Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughter Rumer shares what shes learned from her parents

Rumer Willis told Fox News Digital that she learned a lot from her parents just by being on set, and why respect is the most important part of a Hollywood career.

Bruce Willis’ family is leaning on each other as they deal with his ongoing dementia battle. 

Willis and Demi Moore’s eldest daughter, Rumer, gave an update on her father since his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis was announced nearly three years ago. 

"He’s doing great. I think, obviously, as many people in California, the thing we’re all kind of most scared of dealing with is just the fires and wanting to make sure everything is okay," the 36-year-old said on the British talk show, "Loose Woman."

"Because my family, we’re all so close, I think what’s so beautiful is the way that we rally around each other, [it’s] so lovely, because we really are a unit."

The LA fires began in the Pacific Palisades on Jan. 7. Authorities announced Jan. 27 that the death toll had risen to 29. 

"Because my family, we’re all so close, I think what’s so beautiful is the way that we rally around each other, [it’s] so lovely, because we really are a unit."

In March 2022, it was announced that Willis would be "stepping away" from his acting career due to an aphasia diagnosis. It was later announced that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.

"I think the thing that I’m most grateful for is that even when they split up, they created such a beautiful foundation of prioritizing my sisters and I, that I never felt like I had to choose or like, they never played against each other," she remarked on the talk show.

"We were a family, and we still are very much a family no matter what. And not only did I feel like that has set me up in my life to have such a beautiful foundation of my own family, but now, as I’m working through co-parenting as well, I feel deep gratitude for the example they’ve set."

In May 2024, Rumer shared with Fox News Digital that being a mother is "rewarding."

"Honestly, everything’s rewarding. She’s my best friend. I’m away from her for an hour, and I miss her," she said at the time.

The actress did admit she was suffering from a lack of sleep, less from Louetta and more from her own experience shifting into mom mode.
