Demi Moore has stuck by her ex-husband Bruce Willis' side amid his dementia battle despite divorcing in 2000.
"Her heart aches as he struggles with this horrible disease," the source said of Moore, who tied the knot with the movie star in 1987 before the pair welcomed three daughters: Rumer, 35, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30.
"Demi made a promise to Bruce that she would look after Emma and Mabel and Evelyn, too," the insider explained in reference to the Die Hard actor's wife, Emma Heming Willis, 46, and their daughters, ages 12 and 10, respectively.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore share three daughters: Rumer, 35, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30.
According to the confidante, "Demi knows that time is slipping away," which is why "she sees him at least once a week."
"She will never abandon him or let him down," the source said of the Indecent Proposal star.
"Bruce's dementia is progressing," the insider sadly revealed, admitting The Sixth Sense actor "has good days and bad."
"He has speech impairments and can’t speak much at all. These days, his family senses what he’s saying, what he needs by a look," the confidante detailed.

Bruce Willis' blended family has all come together amid their loved one's health woes.
Despite having "full-time caretakers," Bruce is "never left alone" without "at least one family member" by his side.
As Bruce remains plagued by his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis, which his family confirmed in February 2023, the award-winning actor's precious brood has done their best to make small moments special.
