In a recent interview on the U.K. chat show Loose Women, Rumer Willis provided an encouraging update on her father, Bruce Willis, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in February 2023. The 36-year-old actress shared that her father is “doing really well,” emphasizing the family’s close-knit nature and their collective support during challenging times.
Rumer highlighted the family’s unity, especially when facing crises like the recent California wildfires. She expressed gratitude for the solid foundation her parents, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, established, noting that even after their divorce in 2000, they prioritized their children’s well-being. This strong familial bond has influenced Rumer’s approach to co-parenting her daughter, Louetta, with ex-boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas.
The Willis family first announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in March 2022, which progressed to frontotemporal dementia by February 2023. Throughout these developments, the family has remained united, showcasing their enduring support for one another.
Rumer’s positive update offers reassurance to fans concerned about Bruce’s health, highlighting the strength and resilience of the Willis family as they navigate these challenges together.
