Demi Moore is honoring her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, in a heartfelt way that moved fans and friends alike. The Daily Mail reported that the 61-year-old actress attended a special gala in New York City on Wednesday, November 5, dedicated to raising awareness and funds for frontotemporal dementia, the condition Willis has bravely been battling since 2023.
The event, hosted by Soho Sessions in partnership with The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, was held âin celebration of our friend Bruce Willis,â according to the official flyer shared by Daily Mail. Moore was joined by Willisâ wife, Emma Heming Willis, who has become a strong advocate for dementia awareness and caregiving since his diagnosis.
The night drew an outpouring of love and support for the âDie Hardâ star, with celebrity guests including Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, Whoopi Goldberg, and Michael J. Fox in attendance.
Moore & Heming Willis Stand United for Bruce
Moore and Heming Willis, who have worked together to support Bruceâs health journey, shared the evening in solidarity. Since Willisâs diagnosis, the two women have often been seen publicly supporting each other, united in ensuring the actorâs care and comfort.
Moore and Willis, who divorced in 1998, have remained close friends and co-parents to their three daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. Their blended family has long been admired for its mutual respect and harmony.
Demi Moore Praises Emma Heming Willis for Her Strength
During a recent appearance on The Oprah Podcast, Moore opened up about Heming Willisâ strength in caring for Bruce.
âI have so much compassion for Emma in this, being a young woman,â Moore said. âThereâs no way that anybody could have anticipated where this was going to go. And I really think sheâs done a masterful job. She has been so dedicated to forging the right path. Sheâs had equal amounts of fear and strength and courage in navigating this.â
Moore continued, âItâs hard to see somebody who was so vibrant and strong and so direct shift into this other part of themselves. But my particular perspective is, one, I really always say itâs so important just to meet them where theyâre at. Donât have an expectation of them needing to be who they were or who you want them to be.â
Bruce Willisâ Health Journey Continues
Willis, 69, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in early 2023 after retiring from acting due to aphasia the year before. His family has been open about his ongoing health challenges and their commitment to ensuring he receives the best possible care.
In September, Emma Heming Willis revealed that her husband now lives in a separate residence where he can receive round-the-clock professional support in a calm, secure setting. âItâs whatâs best for him and for our family,â she shared at the time.
Through it all, both Demi Moore and Heming Willis have remained steadfast in celebrating Bruceâs legacy, his strength, and the deep love that continues to surround him. Their united front has served as a powerful reminder of family, compassion, and enduring devotion.
