Rumer Willis recently shared a poignant update on her father, Bruce Willis's, ongoing battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The actor, 70, was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia (PPA) in 2022, leading to his retirement from acting. In a heartfelt response to a fan's inquiry about her father's health, Rumer, 37, acknowledged that it's a 'hard question to answer.' She explained that individuals with FTD are not doing well, but her father is managing 'OK' considering his condition. Rumer expressed her gratitude for being able to hug and show love to her father, even if he doesn't recognize her. She also credited her 2-year-old daughter, Louetta, for bringing joy to Bruce, who shares several children with his ex-wife Demi Moore and current wife Emma Heming Willis. This update comes after Emma revealed that relocating Bruce to a separate home has made him feel 'a lot calmer.' The new living arrangements have been beneficial for his neurodegenerative disease, which requires a serene atmosphere. Rumer's words offer a glimpse into the challenges and triumphs of living with dementia, highlighting the importance of love and support in navigating this difficult journey.
