“Bruce Willis’ ex-wife Demi Moore led the arrivals at a star-studded benefit show honoring the iconic actor amid his heartbreaking battle with dementia.”, — write: www.dailymail.co.uk
After a decades-long Hollywood career, Willis, 70, announced his shock retirement from acting in 2022 after first being diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive disorder.
One year later in February 2023, Willis’ family confirmed that he was suffering from frontotemporal dementia (FTD), a form of dementia that causes a gradual decline in the areas of the brain linked to personality and language abilities.
Since then, Willis has been in the care of his devoted wife Emma Hemming, 47, with whom he shares two young children: Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.
Moore, who was married to Willis from 1987 to 2000, has also supported her ex amid his ongoing health battle, often sharing updates with fans on social media.
And on Wednesday night, Moore attended Soho Sessions’ special event in New York City honoring Willis while raising funds for the non-profit, The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration.
According to the official flyer, the event promised a very special evening and performance ‘in celebration of our friend Bruce Willis.’
Moore looked chic for the event in an all-black outfit that included a black pea coat. a leather turtleneck top and skinny trousers.
The actress, 62, wore her long raven hair down and kept a pair of yellow-tinted glasses over her hazel eyes.
Moore and Willis have had an amicable co-parenting relationship and friendship since their divorce in 2000.
The former Hollywood power couple are parents to three daughters: Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31.
Also in attendance was Willis’ current wife Emma, who mingled with attendees while on crutches.
The 47-year-old, who authored a book this year about being a caretaker, offered a smile to photographers while wearing an all-black outfit similar to Moore’s.
The show proved to be a star-studded night as Willis’ Hollywood pals stepped out in NYC in his honor, including Kevin Bacon, his wife Kyra Sedgwick, Whoopi Goldberg, Michael J Fox, Norah Jones, Alexandra Richards, David Burtka, Steve Schirripa, Keith Richards, his wife Patti Hansen and their daughter Theodora Richards.
