Demi Moore has opened up about her ex-husband Bruce Willis‘ health as he continues his battle with frontotemporal dementia. During an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the 61-year-old actress reflected on her connection with Willis and how their family has rallied together during these challenging times.
Barrymore took a moment to remember their time working on the 2003 film Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, where Willis made a brief cameo.
“When we did Charlie’s Angels, Bruce came and played on it, and he opens up the film. And we got to work with him,” Barrymore recalled.
“I mean, I used to know him when he was a bartender at Cafe Central!. I’ve known him my whole life, too. How is he right now?”
Moore replied: “Given the givens, he’s in a stable place.”
Moore and Willis, who were married from 1987 to 2000, have remained close, sharing three daughters-Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. Despite their divorce, their bond has stayed strong over the years, and Moore has remained involved in Willis’ life and family events, including his marriage to Emma Heming Willis.
The two families have blended seamlessly, with Moore often participating in special occasions alongside Willis, Emma, and their two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn. The closeness of their family became especially clear in 2020 when they all quarantined together in Idaho during the pandemic, showing how united they’ve remained through thick and thin.
Moore’s advice to her kids
In her conversation with Barrymore, Moore opened up about the emotional toll Willis’ diagnosis has had on their daughters. She mentioned that her priority is to make sure they embrace every moment with their father. Moore emphasized that spending as much time together as a family is now more important than ever.
“What I say to my kids is ‘you meet them where they’re at. You don’t hold on to who they were or what you want them to be, but who they are in this moment’,” Moore explained. “And from that, there is such beauty and joy and loving and sweetness.”
