Bruce Willis' Family Opens Up About His Illness:

Earlier this year, Willis' family revealed the actor had been officially diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) after it was announced last year that the actor would be retiring from acting.  Willis' family released a joint statement, which you can read below:

"As a family, we wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for the outpouring of love and compassion for Bruce over the past ten months," the Willis Family wrote. "Your generosity of spirit has been overwhelming, and we are tremendously grateful for it. For your kindness, and because we know you love Bruce as much as we do, we wanted to give you an update."

They continued, "Since we announced Bruce's diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce's condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis." You can read more here.

Heming also sent out a plea for privacy for the family, writing, "If you are someone who is looking after someone with dementia, you know how difficult and stressful it can be to get someone out into the world and to navigate them safely, even just to get a cup of coffee. So, this one is going out to the photographers and the video people that are trying to get those exclusives of my husband out and about. Just keep your space."

We're sending well wishes to Bruce Willis and his family this Father's Day.
