Demi Moore ‘moves in’ with ex-husband Bruce Willis and his wife following his dementia diagnosis

Demi Moore has reportedly moved in with ex-husband Bruce Willis and his wife Emma Heming, as he continues to battle dementia.

It was revealed last month that Willis, 67, has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a condition that affects his cognitive and movement abilities, for which there is currently no cure.

Moore, 60, is now said to be living with Willis, his wife Emma, 44, and their two young daughters as they figure out the best care for the Hollywood star, following his dementia diagnosis.

“Demi has moved in, and she is not leaving until the very end,” a source told Radar Online.

The insider added that Moore had also stayed with Willis and his wife during the pandemic.

They continued: “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.

“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 second source contested that Moore had “never left” Willis’ home since the pandemic, and is staying on to help care for the Die Hard star. “Now Bruce will leave before she does,” the source noted.

Willis’ wife Emma has since denied this report, writing on Instagram Stories on Wednesday: “Let’s nip this one in the bud. This is so dumb. Please stop.”

This comes after Emma used the social media platform to urge photographers to stop filming and following her husband, after recent footage surfaced of Willis being bothered while out getting coffee.

Emma stated in a video posted on Instagram that being a dementia caregiver is already “difficult” and “stressful”, and that “a lot of education” is needed in understanding the sensitivities of such a situation, as she referred to those intruding.

“Just keep your space,” Hemming said.

“Please don’t be yelling at my husband and asking him how he’s doing, or whatever. Just don’t do it. Give him the space, allow for our family, or whoever is with him that day to be able to get him from Point A to Point B safely.”
