Los Angeles, California – Former movie star Bruce Willis celebrated Thanksgiving with his family amidst his battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). The 69-year-old actor was captured in heartwarming photos shared on social media, showing him smiling alongside his daughters Scout and Tallulah. Both girls, along with his eldest daughter Rumer, were born during Willis’ marriage to ex-wife Demi Moore. In the pictures, Tallulah can be seen gazing adoringly at Scout as they touch noses, with Willis holding a “Best Dad Ever” plaque, while the caption reads “Grateful.”
Willis was diagnosed with FTD in February 2023, shortly after retiring from acting due to aphasia, a brain disorder affecting speech and language comprehension. Currently married to Emma Heming, Willis shares two young daughters with her. Despite largely staying out of the public eye since his diagnosis, his wife and daughters frequently provide updates on his condition and well-being to fans.
In a recent appearance on Today, Tallulah shared that Willis is “stable” amid his battle with FTD. She described the situation as challenging, with some painful days, but emphasized the love and support present within the family. Alongside Willis, other celebrities took to social media to share their Thanksgiving celebrations. Singer Ciara and her husband Russell Wilson posted sweet family photos on Instagram, with Wilson expressing gratitude in the caption. Similarly, Lily Collins shared snaps of her husband Charlie McDowell and their dog Redford, expressing appreciation for her family and the adventures they share every day.
As Willis continues to navigate his struggle with FTD, the unwavering support and love from his family serve as a source of strength. Despite the challenges, moments like Thanksgiving bring joy and gratitude, reminding us all of the importance of family and togetherness.
