Bruce Willis’ family doesn’t know ‘how much time’ he has left after dementia diagnosis

Bruce Willis’ family revealed in March 2022 that the prolific actor was retiring after being diagnosed with aphasia.

Now, his ex-wife, Demi Moore, 61, and their daughters — Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah, 29 — as well as the “Die Hard” actor’s spouse, Emma, 45, and their daughters — Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9 — are trying to soak up as much time as they can with him.

Sources tell Us Weekly that the family is rallying around Willis, 68, as he battles the disease.

“Bruce has good days and bad days, but in the last two months, there are many more bad days than good,” one insider explained.

“This experience has brought the whole family even closer together. No one knows how much time Bruce has left, so they’re soaking up every moment they get with him.”

A second source revealed that the loved ones are basically living together, as they’re “all there all the time” at his home.

“Once Bruce was diagnosed, everyone came together to keep his memory of the family intact and to be there as a constant reminder [that they] love him. [Everything] revolves around him,” the source said.

Another insider noted that Moore is the “facilitator” responsible for bringing the family together.

“Sadly, there’s this ticking clock connected to Bruce’s condition,” they added.

“Everyone has come together for Bruce. They’re thankful they have each other.”

The painful moments are at times worthwhile as “it can sometimes be easy to forget that there’s anything wrong with him.”

The source continued: “The smiles and funny faces and laughs come easy. He jokes around in his ‘funny dad’ way. There’s a part of him that will always be a big kid at heart.”

Willis was later diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in February, with his family announcing the news in a joint statement at the time.

“While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,” they said.

“FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone.”

“Bruce has always found joy in life — and has helped everyone he knows to do the same. It has meant the world to see that sense of care echoed back to him and to all of us.”

In October, “Moonlighting” creator Glenn Gordon Caron told The Post that Willis is “not totally verbal” when he visits him.

“I’m not always quite that good but I try and I do talk to him and his wife and I have a casual relationship with his three older children,” Caron said.

“I have tried very hard to stay in his life. He’s an extraordinary person. The thing that makes [his disease] so mind-blowing is [that] if you’ve ever spent time with Bruce Willis, there is no one who had any more joie de vivre than he. He loved life and … just adored waking up every morning and trying to live life to its fullest.”

“So the idea that he now sees life through a screen door, if you will, makes very little sense,” he continued.

“He’s really an amazing guy.”
