bruce willis is now residing in a separate “second home” near his primary residence to receive 24-hour care, his wife, Emma Heming Willis, shared with Diane Sawyer on Tuesday night.
The update comes as the actor’s family has revealed he is experiencing dialog challenges. Leading up to the interview, Emma heming Willis spoke about the “Die Hard” star’s condition, stating his brain is failing him.
A Difficult Decision Made for Family
Emma Heming Willis described the move as one of the most challenging decisions she has faced. “But I knew, first and foremost, Bruce would want that for our daughters,” she explained. The decision to move Bruce into a separate home was made to better manage his care and minimize agitation caused by noise, a factor that exacerbates his condition.
This realization prompted critically important changes within the family. Emma Heming Willis stopped hosting playdates and sleepovers for their daughters, acknowledging the uncertainty parents might feel. She admitted, “I didn’t know if parents would feel cozy leaving their kid at our home. I isolated our whole family, and that was by design. …That was a hard time.” The isolation, while difficult, was deemed necessary to prioritize bruce’s well-being.
Despite the physical separation, the family remains deeply connected. “we’re there a lot,” Emma Heming Willis stated, emphasizing that the second home is “filled with love and warmth and care and laughter.” She also expressed gratitude for the unwavering support from Bruce Willis’ friends, who “bring in life and fun,” providing vital companionship and positive energy.
