Bruce Willis is continuing to do well, according to one of the latest updates on his health from his family since he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. His oldest daughter, Rumer Willis, 35, stopped by the TODAY show on Wednesday to discuss her upcoming residency at New York City’s Café Carlyle and shared an update on how her dad is doing. “He’s so good,” the musician — who welcomed her first child, daughter Louetta, last year — told TODAY’s Hoda Kotb.
“I actually got to see him right before I came out (to New York). And Lou is just starting to walk a little bit, and she was walking over to him, and it was so sweet.” “It’s so nice because I feel like my dad is just like — he’s a girl dad, through and through,” she continued.
“It almost unlocks that kind of little-kid, girl-dad thing. He’s so sweet with her.” Rumer Willis also opened up about why she and her family have shared so much about Bruce Willis’ health and the progression of his dementia.
“Our vulnerability and transparency as a family about what he’s going through to me is so important because if it can have any impact on another family that is struggling in any way with something like this, or bring more attention to the disease in hopes of finding a cure or anything that can be of service to anybody else, I think is really important,” she said. The Willis family announced in March 2022 that the “Die Hard” star would be stepping away from acting due to health .
