Bruce Willis and Emma Heming, a former model, have been married since 2009 and have two daughters, Mabel13 years old, and Evelyn, 11. The divorce from Moore had arrived in 2000, but the two actors have always remained very tied, also thanks to the presence of three daughters: RUMER, TALLULULAH AND SCOUT THE RUE, So much so that over the years there have been moments together, from holidays to the most important holidays. A link now strengthened by Willis’s disease, supported by his entire family, albeit in the inevitable difficulties: “It’s difficult. It is difficult to see someone who was so vibrant, strong and so determined to transform himself into another part of himself », Demi Moore continued by intervening in the Podcast of Oprah, “but you know, my particular perspective is … I always say that it is very important to meet them as they are. Don’t expect me to be who they were or who you want to be, and when you do it, I find that there is an incredible sweetness and something soft, tender and loving ». The actress then put the emphasis on what is really important for her at this stage: «Being present, simply being present, because if you project where she is going, you only create anxiety. If you think back to where it was and what you lost, you only create anxiety and pain ». And again: «When you stay present, there is so much, and there is still so much of him there. And it may not always be verbal, but it is beautiful, given the circumstances ».

The decision to move Willis to another house was inevitable, albeit certainly not easy. “It was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make so far,” Emma Heming had revealed on August 27 in an interview with Diane Sawyer aired on the ABC, “I knew, first of all, that Bruce would have liked this for our daughters. You know, he would have liked to live in a house more suitable for their needs, not to his ». Statements that had soon triggered fierce criticisms, so much so that the former model had felt compelled to replicate, through a video on Instagram: «I knew that, sharing such intimate information, they would be created two sides: on the one hand those who have only one opinion, on the other who really has experience». And again: «It is yet another demonstration of What the caregiver must fight every day against: the judgment of others. Too often they are judged quickly and unjustly by those who have not lived this path or have never found themselves on the front line ».

Today the family lives a new normality, made of daily visits and many moments together, albeit in a different way from how it had been so far. Demi Moore is right: in some cases it makes no sense to dwell on what has been before, it only counts the present and the way you live it, day by day.
