Each Posts the Same Photo of Willis on Their SNS
Demi Moore: "Our Beloved Husband, Friend"
Hollywood action star Bruce Willis (67), diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, is receiving treatment with the combined efforts of his current wife and ex-wife.
According to British media Daily Mail and others on the 28th of last month (local time), Willis's current wife, Emma Heming (44), has transitioned into a 'dementia specialist' while caring for her husband. The former model is learning how to care for Willis from dementia expert Tiffa Snow.

Willis, star of the movie 'Die Hard' and soon to welcome his first grandchild, announced his retirement last March, citing aphasia. Since then, his aphasia has progressed into dementia symptoms. Frontotemporal dementia, caused by nerve cell damage in the brain's frontal and temporal lobes, affects language and judgment abilities.
Emma Heming's efforts are reportedly supported by Willis's ex-wife, actress Demi Moore (60). Notably, last month, they posted the same photo and similar messages on each other's Instagram accounts, showing active cooperation for Willis's sake.
The photo they posted together shows Willis smiling on a beach at sunset. The ex-wife, actress Demi Moore, and the current wife, model Emma Heming, referred to themselves in the post as the "ladies of the Willis."

Recently, Demi Moore posted on her Instagram, "Since our family shared Bruce Willis's diagnosis, we have received an overwhelming amount of love and support, for which we are deeply grateful," adding, "We have come to understand more deeply what our beloved husband, father, and friend is going through, and so we want to keep you updated."
In her post, Demi Moore drew attention by referring to Bruce Willis as "our beloved husband, father, and friend."
She continued, "Unfortunately, communication difficulties were just one symptom of the disease Bruce Willis is facing," and said, "While this fact is painful, we are relieved to finally have a clear diagnosis." She also included a link about dementia, asking for public interest.
Regarding the close relationship between Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, numerous foreign media outlets reported that even after their divorce, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis have considered each other their best friends for the sake of their children and have supported their kids together.
