I’m not trying to shield them from it.”In addition to the two children he shares with Heming, Willis, 69, has three adult daughters — Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30 — with his ex-wife, Demi Moore.In February 2023, the blended family came together to announce Willis’ frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.
