Emma Heming Willis Defends Moving Bruce Willis to Specialized Care After Online Backlash

She says the decision put safety first for her husband.

Overview

  • Speaking at End Well 2025, Heming called the choice "almost impossible" yet described it as the "best and safest" option for Bruce Willis.
  • She acknowledged the wave of social-media criticism after disclosing his relocation to a nearby residence with round-the-clock professional support.
  • The family previously detailed that Willis’s condition progressed from an aphasia diagnosis in March 2022 to frontotemporal dementia announced in February 2023.
  • Heming says she visits with their daughters and sometimes sees brief flashes of the man she knew, as the blended family maintains simple rituals and moments of laughter.
  • Her new memoir, The Unexpected Journey, offers practical guidance for caregivers that she likens to a GPS she wished she had at the start.
