Rumer Willis announced on Instagram that she is expecting her first child. The eldest child of Demi Moore (Ghost) and Bruce Willis (Die Hard) shared a black and white picture of her and her musician boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas to announce the news.
The news was released just nine months after the actor from Die Hard’s family disclosed that he had been suffering from aphasia and would be “moving aside” from performing.
Celebrating the news, Moore wrote on Instagram that she was “entering my hot wacky unhinged grandma phase.”
Detective Knight: Independence, one of the final films in which Willis will star, saw the debut of its teaser on Tuesday.
What has Bruce Willis stated regarding being a grandfather? Here is what we currently know.
The actress Demi Moore and her ex-husband Willis, who divorced in 2000, have a daughter named Rumer. Among the films in which the 34-year-old actress has acted are Hostage, The House Bunny, Sorority Row, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
She participated on and won season 20 of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” in 2015, and in September of that same year, she made her Broadway debut in “Chicago” as Roxie Hart.
She has been dating Vista Kicks frontman Derek Richard Thomas from the year 2020. Thomas is a musician.
On Wednesday, Rumer revealed her pregnancy in an Instagram post (21 December). A black and white image of the 34-year-old and her boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas, kissing her growing baby bulge was uploaded along with the news.
The identical pictures were also posted by Moore on Instagram with the comment “Entering my hot wacky unhinged grandma period.”
Thursday’s second Instagram post from Moore contained a picture of Rumer receiving an ultrasound with the following message: “Saying hello to the little nibblet!! I’m so happy for you, Rumer, my dear. I’m excited to welcome this baby into the world and am honored to see your transition into motherhood.
“Happy about becoming a grandpa,” said Bruce Willis. He enjoys having a large family, they continued.
Bruce is loving not working and having more family time, the insider said in reference to Willis’ decision to announce his retirement from acting. He like to be near his girls more.
Rumer disclosed her father’s desire to become a grandfather on The Talk in November 2020, admitting that the actor had put “pressure” on her to conceive “a son” while she was under lockdown.
He remarked, “So I’d like for you to have a son because I need some masculine energy in this group,” over the quarantine, the woman recalled. elaborating: “Obviously, there are a lot of women. Along with my mother and stepmother, he has five daughters. Simply said, there is a lot of female energy. Still, I think, “OK, I want to be careful who I do that with.”
But it’s vital to wait, she continued. It’s crucial, in my opinion, to hold off on rushing things and making it all about lust or that instant connection before laying a solid basis.
The actor declared his retirement from acting in March 2022, citing his aphasia. At the time, Rumer posted a statement to Instagram that read: “To Bruce’s incredible fans, as a family we wanted to communicate that our darling Bruce has been going through some health challenges and has recently been diagnosed with aphasia, which is affecting his cognitive ability.
“As a result of this and after careful contemplation, Bruce is leaving the profession that has meant a great deal to him. Our family is going through a tremendously difficult time right now, so we greatly appreciate all of your love, sympathy, and support. We are dealing with this as a solid family and wanted to invite his fans because we are aware of how important they are to both of you.
“Live it up,” as Bruce often says, and that is exactly what we intend to do together.
According to the NHS, persons with aphasia frequently struggle to understand and use language, as well as to read, write, type, speak, and listen. Aphasia is a disorder that affects communication.
