Bruce Willis' daughter Rumer Willis provides an update on her father's health, as he continues to battle frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Willis' overall condition is stable, but he experiences painful days that require constant love and support from his family.
Rumer Willis, the daughter of legendary actor Bruce Willis and actress Demi Moore, has shared an update on her father's health, revealing that he is currently in a stable but challenging condition as he battles frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
In an interview with "Today" show hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager, Rumer disclosed that her father is experiencing both good and painful days in his battle with the degenerative condition. Willis, 69, was diagnosed with FTD in February 2023, a year after being diagnosed with aphasia.

"He's doing stable, which in this situation is good. It's hard," Rumer admitted. "There's painful days, but there's so much love, and it's really shown me to not take any moment for granted."
Rumer emphasized the importance of staying present and cherishing every moment with her father. "When you see him, you can't be thinking about what was or what you hoped it would be. You have to be in the moment. You have to be present," she stated.

FTD is a condition that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, leading to a range of symptoms including unusual behaviors, emotional problems, communication difficulties, work-related issues, and difficulty walking. The symptoms can vary depending on the affected areas of the brain.
Willis married actress Emma Heming in 2009, and the couple has two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn. He was previously married to Demi Moore from 1987 to 2000, and they have three daughters together: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah.

Tallulah revealed that she was diagnosed with autism as an adult and spoke about the challenges and lessons she has learned since her diagnosis.
The Willis family has been a source of strength and support for Bruce during his health struggles. They have remained a united front, expressing their love and care for him as he faces the challenges of FTD. Rumer's update provides hope and inspiration to others battling similar conditions, highlighting the importance of resilience, love, and embracing the present moment.
