Demi Moore shared photos from her family’s Christmas celebration at her home, featuring her daughters Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, Rumer’s boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas, and their 8-month-old daughter Louetta. However, noticeably absent from the festive snaps was Demi’s ex-husband Bruce Willis, who is battling dementia.
In the Instagram post captioned “Christmas in Pink!” where the family is dressed in pale pink onesies, fans raised questions about Bruce’s absence. Many comments inquired about his whereabouts and expressed concern.
While it’s unclear how Bruce, his wife Emma Heming, and their daughters Mabel and Evelyn spent the holidays, Emma Heming shared a candid video on December 28 discussing the challenges of the season. She acknowledged that holidays and anniversaries can be difficult and emphasized the importance of building a community and connection during tough times. Emma referred to Bruce’s concept of the “inner circle,” a group of trusted people who provide support.
Bruce Willis announced his retirement from acting in March 2022 after being diagnosed with aphasia. In February 2023, it was revealed that his condition had progressed to frontotemporal dementia. Emma Heming and Bruce’s daughters, along with Demi Moore and her daughters, have been supporting each other through Bruce’s health challenges. Emma emphasized the impact of dementia on both the person diagnosed and their family, describing it as a “family disease.”
