Emma Heming Willis, 47, recently shared with ABC’s Diane Sawyer that shifting Bruce from the family home was essential for their daughters, Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 11. “Bruce would want that for our daughters,” Emma expressed. “He would want them to reside in a home tailored to their needs, not his.”
However, insiders claim, “Emma faces immense pressure. Not only is she overseeing Bruce’s care, but she is also managing his vast fortune—a situation that has frustrated Bruce’s other family members.”
Sources close to the matter reveal: “Everyone senses a potential financial battle looming, even if they aren’t speaking about it openly.”

Actress Demi Moore, 62, who was married to Bruce for 13 years before their divorce in 2000, shares three daughters with him: Rumer, 37, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, 31. Despite their separation, Moore and Willis maintained a close relationship, even enduring quarantines together during the pandemic alongside Emma and the children.
To this point, the family has managed to present a united front; however, Emma’s recent increased involvement in Bruce’s financial matters poses a challenge to this bond.
A source shared, “Before Bruce’s illness, he independently handled financial decisions, but now Emma is required to step in. This responsibility was never sought by her, but as his spouse, it now falls squarely on her shoulders. This enormous responsibility is fostering friction with Demi and the older daughters, who are equally concerned about protecting his legacy.”

However, there’s an omnipresent cloud lingering—who will control his $250 million fortune? Given his illustrious career, disputes like this are inevitable.

He amassed this wealth to secure his family’s future, and she feels a strong duty to ensure that both her daughters and Demi’s children are cared for,” a family source revealed.
