Proud Grandma Demi Moore and Family Share Emotional Journey of Rumer Willis’ Home Delivery in Pictures

The Willis/Moore blended family had a memorable Mother’s Day this year. Rumer Willis gave birth to her daughter, Louetta Isley Thomas Willis, in a beautiful home birth surrounded by loved ones. The family also gathered to honor the mothers in their lives and captured the moment through a collection of personal pictures, showcasing their strong connection and leaving viewers inspired.

Home births are safe among women with low-risk pregnancies.

Although home births continue to enjoy popularity, they still constitute a mere 1.26% of all births in the United States. The allure of delivering a child in a familiar environment and exerting greater influence over the birthing process attracts many individuals to this option. Cultural or religious considerations may also influence the decision. Furthermore, in certain regions, home births offer a financially advantageous alternative to hospital deliveries.

Rumer Willis had always harbored the intention of having an unmedicated, at-home birth, following in the footsteps of her mother. In her memoir, Demi Moore revealed her personal choice of delivering all three of her daughters naturally, driven by her desire “I wanted to feel every sensation, to be completely present and conscious for every moment of the delivery, no matter how painful.”

It takes a village to raise a child, and, luckily, the Willis and Demi Moore blended family is more than equipped to take on this task.

During Rumer’s childbirth, she was enveloped by the presence of her mother and sisters. Recently, they unveiled a series of deeply personal photographs captured during this enchanting occasion. Each snapshot served as a heartfelt homage to the remarkable women and mothers within their families. Bearing witness to this profound experience only intensified our admiration for the resilient women who hold a significant place in our own lives.

At 60 years old, Demi Moore unveiled a heartwarming snapshot of herself cradling her granddaughter, Louetta. Accompanying the post was a caption that poignantly highlighted “the circle of life,” alluding to the poignant contrast between her own experience of giving birth to her eldest child decades ago and the current joy of embracing Rumer’s precious firstborn. Emma Heming, the wife of Bruce Willis, added a touching comment, exclaiming, “Oh, that’s beautiful!”

“Bursting with love,” Scout LaRue Willis wholeheartedly wished her sister Rumer a joyous Mother’s Day, recounting how witnessing Rumer “literally open up and become a portal to heaven” had left her with the most profound experience. Expressing deep appreciation, Scout thanked her sister for creating her newest, tiny best friend — baby Louetta Isley Thomas Willis. She further reflected on the remarkable sight of their mother, Demi, imparting guidance and support to Rumer during the initial weeks of motherhood, describing it as one of the most beautiful things she had ever witnessed.

For Rumer Willis, the joy of having become a mother, with her family’s unconditional support is the greatest gift she could ever ask for.

Rumer Willis wrote a letter to her "precious daughter, Louetta, expressing her excitement for her daughter’s arrival and the joy she has brought into her life. “I hope you never stop wanting to sleep next to me or take baths with me,” she explained, adding, “You are the most beautiful creature I have ever met. I still wake up every morning and can’t believe you are mine.”

The new mother revealed that every moment, contraction, and amount of pain of birth was all worth it, and she’d do it all over again, a thousand times over, just to spend one second with Louetta.

Expressing her heartfelt gratitude, Rumer Willis extended her appreciation to her partner, Derek, for the precious gift of their beautiful daughter. She acknowledged his vital role in the birthing process in “catching our girl as she came into the world and for holding such a beautiful space for me as I brought her into the world.”

Rumer also expressed profound gratitude “To my sisters, my best friends, my partners — to have you there to share at the moment that I was able to bring my girl into the world is a moment I will never forget. You have watched and supported me on the journey and know what it meant to bring another precious girl into our lineage. I love you, my girl. You are the greatest joy and gift of my life.”
