Grandpa Bruce.
Rumer Willis got his first look at his grandfather, Bruce Willis, as he congratulated actor and partner Derek Richard Thomas on Father’s Day.
The “fathers of old and new” wrote next to an Instagram photo carousel, including a particularly poignant photo of the “Die Hard” star holding her granddaughter Louetta. Others included Thomas with their babies.
“Seeing my father’s daughter in his arms today was something I will treasure for the rest of my life,” she continued. “His sweetness and love for her was so pure and beautiful. Dad, I’m so lucky to have you, and so is Lou. Thank you for being the dumbest, most loving, coolest dad a girl could ask for. Best Girl Dad in the Game…”
The 32-year-old’s mother is Bruce’s eldest daughter from Demi Moore from her first marriage, which ended in 2000. Also, Scout got 31 and Tallulah got 29.
In the same post, Rumer also paid homage to her boyfriend, with whom she shared Louetta, who was born in April.
“one. Happy Father’s Day. Thank you for making a beautiful garden for Lou to play and eat. 🌱. Thanks for filling the house with music for her to hear 🎶 Thanks for the late night diaper changing and silly faces.
“I’m so grateful that our daughter has such a loving father and such a stupid and weird person, so she knows it’s okay with her too. Thank you for the most amazing girl I can imagine in my wildest dreams🧡” he wrote.
Following her post, famous friends like Olivia Munn, Kathy Hilton, and Ricki Lake left sweet comments and loving heart emojis.

The former action star was also celebrated on Father’s Day by his ex-wife Moore and current wife Emma Heming. Heming admitted that his relationship with the actor’s two youngest daughters, 11-year-old Mabel and 9-year-old Evelyn, has changed due to his situation.
“While it may not be ‘traditional’, what he taught them will last for generations. Unconditional love, kindness, strength, compassion, patience, generosity, endurance,” she wrote on Instagram.
Just last month, Rumer’s sister Tallulah wrote an article about her father’s recent diagnosis of dementia.
“Every time I go to my father’s house, I take tons of pictures – everything I see, the situation. “I’m like an archaeologist looking for treasure in things I used to pay little attention to,” he wrote.
“Every voicemail from him is recorded on a hard drive. To remind me of him and us, I realized that I was trying to record, document the day he was not there.
He added that Bruce still knew who he was and “burned out” when he entered the room.
In March 2022, Willis’ family jointly announced that the 68-year-old beloved actor would retire from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia.
Almost a year later, the family shared an update revealing that the “Sixth Sense” star had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
