Bruce Willis’ first daughter, Rumer Willis, held an “Ask Me Anything” session via her Instagram stories, and a concerned fan took the chance to ask about her dad. “How’s your dad doing? Sending love to all you guys,” they wrote. Rumer’s response was a bit of relief for those who might have had the same thought.
She replied saying, “He is great. I love him so much. Thank you,” with a background photo of them holding hands. This comes after the mother of one’s 36th birthday, which she celebrated on a beach with her baby, Louetta Isley Thomas.
Rumer Willis answers when asked how dad Bruce Willis is doing
Bruce’s family, including Rumer, have been vocal about his condition ever since he was correctly diagnosed with Frontotemporal Dementia in February 2023. Rumer has granted multiple interviews and audiences to educate the public or to simply share what it is like caring for a demented parent.

In May, she disclosed that Bruce enjoys grandpa time with Louetta, whom she shares with her ex-boyfriend, Dereck Richard Thomas. She noted that watching Bruce now gives her a glimpse of him as a girl dad in his prime. She made sure to add that he was doing good healthwise.
Rumer shares her reasons for being public about her family
For Rumer, not shying away from talking about Bruce is a service to the public as it helps create awareness about Frontotemporal Dementia and provides a community for affected persons. Her stepmother, Emma Heming Willis, who married Bruce in 2009, also shares the same sentiment.
Rumer’s mother, Demi Moore, has also been supportive. However, reports say Bruce has a hard time remembering her or that they were married in the past. Regardless, the retired actor is not lacking love, as he is surrounded by fans and loved ones during these tough times.
