Bruce Willis' brave battle with dementia. Family's heartfelt support

The entire world could sense that something was amiss with Willis. Recently, the esteemed actor was associated with particularly disappointing projects, and some observers remarked that he appeared to be confused about his roles on set. Their observations were not misplaced. In the spring of 2022, the American actor was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a condition that, among other symptoms, manifests as aphasia (difficulty with speech) and a noticeable decline in cognitive functions.

Since the diagnosis, the star's relatives have occasionally shared the latest or nostalgic photos of Willis with fans. Discussing his disease openly has been part of their strategy to raise as much awareness as possible about this condition. Willis receives support from his current wife, Emma Hemming, whom he married in 2009, and their teenage children and his former partner, Demi Moore. The eldest daughter from their relationship has recently become a mother herself.

Exactly a year ago, Rumer Willis proudly shared the results of a photoshoot she participated in, showing her in the late stages of pregnancy. Today, her daughter Louetta celebrates her first birthday. For this special occasion, the 34-year-old posted several photos on her Instagram profile, capturing moments before, during, and shortly after birth. These images also include other family members: Aunt Tallulah, Scott LaRue, Grandma Demi, and Grandpa Bruce. In one photo, we see only his profile with a tiny hand reaching out to him.

In the caption, Rumer expresses her gratitude towards her loved ones for their support and extols her child as the "most delicious, most beautiful, smartest, funniest, sweetest" she knows. She reflects on how quickly the year has passed, marking it the best year of her life. A few weeks ago, his eldest daughter shared a gallery of her childhood photos with her dad to celebrate Willis's birthday.
