"Demi has been in constant contact with Bruce and Emma," an insider close with the famous brood recently told Radar Online, referencing Willis’ current spouse, model Emma Heming.

Considering their close relationship, the Ghost icon is purportedly “taking every opportunity she can to spend time with him” amid the actor’s struggles with the progressive condition, which can impact speech and communication abilities.

“If she's not there by his side, she's calling on the phone just so Bruce can hear her voice,” they shared of the exes’ close friendship. "They know he won't be around forever, so they're cherishing every single moment."

"There are days when they see glimpses of the old Bruce, but they are brief and far between," the insider explained. "It seems he's slipping further away from them, and it breaks their heart ... all they can do is tell him they love him and pray for a holiday miracle,” they added.
