Bruce Willis’ daughter Tallulah reveals how she’s coping with actor’s health battle: ‘There’s a lot of love in our meetings’

Tallulah Willis has opened up about her father Bruce Willis’ ongoing battle with frontotemporal dementia and how her family relies on each other for support.

The “Die Hard” actor and Demi Moore’s youngest daughter told E! News in a new interview published Thursday that her father is “doing the same,” which in his situation “is a good thing.”

He said, “There’s a lot of love in our meetings and I think that is the most important thing for me.”

Tallulah said staying “connected” with her father is what keeps her going.

“I know he knows how much I love him, I know how much he loves me — I know how much he loves all of us,” Tallulah said of the rest of her famous family.

Moore’s ex-husband retired from his decades-long acting career in March 2022 after he was diagnosed with aphasia and dementia.

According to the Mayo Clinic, frontotemporal dementia can cause people to have difficulty speaking, affect memory function and behavior, and may even lead to mobility conditions like Parkinson’s disease and ALS.

Despite noting how “difficult” this journey has been for her family, the 30-year-old revealed that Bruce’s health condition has “created an opportunity for more love.”

Tallulah then lovingly credited her sister Rumer , 36, for adding a “center of gravity” point to her loved ones with the birth of her daughter Louetta , 36.

Rumer and her ex-boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas welcomed baby Louetta in April 2023. Tallulah called her a “unifying focal point” for the Willis-Moore family and said they all “love sharing” her.

This experience with her father not only made her “grow more love” for her family, but Tallulah said they now have a “higher level of communication” with each other.

“In the past I might have dissociated or lost focus,” she said of the heavy times. “Now we have more vocabulary that we’ve all learned and that we can use comfortably with each other.”

Rumer shared an update on Bruce’s health on Instagram last Friday, writing that he was “doing great.”

Moore, 61, and her ex-husband welcomed Rumer, 33, Scout, and Tallulah during their 13-year marriage. They married in 1987 and called it quits in 2000.

Bruce later married 46-year-old Emma Heming Willis in 2009 and fathered two daughters. His eldest daughter Mabel was born in 2012 while her younger sister Evelyn was born in 2014.
