Bruce’s family first announced his aphasia diagnosis in 2022 before revealing his frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis almost a year later. He retired from acting following the diagnosis.

The Sixth Sense star was married to Moore from 1987 to 2000, and the pair shares three children: Rumer Willis (37), Scout Willis (34), and Tallulah Willis (32). Moore and Bruce, who have remained close friends following the divorce, are grandparents to two-year-old Louetta, whom Rumer shares with her ex, Derek Richard Thomas.

Bruce married model Emma Heming Willis in 2009, and the couple went on to welcome two daughters, Mabel (13) and Evelyn (11). Since Bruce’s diagnosis, Emma has become an outspoken advocate on matters relating to FTD and families living with the condition.

Emma also posted a tribute for Bruce’s birthday, writing on Instagram, “Today we celebrate Bruce’s birthday. This journey with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has opened my eyes to the realities so many families face. It’s what inspired me to create The Emma & Bruce Willis Fund to raise awareness of FTD, support research, and stand beside the caregivers who carry so much every day.”

The eldest daughter of Bruce and Moore previously said how much it means to her that her parents are still close friends, despite divorcing over 25 years ago. “I think one of the most beautiful things to witness about my parents’ relationship still is just their love and support of each other,” she told People in October 2024.
