Demi Moore, 62, was spotted at New York’s JFK Airport this week, cradling her long-haired chihuahua Pilaf while dressed in a chic white tee, jeans, and a black coat. The sighting comes as the actress balances a career revival with supporting her ex-husband Bruce Willis, 70, who battles frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Moore, recently acclaimed for her Oscar-nominated role in The Substance, has remained a pillar for her blended family as they rally around Willis. The Die Hard star’s decline has united his ex-wife Demi, their three daughters (Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah), his current wife Emma Heming, and their two youngest children, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.

In a heartfelt interview on Oprah Winfrey’s podcast, Demi opened up about the emotional toll of Willis’ condition. “It’s hard to see someone so vibrant shift into another version of themselves,” she shared. “Meeting him where he’s at—not clinging to who he was—is key. There’s still sweetness and love there, even if it feels more childlike now.”

FTD, which affects personality and language rather than memory, has reshaped life for Willis’ family. Emma Heming, his primary caregiver, recently released a memoir, The Unexpected Journey, detailing their experience. She revealed the “hardest decision” was moving Bruce to a single-story home with full-time care, allowing their daughters to visit him daily. “Bruce would want their needs prioritized,” Emma explained during an ABC special with Diane Sawyer.

Despite online criticism over the living arrangement, Emma emphasized the importance of caregiver self-care. Demi praised her resilience: “There’s no roadmap for this. Emma’s done a masterful job balancing his care and their family.”

Willis retired from acting in 2022 after his aphasia diagnosis, later progressing to FTD. His family has since focused on creating moments of joy. “Bruce is still mobile and in good physical health,” Emma noted. “His brain is failing, but he’s very much here.”

Amid the challenges, Demi’s career continues to thrive. Her role in The Substance has sparked Oscar buzz, proving her enduring star power. Yet, her priority remains family, embodying the grace she described: “Staying present—not dwelling on the past or future—is what matters most.”

Key Points:

• FTD Impact: Affects behavior, language; no cure.
• Family Unity: Blended family supports Bruce collectively.
• Caregiving Reality: Emma’s memoir highlights resilience and tough choices.
• Demi’s Resurgence: Balances Hollywood success with personal devotion.
