We are moving through this as a strong family unit, and wanted to bring his fans in because we know how much he means to you, as you do to him.“As Bruce always says, ‘Live it up’ and together we plan to do just that,” the statement, which was signed by his wife, Emma Heming, his ex-wife, Demi Moore, and his five children, Rumer, 33, Scout, 30, Tallulah, 28, Mabel, 9, and Evelyn, 7.According to the Mayo Clinic, aphasia often occurs after a stroke or a head injury, and “robs you of the ability to communicate”.“It can affect your ability to speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written.”According to the New York Post, Willis has multiple film projects completed as well in post-production, including Vendetta, Fortress: Sniper’s Eye and White Elephant.It is unclear what will happen with Fortress 3, which is currently in pre-production.Throughout the pandemic, the Die Hard star’s blended family — including Moore and Heming — have been holed up at their Idaho compound. While the arrangement felt odd to outsiders, Moore said she considered Heming to be her “sister”.“Our children are sisters and yet there is no name for what our family connection is to one another,” Moore wrote on Instagram in March 2021 in honour of International Women’s Day. “We are mothers united, sisters bonded on this crazy adventure of life. Emma is a beautiful mother dedicated to her family, an absolutely gorgeous woman and now she can add business entrepreneur to her resume.“Her drive, determination and passion is uplifting and the woman that she is absolutely inspiring,” she wrote.– with the New York Post
