Bruce Willis' wife reveals how often she visits her husband in his new Los Angeles home amid dementia battle

Emma Heming Willis placed her husband Bruce Willis in his own home as he battles frontotemporal dementia.

And this week the 47-year-old author revealed on the Conversations With Cam podcast how often she sees the Die Hard actor.

The former model visits the 70-year-old Hollywood star 'all the time,' she said, as his home is very close to her own.

She and their two children - daughters Mabel Ray, 15, and Evelyn Penn, 11 - have dinner with the icon several times a week and Heming often drops by for breakfast with her spouse.

Willis is more comfortable in this new home because it is fully staffed up to help him.

She said: 'We are over there all the time. It is our second home, and it's a place where we make memories and that house supports Bruce's every need, 24/7 and our other home, where our kids are, now they're supported, now their needs are met and that's worked so well for us.'

And he has been 'thriving' in the new environment, she said.

In 2019, Bruce and Emma purchased a 13,048-square-foot mansion in Brentwood, Los Angeles, for approximately $9.8 million. 

The gated, three-level estate features seven bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, an indoor spa, a home theater, a gym, and a pool.

Not much is known about the former action star's new residence. 

Willis was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023.

She also said that moving Willis into the home was 'one of the hardest decisions' during his health struggle.

She told the Conversations With Cam podcast: 'It did not come easy. Caregivers are faced with really hard decisions and we have to do what is the best for our family, what's the safest for our person.'

She added: 'Bruce wouldn't want his two young daughters to be clouded by his disease. I know that.

'They weren't having sleepovers, play dates. We weren't inviting people over … it was a really hard time.

'The decision didn't come lightly, but it was the right one for our family. Our children are thriving, and so is Bruce, and that is the most important.'

Earlier she told The Sunday Times newspaper: 'Among the sadness and discomfort, it was the right move — for him, for our girls, for me. Ultimately, I could get back to being his wife. And that's such a gift.'

It has also given Bruce more freedom to reconnect with friends and family. She explained: 'It’s made such a difference for more friends and family to have their own experience with him without it being my home, without me hovering, or my anxiety of how to manage the guest and their expectations, and then have to see their reactions - their sadness at what is.'

In the same Conversations With Cam podcast interview, Heming said that her husband is not aware he has dementia.
