on how to help their loved ones with dementia negotiate an outside world safely.

The Instagram video was published on Saturday by Heming Willis, who claimed it was intended to "raise awareness about dementia."

'If you are someone who is looking after someone who has dementia, you know how difficult and how stressful it can be, just to get them out into the world and navigate them safely - even just to get a cup of coffee.'

Following his own diagnosis, the actor's wife asks for guidance on how to handle this with her husband in her caption.

'To other caregivers or dementia care specialists navigating this world…. Any tips or advice on how to get your loved ones out in the world safely? Please share below.'

Frontotemporal dementia in Willis can present with symptoms like personality changes, trouble speaking, and motor impairment.

For the first time since his family disclosed he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, the Hollywood legend was spotted out and about last week (FTD).

Willis and Moore, 60, who he was married to from 1987 to 2000, have three children together: Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 29.

When nerve cells in the lobes behind the forehead die and the connections between them alter, FTD occurs.

The meaning of words and the names of things are processed by the left temporal lobe. The right can identify people and recognizable items.

Alzheimer's disease symptoms go beyond the simple memory loss that is a symptom.

These include personality changes like losing all tact, losing interest in other people, and losing empathy; repetitive and compulsive behaviors like hoarding; craving unhealthy food; ignoring table manners; and speaking issues like slurred speech and grammatical errors; among others.

At the end of March, Bruce's blended family released a statement saying that he was "stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him."

He has "some health issues and has just been given the diagnosis of aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities," according to the statement.

On the sets of his movies, Willis allegedly battled cognitive problems for years; he even required an earpiece to give him lines.

His declining cognitive ability had been a well-kept secret in Hollywood, an unidentified source told Page Six.

Even the renowned actor can be seen wearing an earpiece in a scene from his most recent film, American Siege, which was shot in 2020. This occurred more than two years before Willis's family revealed that he has aphasia.

Another insider informed OK! Magazine that Willis was observed using an earpiece to receive lines for his Broadway debut in Misery in 2015.

Additionally, he was allegedly having difficulties while the 2019 movie Glass was being filmed.

Willis's long career, which covered decades, and during which he won two Emmys and a Golden Globe, came to a stop with the announcement of his retirement.
