On Father’s Day 2023, “Dancing With the Stars” champ Rumer Willis shared some new photos of her dad, Bruce Willis. In the pics, the “Die Hard” actor held his first granddaughter, Louetta, who was born in April 2023.
“Seeing my father hold my daughter today was something I will treasure for the rest of my life. His sweetness and love for her was so pure and beautiful. Papa I’m so lucky to have you and so is Lou. Thank you for being the silliest, most loving, coolest Daddio a girl could ask for. Best Girl Dad in the game,” Rumer Willis captioned her post.
Bruce Willis was diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, according to the Los Angeles Times. Aphasia is a condition that affects the brain and causes a person to have difficulty forming sentences and understanding written words. About a year later, the Willis family shared another update on Bruce Willis; he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, which can cause loss of speech as well as changes in behaviors and motor skills.
