Rumer Willis is single again. She has separated from the father of her daughter.
Rumer Willis (36) and Derek Richard Thomas (30) are no longer a couple around 14 months after the birth of their daughter. Willis has now confirmed this on Instagram. During a question and answer session in her story, the eldest daughter of action star Bruce Willis (60) and actress Demi Moore (61) was asked whether she and Derek were still a couple. She replied: “No. I am a single mother and I am co-parenting.”
She is “so grateful” for her daughter Lou (full name Louetta Isley Thomas Willis), who was born on April 18, 2023. “She is the best thing in my life and I am forever grateful that I had the time in this relationship for her to come into my life.”
The 36-year-old did not reveal when and why Rumer Willis and Derek Richard Thomas split up. The two are said to have been a couple since around 2022. On US Father’s Day in June 2024, Thomas raved on Instagram nor from his partner. Addressing his daughter Lou, he wrote: “Thank you for existing and thank you to your mother @rumerwillis for being my loving partner on this journey of parenthood. I love you both.”
Rumer Willis would also have more children on her own
In her Instagram story, Rumer Willis also admitted that she would like to have more children – “6 or 7,” wrote the 36-year-old. She would have them on her own because “having siblings is one of the best parts of my life.”
Her sisters Scout (33), Tallulah (30), Mabel (12) and Evelyn (10) are her “best friends and my favorite people.” She wants the same for her own daughter and is therefore “open to whatever that looks like in the future.”
Father Bruce Willis is doing “great”
During the question and answer session, Willis also gave an update on her father’s health: “He’s doing great. I love him so much.” Bruce Willis’ family announced in February 2023 that the actor had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. A year earlier, they had already made it public that the Hollywood star was suffering from the speech disorder aphasia. As a result, he withdrew from public life.
