Rumer Willis Says Bruce Willis May Not Always Recognize Her During Visits

Rumer Willis describes inconsistent recognition during visits, reflecting the realities of frontotemporal dementia.

Overview

  • In an Instagram Q&A this week, she said she is grateful she can still hug him and feel mutual love even when he does not recognize her.
  • She added that she still sees “a spark” in him despite the progression of his illness.
  • She often brings her nearly two-year-old daughter, Louetta, and recalled a “sweet moment” the toddler shared with her grandfather.
  • She told followers it is difficult to answer how he is doing because “nobody with frontotemporal dementia does well.”
  • The family says he now lives in a separate residence with 24-hour care, a change Emma Heming called a difficult but beneficial step for him and their younger daughters.
