BRUCE Willis has been spotted in a new photo with his ex-wife Demi Moore as she celebrated his 69th birthday.
Bruce was diagnosed with aphasia in March 2022 which later turned into frontotemporal dementia.

The condition is said to cause personality changes, obsessive behavior, and speaking difficulties.
Since then, his family – including Demi, 61 – has rallied around him with a ton of love and support.
Bruce and Demi also share three adult daughters – Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout.
For the actor’s birthday, Demi made a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a recent photo of the two of them.
In the pic, the Die Hard star was sitting in his living room in a plush grey recliner as his ex-wife sat on the arm of the chair.
He had his arm wrapped around Demi and his hand was firmly gripping her upper arm as they stared intently at each other.
In return, she put her hand over his and grabbed his arm with her other hand.
The actress captioned the post: “Happy birthday, BW! We love you and are so grateful for you,” with a white heart emoji.
She also included a photo of Bruce with his grandchild and a throwback photo of him with his daughters.
HEALTH UPDATE
In January, on an episode of Good Morning America, Demi updated Bruce’s fans about his health.
She was speaking to George Stephanopoulos about her role as Ann Woodward in FX’s show Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.
But the spotlight quickly moved to Bruce as George asked for a quick update on the father of her children.
She replied: “I think, given the circumstances, he’s doing very well.
“What I’ll share is what I say to my children, which it’s important to just meet them where they’re at and not hold on to what isn’t, but what is.”
Michael Strahan replied: “Our thoughts are with him and the whole family,” as George thanked her for being there.
GET READY TO TELL ALL
While Demi makes appearances to discuss Bruce’s health, his current wife Emma Heming – who he married in 2009 – has revealed that she’s gotten no support after her husband’s diagnosis.
In February, she revealed her plans to release a book about caregiving as she’s been Bruce’s active caregiver since he was diagnosed.
She’s been talking to the publishing house Open Field about the release.
The book plans to “offer a thoughtful, inspiring guide for those seeking support while navigating a loved one’s dementia.”
In her newsletter, Emma said: “For many people, their first touch point about this disease is received in their doctor’s office.”
She continued: “I think it’s very important how this information from doctor to patient and loved one is relayed.
“Having resources and information readily available is imperative. I know between my experience and other care partners that I have spoken to; our stories are unfortunately similar.”
She said she left her doctor’s office with almost no support or resources.
