Emma Heming Willis has reportedly changed the way Bruce Willis eats, and a source says the shift is already helping the 71-year-old actor. The source said Bruce may no longer be living under the same roof as Emma, but that she is still caring for him and has recently overhauled his meals.
The source described Bruce’s new diet as something closer to that of an Olympian or a pro athlete: ultra-healthy, non-processed whole foods, plenty of water and high-protein meals built around meat and fish. Emma has also been careful not to expose him to any chemicals or additives in food that could make his condition worse, the source said, adding that there is nothing adjacent to fast food or junk food in what he eats now.
That matters because the nutrition shift is being cast as part of a broader effort to help Bruce manage frontotemporal dementia, the condition whose diagnosis was revealed in 2023. The source said Emma’s aim is to keep his condition from worsening and, if possible, to help it plateau or improve, while she watches the latest research around the disease.
Emma’s attention to health is not new. She launched Make Time Wellness in 2023, a women’s supplement brand that supports brain health, while continuing to focus on Bruce’s day-to-day care. The source said she has been revamping his diet recently, and that the change is already benefiting him.
The gap between then and now is stark. Bruce once had an affinity for cheesesteaks, the source said, but what he is eating nowadays is a million miles away from that old diet. The food changes are also being credited as the main reason he still looks like himself and has not packed on weight since his work schedule slowed down.
For Emma, the practical test is whether nutrition can help hold the line on a disease that has no simple fix. The source’s bottom line was plain: Bruce is living better than many people in his situation because Emma is making sure he is eating right, and she is pushing every detail of his diet toward that goal.
