The 61-year-old actress spoke about her ex-husband while being honored with the Career Achievement in Acting Award at the 2024 Hamptons International Film Festival.

The 69-year-old former actor was initially diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 and then received his FTD diagnosis in February 2023.
He is currently “stable,” Demi told the festival audience.
“You know, I’ve said this before. The disease is what the disease is. And I think you have to be in real deep acceptance of what that is,” she shared. “But for where he’s at, he is stable.”
Despite the challenges, the veteran actress said there can be “great beauty and sweetness” as well.
