The 62-year-old actress spoke openly about the difficult changes in her ex-husband’s behavior due to the disease and supported all of Heming’s decisions regarding Willis’s care.
“A lot has fallen on Emma,” Moore said during her participation in Heming’s interview on Oprah Winfrey’s podcast. “And the most beautiful thing was recognizing the importance of caregivers and that they need to take care of themselves. If they don’t take that time to make sure they’re well, they won’t be able to help anyone else.”
“I have so much compassion for Emma, being a young woman,” she continued. “There was no way anyone could predict where this was going to lead, and I really think she has done a masterful job. She has been so dedicated to walking the right path. She had equal parts fear, strength, and courage to navigate through it,” she added.
Demi’s statement comes shortly after Heming explained in an interview with ABC at the end of August that she had to make the difficult decision to move Willis to a separate house, where he can receive the necessary full-time care.
“It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made so far,” she recalled. “But I knew, above all, that Bruce would want this for our daughters,” said Heming about Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11.
Moore also admitted the difficulty and sadness of witnessing the health of her ex-husband, with whom she has three daughters, decline over the years: “It’s hard. It’s hard to see someone so vibrant, strong, and determined transform into these other parts of himself,” she declared.
“But you know, my particular perspective is just one. I always say it’s very important to simply meet them where they are. Don’t create expectations that they need to be who they were or who you want them to be, and when you do that, I realize there’s an incredible sweetness and something soft, tender, and loving,” she concluded.
