Bruce Willis's wife Emma Hemming shuts down rumors Demi Moore has 'moved in' to help with ailing actor
UPDATE: Bruce Willis's wife Emma Heming has said that the rumors of the actor's ex Demi Moore moving in with them to help care for the actor are false. She wrote on Instagram: 'Let's nip this one in the bud. This is so dumb. Please stop.'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Demi Moore wants to do everything she can to help her ex-husband Bruce Willis as he battles dementia. She has reportedly moved in with his current wife, Emma Hemming, and their two young daughters.
Moore, 60, and Hemming, 44, are helping each other out as the heartbroken family announced that the 'Die Hard' star, 67, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia on February 16. The tragic update came after it was revealed that the actor had aphasia, a language disorder that affects a person's ability to communicate. He was forced to step away from acting in March 2022 due to his condition, which typically occurs after a brain injury or stroke.

'Demi has been a rock'
"Demi has moved in, and she is not leaving until the very end," sources close to the family told Radar Online, noting how the 'Striptease' actress also stayed with her ex's family during the Covid-19 pandemic. "At first no one outside the family could understand what Demi was doing living with her ex and his new wife, but now it makes sense," the insider continued, adding, "Demi has been a rock for the family and is determined to make sure every day Bruce has left on earth will be filled with love." A rep told the outlet that Moore "hasn't gone all in" on the new living arrangement, but another source claimed the actress "never left" after staying with them through the pandemic. "Now Bruce will leave before she does," the source added.
'They know he won't be around forever'
Willis' ex and his current wife have become very close as his health continues to deteriorate. "Demi has been in constant contact with Bruce and Emma," a source reportedly said earlier this year, adding, "She's taking every opportunity she can to spend time with him." The family has been spending as much time with the legendary action hero as they can." "They know he won't be around forever," another insider spilled, adding, "So they're cherishing every single moment." They are reportedly hoping for a miracle, especially considering his daughter Rumer is pregnant with his first grandchild.
'Painful to see him deteriorate'
"He's determined to stay coherent and lucid for as long as possible so his grandchild can have some happy memories of a grandfather who was present and active in his or her life," Willis' friend reportedly said in February, adding, "He's dead-set that this new baby is going to get the best he has to offer."
The embattled actor's downward spiral has been hard for his oldest children to watch. "It's been painful to see him deteriorate," the source said, adding, "The older girls miss the old Bruce — the one who used to tease them about their boyfriends and give them unsolicited advice." Moore and Willis are closer than ever in the wake of the actor's health struggles. The duo has long been considered the friendliest exes in Hollywood. They were married for 11 years and share daughters Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 28.
