NY Post
The world loves the Willis family.
Over one year after Bruce Willis’ loved ones came together to reveal that he was diagnosed with dementia, his eldest daughter Rumer Willis, revealed how much the support for her family has meant to her.
“I think it’s such a testament to my dad,” Rumer, 35, told The Post in an exclusive interview promoting her upcoming residency at Café Carlyle.
“And I think one of the most beautiful things … you know, whenever you’re sharing personal news with the world, it can always be a bit scary,” she added. “But I think what’s been so lovely is the amount of people that reach out and just come up to me and share how much they love my dad or what an impact or just sharing that they’re praying for us.”
Rumer continued: “I just have such deep gratitude for the love that comes our way.”
In March 2022, Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and his five daughters released a joint statement informing the world that Bruce, 69, was retiring from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia.
