Bruce's Battle
Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in February 2023.
The illness forced him to step away from public life, but those close to him continue to take stock of his condition.
“To Bruce's incredible supporters, as a family we wanted to share that our beloved Bruce has been experiencing health issues and was recently diagnosed with aphasia, which is affecting his cognitive abilities,” wrote Bruce and his family on Instagram at the time of his diagnosis.
“As a result, and with great consideration, Bruce is stepping away from the career that has meant so much to him.”
They continued: “This is a truly difficult time for our family and we so appreciate your continued love, compassion and support.
“We're going through this as a strong family unit and we wanted to bring his fans out because we know how much he means to you, just like you mean to him. Like Bruce always says, 'Live it' and This is exactly what we plan to do together.
Bruce and Demi share three daughters: Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30.
And even though it's been nearly a quarter of a century since the A-list stars split, it's clear that the father of her children still holds a place in Demi's heart.
We wish Bruce and his family all the best as they fight this battle together.
