Bruce Willis May Not Remember His Mother Marlene As Dementia Becomes More ‘Aggressive’

by Peace A

Published August 5, 2024

Bruce Willis’ struggle with Frontotemporal Dementia has reportedly worsened, as the actor is having a hard time remembering family and friends, including his mother, Marlene Willis. While speaking with Wilfried Gliem of BILD, Marlene expressed her concerns, noting that Bruce’s dementia has become more aggressive.

Regardless of the decline in the quality of his interactions with loved ones, Bruce has so far enjoyed love and support since his diagnosis in 2022. His wife, Emma Hemming Willis, who is his primary caregiver, has been vocal about his progress as an avenue to spread awareness about the rare illness.

A source also attested to Bruce’s forgetfulness late last year, noting that he cannot recall who his ex-wife, Demi Moore, is. The duo shares three adult children, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, and they have co-parented cordially for the last two decades. The insider added that Demi experienced this during a vacation in Italy and was shocked at her new reality.

There is no certainty as to how much time Bruce has left, which is why his family has been making the most of their moments together. Meanwhile, Emma seeks privacy from the media and paparazzi at this time, urging them to avoid startling Bruce in public with questions.
