Emma Heming Willis Is 'Not Trying to Shield' Daughters from Bruce Willis' Diagnosis: 'They Know Daddy's Not Going to Get Better'


Emma Heming Willis says she's "not trying to shield" her daughters from husband Bruce Willis' diagnosis, saying her girls have "grown up" with his "decline." The entrepreneur shares her daughters Evelyn and Mabel with the 'Die Hard' actor.

The entrepreneur, 46, spoke to Katie Couric for Town & Country about her actor husband's frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis, noting that she hasn't kept anything from the couple's two young daughters — Mabel, 12, and Evelyn, 10. "This disease is misdiagnosed, it's missed, it's misunderstood, so finally getting to a diagnosis was key so that I could learn what frontotemporal dementia is and I could educate our children," Heming Willis shares. In addition to Mabel and Evelyn, Heming Willis is also stepmom to Bruce's older daughters Rumer, Scout and Tallulah, who he shares with ex-wife Demi Moore.
