Emma Heming Willis gets by with a little help from her family.
The 47-year-old British-American model and author has assumed the rule of caretaker of her husband, Bruce Willis, amid his ongoing fight against frontotemporal dementia. After courting controversy last week for revealing she and Willis live separately to accommodate a 24-hour health team that aids the ailing actor, Heming Willis sat down for an interview on The Oprah Podcast, where she was greeted with a familiar face.
"We spoke to Demi Moore recently on this podcast and had the chance to ask her a few questions [about] the family's experience," host Oprah Winfrey told Heming Willis, before cutting to video of Willis' first wife, who shared in a separate July interview, "I have so much compassion for Emma in this.... There's no way that anybody could have anticipated where this was going to go, and I really think she's done a masterful job."
Nodding her head in thanks after the tape rolled, Heming Willis commented, "Beautiful."

In her earlier conversation with Winfrey, the Oscar-nominated star of The Substance sympathized, "There is no roadmap for how to deal with this." Moore revealed that even though "our family is very connected...so much fell on Emma to really figure this whole thing out."
Moore continued, "The most important place for me is showing up and being present, just being present. Because if you project where it's going, it only creates anxiety. If you replay where it was and what you've lost, it only creates anxiety and grief. So when you stay present, there is so much, and there's still so much of him there. It may not always be verbal, but it is beautiful, given the givens."
Heming Willis seconded Moore's feeling: "She's right. It's about seeing there is beauty there, right? As hard as it is to lose someone that we love, we are able to tap into what is."

In an interview with ABC News correspondent Diane Sawyer last week, Heming Willis characterized her decision to currently live apart from Willis with their two daughters, Mabel and Evelyn, as "one of the hardest decisions that I've had to make."
Amid some backlash to the decision and scrutiny of her motives, Heming Willis defended herself, noting in a video shared to her Instagram on Friday, "Everyone will have an opinion, but you have to remind yourself that most don't have the experience to back it up... And if that's the case, they shouldn't offer their two cents about it, and you shouldn't pay them any mind."

Moore and Willis were married from 1987 to 2000, but remain close. Heming Willis, who married Willis in 2009, frequently joins the superstar actors' three children — Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah — in sharing glimpses of the entire family gathering for celebrations, or just to spend time with Bruce.
"Love you so much. Love him. Love our family," Tallulah wrote in a comment on a solemn Father's Day post Heming Willis shared in June, dedicated to "all the dads living with disability or disease, showing up in the ways they can and to the children who show up for them."
