Rumer Willis is navigating co-parenting. She says her divorced parents, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, set a ‘top-tier’ example.

Rumer Willis has been on quite the journey since welcoming her daughter Louetta in 2023. She’s become a passionate advocate for moms, especially when it comes to the unrealistic expectations society places on them. Rumer opened up about how overwhelming it can feel, especially with all the noise online telling you that you’re not doing it right. She’s been there, and it really gets her fired up.

Partnering with baby brand Pura, Rumer found herself in the spotlight after sharing her own experiences, like breastfeeding Louetta. She faced a lot of judgment, with people saying things like, “If you co-sleep, you’re a bad mom.” It’s wild how much pressure there is to be the perfect parent, and Rumer is all about breaking that stigma.

Since becoming a mom, Rumer has learned a lot about balancing life and work. She’s part of the “sandwich generation,” caring for her young child while also supporting her dad, Bruce, who has frontotemporal dementia. It’s a tough spot to be in, but she embraces the love she can give to both her daughter and her father.

Rumer knows the importance of self-care, especially as a single mom. She’s been figuring out how to take time for herself, even when she feels the pressure to be productive. Whether it’s a nap or a warm bath, she’s learning that taking care of herself helps her be a better mom.

Co-parenting has its challenges too. Rumer misses having someone to lean on, especially when it comes to everyday tasks. She’s navigating the complexities of co-parenting with her ex, musician Derek Richard Thomas, and emphasizes that their issues shouldn’t affect their child. Her advice to other single moms? Find someone to talk to and process your feelings.

Rumer’s parents, Bruce and Demi, set a great example of co-parenting for her. She’s determined to make it even better for Louetta. And while she’s open to dating again, she’s also learning to pamper herself the way she wishes someone else would.

Looking ahead, Rumer wants Louetta to have siblings. She’s not waiting around for a partner to make that happen. She believes in creating the family she dreams of, no matter what.

Despite the challenges, Rumer feels lucky to have a solid support system. She encourages new moms to ignore the negativity and find their own community. Her mantra? Give yourself grace and trust your instincts. After all, we’re all just trying to figure it out together.

Rumer’s journey has shown her the incredible strength of mothers. She’s faced her own challenges, like battling COVID-19 and the flu while caring for Louetta. But through it all, she’s discovered her resilience and feels proud to be part of the mom club.
