Bruce Willis’s Wife Says She Can’t Be Certain if He is Aware of His Illness

Emma Heming Willis, Bruce’s wife, recently shared that she can’t definitively say if he is aware of his illness. The woman, who has two daughters with Willis, appeared on the Today show and discussed what it means to receive a dementia diagnosis, both for the patient and for their loved ones. She is the one who takes care of Bruce the most.

“What I’ve learned is that dementia is tough. It’s tough on the person being diagnosed, and it’s tough on the family. And this is no different for Bruce, for me, or for our girls. And when I say it’s a family disease, it really is. I think it’s been a blessing and a curse. The fact that I know what’s going on with Bruce makes everything a little bit easier,” Bruce’s wife said, explaining that it’s good to have a comprehensive understanding of the disease, even though it’s painful.
