Bruce Willis is living in a second, “safer” home away from his wife and kids to be with his caregivers 24/7, his wife told Diane Sawyer in an interview aired Tuesday.
“It was one of the hardest decisions that I’ve had to make so far,” Emma Heming Willis told Sawyer. “But I knew first and foremost, Bruce would want that for our daughters. He would want them to be in a home that was more tailored to their needs, not his needs.”
Willis and Heming Willis share daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11, while he and his ex-wife, actor Demi Moore, share daughters Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31.
In 2022, Willis’ family, including Moore, announced that he was living with aphasia, which affects one’s ability to communicate, and that he would retire from acting.
The next year, the family said Willis was living with dementia. In the ABC News special with Sawyer, Heming Willis gave an inside look at her husband’s experience with the disease, saying she moved him into a “safer” one-story home so he could be with his caregivers all the time. She said she visits him at the second home every morning for breakfast and every night.
