In the wake of the revelation that the Sixth Sense star has been diagnosed with FTD, his family “is all closer than ever,” according to a source.

The source also notes that Emma Heming Willis, who has been married to Bruce for the last 13 years, “has the largest support system” and that “she couldn’t be more thankful” for it.

All of the women who are closest to Bruce, including his ex-wife Demi Moore and their children, Mabel, 10, and Evelyn, 8, whom he shares with Emma, and his three daughters with Moore, 60: Rumer Willis, 34, Scout Willis, 31, and Tallulah Willis, 29, are all a part of this system.

According to the source, when it comes to Emma’s interactions with Mabel and Evelyn, “She is trying to generate as many pleasant memories for them as she can.”

“She hopes that they will always think of Bruce as a fantastic and entertaining father, she wants for them to have the most positive memories possible of Dad.”

“Since we disclosed Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s illness has advanced and we now have a more precise diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (also known as FTD),” the family said in part about Bruce, 67, in the statement that they released on Thursday.

“Unfortunately, difficulties with communicating are only one of the many symptoms that Bruce has as a result of his illness. It is a comfort to finally have a definite diagnosis, despite the fact that this is quite painful “they went on with it.

The family also included the following in their comprehensive statement: “Bruce has maintained throughout his life that he should use his voice in the world to assist others and to raise awareness about critical problems in both the public and private spheres.

We have no doubt in our minds that, if he had the ability to do so at this time, he would want to respond by bringing global attention to those who are also dealing with this debilitating disease and a connectedness with those who are experiencing the impact that it has on so many people and their families.”

They proceeded by saying, “Bruce has always been able to find pleasure in life, and he has assisted everyone he knows in doing the same.” “The fact that he and all of us have been shown the same level of concern by others has been quite meaningful.

During this trying time, the love that you all have shown for our cherished husband, father, and friend has brought us to tears on more than one occasion.”

They closed by singing off, “Emma, Demi, Rumer, Scout, Tallulah, Mabel, and Evelyn.” They thanked the audience for their ongoing compassion, understanding, and respect, saying that it would allow them to assist Bruce in living a life that was as complete as it was possible.

Since Bruce disclosed his first diagnosis and subsequent choice to withdraw from performing, his mixed family has maintained a close relationship with one another throughout the years, and they have been vocal about their support for the actor.

“The recent retirement of Bruce has allowed him to spend more time with his family. He enjoys spending more time with his girlfriends “included the original source.
