Demi Moore and Bruce Willis are often regarded as the most amicable ex-couples in Hollywood. The pair, who have been married for 11 years and have three daughters, Rumer, 34, Scout, 31, and Tallulah, 28, have become even closer since Bruce’s aphasia diagnosis.
The degenerative illness diminishes a person’s ability to comprehend and communicate in the language.
Bruce Heming, the actor in Die Hard, said earlier this year that he would retire from acting due to sickness, along with his children and his 13-year wife, Emma Heming.
According to a source, Demi has kept in touch with Bruce and Emma regularly. She will call the phone if she is not at his side just so Bruce can hear her voice. She is doing everything she can to be with him.
The entire family is rallying behind the 67-year-old celebrity. According to the insider, they know he will not be present indefinitely. As a result, they appreciate every minute.
Demi and Bruce’s extended family, including his two kids with Emma, ages 10 and 8, frequently vacations in Idaho.
“It was always a special occasion,” stated the insider. The favorite family traditions, such as pajama parties and game nights, survived.
Demi and Emma’s friendship has become stronger as they both struggle with Bruce’s decline. His wife is now serving as a middleman between their ex-partners.
“Bruce can’t say much, and it doesn’t appear like he understands much of what others say,” an insider said. Emma has been his major spokesman and communication channel.
Despite his worsening condition, his loved ones are doing everything they can to keep him alive, especially with the holiday season approaching.
“There are occasions when they catch glimmers of the old Bruce,” the insider claimed, “but they are few and far between.” They are heartbroken because he appears to be sliding further away.
They are all eager to spend the holidays with their adored father. “The girls can’t imagine Christmas without Bruce,” a source alleged. The older girls miss the old Bruce, who used to mock them about their boyfriends and give them advice. “It’s been awful to see him deteriorate.”
“All they can do is tell him they love him and hope for a holiday miracle with Christmas right around the way,” the insider stated.
Olympic runner hospitalized after being ‘set on fire by boyfriend’ following return from Paris games
Rebecca Cheptegei, an Olympic distance runner, suffered a 75% burn to her body during the ordeal.
According to authorities, a Ugandan athlete who lives in Kenya was burned by her lover and is currently undergoing treatment for 75% of her burn injuries. Distance runner Rebecca Cheptegei, who placed 44th in the 2024 Paris Olympics marathon with a time of two hours, 32 minutes, and 14 seconds, is said to have been attacked in her home in western Trans Nzoia County.
During a fight on Sunday (September 1), Dickson Ndiema, Cheptegei’s lover, bought a can of gasoline, poured it on her, and lit her on fire, according to Trans Nzoia police commander Jeremiah ole Kosiom.
Both Ndiema and herself are undergoing specialized care at the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret City after Ndiema also suffered burn injuries.
Cheptegei’s parents said their daughter purchased land in Trans Nzoia so she could be close to the several sports training facilities in the county.
Before the fire started, the couple was heard fighting over the property where the house was erected, according to a report submitted by the local chief.
Local media sources report that Cheptegei’s condition is critical.
On social media, the Ugandan Athletics Federation (UAF) has addressed the issue.
“We regret to announce that our athlete Rebecca Cheptegei, who competed in the Olympics, has suffered severe injuries and is hospitalized at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret,” the organization tweeted today (September 3).
People have subsequently offered their support for the Olympian as she heals from the traumatic incident.
“Wishing her a quick recovery,” one person wrote.
A second user expressed similar feelings, writing, “Sad to hear this. Wishing her a swift recovery.”
“There are no words. “Best wishes for her recovery,” said someone else.
A different person wrote, “This is so tragic.” I wish her a swift recovery and hope that she receives justice.
Sadly, Cheptegei’s case is not the first of its kind.
Damaris Muthee, a Kenyan-born Bahraini athlete, was discovered dead in 2022 after a post-mortem investigation revealed she had been strangled, while Agnes Tirop, a two-time World Athletics Championships bronze medalist, was found stabbed to death in 2021.
