On February 17, Bruce Willis' wife Emma Heming Willis disclosed on Instagram that her husband has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. Emma shared a photo of Willis standing near a beach and smiling as he looked into the camera.
Willis' family members expressed their gratitude for the love and support they received from the public during all this time and that they wanted to give an update about Bruce’s condition because everyone is well aware of what he has been experiencing. The caption continued,
“Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.”
Willis was previously diagnosed with aphasia in March 2022. His family members shared a picture of him on social media and wrote that the problem has been affecting his cognitive abilities. They mentioned at the time,
“This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion and support. We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him.”
According to the Cleveland Clinic, frontotemporal dementia is a progressive brain disease where brain parts begin to get damaged and stop working properly at one point.
