Back in February, Bruce Willis’ family offered the public another update on his health. “Since we announced Bruce’s diagnosis of aphasia in spring 2022, Bruce’s condition has progressed and we now have a more specific diagnosis: frontotemporal dementia (known as FTD). Unfortunately, challenges with communication are just one symptom of the disease Bruce faces. While this is painful, it is a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis,” read a statement shared on Rumer Willis’ Instagram feed.

In her Vogue article, Tallulah Willis opened up about her personal struggles with her mental health and admitted that she hasn’t been in a good place when learning about her father’s diagnosis. “I admit that I have met Bruce’s decline in recent years with a share of avoidance and denial that I’m not proud of. The truth is that I was too sick myself to handle it. For the last four years, I have suffered from anorexia nervosa,” she explained. She shared that she is doing better post-treatment, but also acknowledges that she’s having a tough time losing her dad little by little. “I keep flipping between the present and the past when I talk about Bruce: he is, he was, he is, he was. That’s because I have hopes for my father that I’m so reluctant to let go of,” she wrote.
