In the last few years, Bruce Willis has had a hard time because of a terrible health diagnosis.
But it looks like he will try his hardest to keep it from affecting his family.
Even more so when it comes to his kids.
And now that Bruce Willis knows his daughter Rumer is going to have a baby, he has said something very sad.
Read on to learn more.
Now, his personal life is in the news almost every day.
And there’s a good reason for that!
Some might say that Bruce Willis has a pretty big family.
The actor from Die Hard has three children with his ex-wife, Demi Moore. They are Rumer, who is 32; Scout, who is 29; and Tallulah, who is 27.
Bruce Willis is married to Emma Heming Willis right now.
And they have two daughters together: Mabel, who is 8 years old, and Evelyn, who is 6 years old.
People have always liked Bruce Willis and Demi Moore because they don’t get into a lot of trouble.
And unlike many other divorced couples, Moore and Bruce Willis have done a great job of co-parenting their kids with very little drama.
But in 2020…
Even though they were no longer married, the two of them did something unusual together.
Due to the global pandemic, millions of people stayed home and did not leave.
Even the rich and famous were not exempt from the lockdown, so Demi had to quarantine with her former husband.
In the summer of 2020, she will also be in quarantine with her three daughters and their partners.
Bruce Willis chose to stay with them, and so they all became one big, happy family.
It was nice to see that a divorced couple could still have such a strong and healthy friendship.
From the looks on everyone’s faces, it was clear that everyone was very happy.
But everyone was thinking about one thing.
What did Emma Hemming Willis, who is now married to Willis, think about this?
It can’t have been easy for your husband to choose to quarantine with an ex.
But, amazingly, she commented on the family photo on Instagram, saying:
Not many can pull that color off! Lookin’ good squad.
Demi didn’t take long to say what she thought about the strange plan.
The actress told her friend Naomi Campbell on her YouTube show, “No Filter with Naomi,” that she spent the first part of her quarantine in Idaho with her ex-husband, their three daughters, and later with Willis’ two younger daughters and his current wife, Emma.
”There’s been a lot of challenges and a lot of tragedy with the pandemic, but I also think there’s been a lot of gifts and blessings.”
She then continued:
I personally feel like I was really grateful for things slowing down and the time that we had. It worked out that Bruce came and spent time with us and then his current wife and their small daughters joined a little bit later when the kids were finished with school.
“It was really a blessing,” she said.
It’s everything that’s come forward has allowed us to reevaluate what’s important and what needs attention that has been overlooked and neglected. It was amazing.
Emma didn’t seem to be having any trouble.
Getting her husband to see how much she trusts and loves him!
Bruce Willis and Emma have a strong and healthy marriage, which is clear.
And their two little girls seem so happy to be part of such a loving family.
But in the past few years.
The family got some heartbreaking news, which made Bruce Willis decide to stop acting.
Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with aphasia, which, according to the Mayo Clinic, is a brain condition that stops cognitive skills from working as they should.
Speech therapy can usually make it better, but,
although most people make significant progress, few people regain full pre-injury communication levels,
the organization says.
Willis’ family said something about the news on social media.
In a post on Instagram, they said:
To Bruce’s amazing supporters, as a family, we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing some health issues and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is impacting his cognitive abilities. As a result of this and with much consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.
“This is a really challenging time for our family and we are so appreciative of your continued love, compassion, and support,” it continued.
We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him.
They concluded:
As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that.
Since the news about Bruce Willis’s health went viral, many celebrities who heard about his diagnosis have spoken out in support of him.
John Travolta, who was in Pulp Fiction with Bruce Willis, wrote a touching tribute to the actor.
In an Instagram post, Travolta said of Bruce Willis that he had a “generous soul.”
Bruce and I became good friends when we shared 2 of our biggest hits together, Pulp Fiction and Look Who’s Talking,
John began.
Years later he said to me, ‘John, I just want you to know that when something good happens to you I feel like it’s happening to me.’ That’s how generous a soul he is. I love you, Bruce.
Bruce Willis has been in many great movies over the years. Even though Pulp Fiction is a big hit, he is best known for his role as Detective John McClane in Die Hard.
Bruce Willis became famous after playing McClane in Die Hard. He then went on to act in movies like The Fifth Element, The Sixth Sense, and Sin City.
Even though Bruce Willis is known as a tough guy in Hollywood, he won a Golden Globe for his role as a private eye in Moonlighting.
Because of his medical condition, he has had to stop acting.
But it looks like Bruce Willis’s career will go somewhere.
He is said to have sold the rights to his digital twin, which will let him act in movies without having to be there.
“I liked the precision with which my character turned out. It’s a mini-movie in my usual action-comedy genre.”
For me, it is a great opportunity to go back in time. With the advent of modern technology, even when I was on another continent, I was able to communicate, work and participate in the filming,
he said in a statement.
“It’s a very new and interesting experience, and I thank our entire team,” Willis added.
Some people are worried, though, about how this new technology might change the world of acting.
“Is he in his right mind to even agree to this? Last I heard, his illness messes with his comprehension too. I just hope he actually agreed to do this and no one is trying to take advantage of him,” one person wrote.
Recently, Willis’s family gave a very sad update on her health.
“They know he won’t be around forever,” an insider said.
So they’re cherishing every single moment.
“Bruce can’t say much, and it doesn’t seem like he’s grasping much of what others say,” the insider continued.
There are days when they see glimpses of the old Bruce, but they are brief and far between.
“It seems he’s slipping further away from them, and it breaks their heart.”
The girls can’t imagine Christmas without Bruce.
“It’s been painful to see him deteriorate. The older girls miss the old Bruce.”
We hope the whole family can be together for the holidays.
Bruce Willis and his family have had some ups and downs since he was told he had cancer.
But it looks like he’s doing everything he can to stay strong for his family.
And when he found out he was going to be a grandfather, a source told the sad news.
His daughter Rumer Willis and her boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas just told everyone that they are going to have a baby.
After the news came out, a source said that “He’s determined to stay as clear-headed and aware as possible for as long as possible.”
They went on to say that he wants his “grandchild to have some happy memories of a grandfather who was present and involved in his or her life.”
But it’s all about time: “Bruce has never backed away from a challenge. He’s dead-set that this new baby is going to get the best he has to offer.”
His family is in our thoughts.
