Evelyn and Mabel Have ‘Adjusted’ to Bruce Willis’ Changing Health Says Emma
In 2025, Emma Heming Willis told The Times of London that the couple’s daughters, Evelyn and Mabel, had “adjusted” to the changes in Bruce Willis’ health. The “Die Hard” star was diagnosed with Frontotemporal dementia, or FTD in November 2022.
“You can see the tenderness of it,” she revealed. “The girls don’t need him to be this or do that. They have really adapted to his disease, and they know how to move around him. It’s beautiful, but it’s hard for them. They miss him.”
Emma Moved Bruce Into His Own Home Down the Street From His Girls to Receive 24 Hour Care
So their daughters had a home they could be kids in, and to ensure that Bruce Willis had the 24-hour, around-the-clock care he required, Emma Heming Willis moved her husband to a home down the block from where they lived before his disease progressed.
Although the arrangement is different from their former living situation, it allows Willis to have an atmosphere of calm and for their young daughters to be able to live freely without disturbing their father’s care team. This living situation allows the girls to see their father whenever they want, and for Heming Willis to focus on raising their young family.
She told Good Morning America, “It was the safest and best decision for Bruce and our two young girls. He has the best care 100 percent of the time.”
Heming Willis said to The Times, “Among the sadness and discomfort, it was the right move — for him, for our girls, for me,” she says. “Ultimately, I could get back to being his wife. And that’s such a gift.”
The family continues to be lifted by the well-wishes and support of Willis’ fans worldwide. The Willis clan includes the actor’s ex-wife, Demi Moore, their adult daughters, Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout, and granddaughter Louetta.
Emma Heming Willis, Evelyn, and Mabel are a huge part of the extended family unit Willis and Moore built after their divorce. They remain closely connected and support one another as a blended family, with Willis at its center, navigating the uncertainty of his disease.
