Willis’ family are rallying around the star whose condition has worsened dramatically in the last few weeks.

Bruce Willis’ family are rallying around the star and “soaking up” days with him now they aren’t sure “how much time” he has left.

The beloved Hollywood action star has been spending his days alongside his wife, Emma Heming, ex-wife Demi Moore, and their collective five children.

Willis was officially diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia at the beginning of 2023, nearly one year after announcing his retirement from acting due to aphasia, which causes difficulties with speech.

Since then, his family have continued to share updates on the movie star’s worsening condition on social media.

Now, a source close to the family has revealed that the star’s condition has worsened in recent weeks, and now there are “more bad days” than good.

“Bruce has good days and bad days, but in the last two months, there are many more bad days than good,” a source told US Weekly.

“This experience has brought the whole family even closer together. No one knows how much time Bruce has left, so they’re soaking up every moment they get with him.”

Another source added that the four-time Golden Globe winner “has around-the-clock care, but at least one family member is always with him.”

Willis most recently celebrated thanksgiving with his entire family and was seen beaming in a candid group shot posted to Instagram.

In November, Ms Hemming admitted that she “struggles with guilt” while caring for her husband.

She told Sunday Paper: “I struggle with guilt, knowing that I have resources that others don’t.

“When I’m able to get out for a hike to clear my head, it’s not lost on me that not all care partners can do that.

“When what I share about our family’s journey gets press attention, I know that there are many thousands of untold, unheard stories, each of them deserving of compassion and concern.”

Heming – who has daughters Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, nine, with Willis – went on to share that she hopes to continue to “be an advocate” for those also living her experience. She added: “I see that what I share matters to others who may be struggling, and in a small way makes them feel seen and understood.
