The 69-year-old former actor was initially diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 and then received his FTD diagnosis in February 2023.
He is currently “stable,” Demi told the festival audience.
“You know, I’ve said this before. The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is,” she shared. “But for where he’s at, he is stable.”

“What I always encourage is to just meet them where they’re at. When you’re holding on to what was, I think it’s a losing game,” she said. “But when you show up to meet them where they’re at, there is great beauty and sweetness.”
Demi and Bruce tied the knot in 1987 and were one of Hollywood’s most iconic couples. They became parents to three daughters—Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30.
Despite finalizing their divorce in 2000, they have remained close over the years. Demi has also been actively involved in his life since his FTD diagnosis.
The actress noted that she visited the Die Hard star “two days ago” with her grandaughter Louetta, born to her oldest daughter Rumer.

“And being able to share with whatever we have, for however long we have it,” she said about the time she spends with him.
Years after his divorce with Demi, Bruce went on to marry Emma Heming Willis in 2009 and has been with her since.
They share two daughters, Mabel Ray, born in 2012, and Evelyn Penn, born in 2014.
“We simply adore him. What you might not know, but maybe you could imagine, that being wrapped in his arms is the safest place in this whole wide world,” she wrote in a heartfelt birthday tribute to him in March.
“He’s a true gentle-man. With so much love to give and share. That’s what I get to see, his true core. I can tell you, it’s so pure and ever so good,” she added. “ … You are the gift that keeps giving.”

Seeing Bruce Willis decline tugs at the heartstrings. Same with many others, I grew up watching his many movies and TV shows. It's like seeing someone I know decline (I know it's not but can't help how I feel). I feel for his family.

Asking whether it's beneficial to stay in touch after a divorce as though that's up for judgement is bizarre. Every couple is different. Bruce and Demi never lost love for each other at the most basic familial level. Their romance may have waned but they are like best friends that always have each other's back in life and that is so beautiful to see. We could all wish for a friendship so deep.

Plus, Demi is the mother of Bruce's three oldest children, she will be a part of his life in some way regardless of any health issues or if they had stayed amicable after their divorce.
