Bruce Willis ‘found ways to soldier on with acting' amid frontotemporal dementia diagnosis
Bruce Willis was working with directors to continue acting before his diagnosis with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) was made public, his wife, Emma Heming Willis, reportedly claims in her forthcoming book. In March 2022, Willis's family announced that the actor had been diagnosed with aphasia, a language disorder, and would be stepping away from acting as the condition was 'impacting his cognitive abilities'. Nearly a year later, in February 2023, the family provided a more specific diagnosis: FTD, a degenerative brain condition that impacts communication and behavior. The family described FTD as a 'cruel disease' for which there is no cure. However, reports that Heming Willis's book The Unexpected Journey, which she describes as being 'not a memoir but under the category of self-help', will reveal how the actor continued to work despite his condition. 'Before making his condition public, Willis had found ways to soldier on with his acting, having directors scale down his dialogue and getting a trusted friend to feed him his lines through an earpiece on films such as Assassin and the Detective Knight series,' the Australian news site claims. The Independent has contacted representatives for Harding Willis, Willis and Lionsgate for comment. Assassin (2023) and the Detective Knight series (2022-23) were among Bruce's final projects before his retirement from acting. The news site points out that Willis's deterioration wasn't immediately obvious because of the stutter he'd suffered from since childhood. 'It's how I got my sense of humour, because I realised, yeah I stutter, but I could make people laugh by doing stupid stuff,' he once told interviewer Michael Parkinson. Willis first married actor Demi Moore in 1987, and shares three daughters with the actor: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah. The couple divorced in 2000 but remained close friends and continue to spend time together with their blended families. In 2009, Bruce married British-American model and actor Heming Willis, with whom he shares two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn. Revealing her book's cover on Instagram in April, Heming Willis wrote: 'Born from grief, shaped by love, and guided by purpose, this is the book I needed back when Bruce was first diagnosed and I was frozen with fear and uncertainty. 'This is the book I trust will help the next caregiver. It is filled with support, insight, and the hope needed to navigate this journey. 'This book is for all of us finding our way through the unknown with love, grit, and courage. You are not alone.' The Unexpected Journey is out September 9.

Speaking to ELLE in 2023, the Citadel star said of Malti, 'She's got me wrapped around her finger. I don't even know how I'll ever discipline her because I just don't have it in me.' The couple welcomed their first child via surrogate in January 2022. When they announced her arrival, they shared that Malti spent her first 100 days in the NICO unit after a difficult birth. She told ELLE, 'I was so close to losing her so many times that she can get away with anything and I just want to see her happy. I want her to be the happiest. She's a super smiley, happy baby, and that's all my goal is—to see her joyous. Every time she smiles, it lights up my world, and that's all I want to do.' She then shared that her mother, grandmother, and aunts have been positive influences on her own perception of motherhood. 'I've had incredible influences of moms in my life, and now with my mother-in-law [Denise Miller-Jonas] who's this epic, amazing woman,' Chopra said. 'I've not been a mom long enough to be able to take the celebration, but I love to celebrate the moms in my life on Mother's Day.'

Travis Barker ‘Played Peacemaker' Between Kourtney Kardashian and Alabama Amid Bhad Bhabie Drama
Kourtney Kardashian and husband Travis Barker's daughter Alabama Barker have gone through ups and downs of late, but a source exclusively tells In Touch that the Blink-182 drummer has brokered peace between the two. 'Kourtney and Alabama have really turned a corner. Things are in a much better place between them now than they were a month ago,' the insider says. 'Not to say Kourtney doesn't still have her hands full. Alabama's a very feisty free spirit. She's always going to stick up for herself. But thankfully, Travis stepped in to play peacemaker.' The source adds that Travis, 49, sat down with his wife, 46, and daughter, 19, and 'told them how much he loves them, and how important it is for them to support each other,' especially now that they have Kourtney and Travis' young son, Rocky, 19 months, to take care of. 'It was a turning point. Kourtney and Alabama had a real heart-to-heart and decided to move forward with a clean slate,' the source concludes. 'They're not besties overnight, but there's a lot more respect and effort on both sides now. They even had a girls' date recently and got their nails done together. Travis couldn't be happier. His girls finally getting along has taken a huge weight off his shoulders.' Alabama even made her appreciation for her stepmom publicly known on Mother's Day. The rapper took to her Instagram Stories on May 11 with a sweet shoutout to Kourtney. 'Happy Mother's Day to someone who chose to love me like her own,' Alabama wrote. 'You stepped into my life with patience, care, and an open heart, and I'm so grateful for everything you've done to support and guide me. Your presence has brought comfort, strength, and so much love, and I truly appreciate the role you've played in my life. Thank you for showing up, for listening, and for being someone I can count on. You mean more to me than you know.' Travis shares Alabama and son Landon, 21, with ex Shanna Moakler. He is also a stepfather to Shanna's daughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26. Meanwhile, Kourtney shares son Mason, 15, daughter Penelope, 12, and son Reign, 10, with ex Scott Disick. She and Travis welcomed Rocky in November 2023. The blended family recently faced some drama when Alabama entered a feud with former friend Danielle Bregoli, a.k.a. Bhad Bhabie and the 'Cash Me Outside' Girl. In late 2024, Bhabie, 22, accused Alabama of trying to steal her boyfriend and the father of her child, Le Vaughn, while the pair was on a break. Though Alabama admitted to 'spending time' with the rapper, she denied knowing that he was Bhabie's boyfriend at the time. The female musicians' beef turned into a rap battle with one song, 'Cry Bhabie,' from Alabama and three tracks, 'Over Cooked,' 'Ms. Whitman' and 'OG Crashout,' from Bhabie. The 'Hi Bich' singer dragged Kourtney and her family into the drama on 'Ms. Whitman' in February when she twerked on a Travis lookalike in the music video and rapped about Alabama allegedly getting 'kicked out of the Kardashian house.' She even included a line that was seemingly about Kourtney, rapping, 'Your stepmom burnt out.' Later, both Reign and Rocky were brought into the mix. Reign, who typically stays off social media, appeared on an Instagram Live with Alabama's boyfriend, Scooter Jackson, to deny rumors that Justin Bieber was his father. Meanwhile, Bhabie's mom, Barbara, slammed Alabama as a 'little dirty ass hoe' that was 'still talking about my granddaughter yet her daddy has a whole new family. Rocky rules while you're just on your knees,' she wrote in a social media post. While the feud has seemingly since fizzled out, a source exclusively told In Touch in early May that it was 'a huge source of stress' for Kourtney and Travis. 'They're both upset and worried about Alabama and now on top of that, Kourtney's hit the roof because Rocky and Reign have both gotten dragged into the negativity,' the insider added. The source continued, 'Rocky's a baby and he's already getting trash talked in public thanks to Alabama having this toxic feud. And now thanks to Alabama's boyfriend, Reign has had to answer questions from random strangers on the internet about whether Justin Bieber is his dad. It's absolutely horrifying.'
