People might find that unusual or strange, but I don’t.”
Co-Sleeping with Mother and Daughter
Willis also mentioned that she “still sleeps in bed” with her mother, Demi Moore, age 62, who recently received accolades for her role in The Substance. Furthermore, Rumer expressed her hope that her own daughter, Louetta, will continue to share her bed even as she grows older. “I honestly hope my daughter Lou will, like, still sleep in bed with me when she’s my age…I co-sleep with Louetta and have not spent a night apart from her since she was born.”
Celebrating Daughter Louetta’s Second Birthday
Louetta Isley Thomas Willis, Rumer’s daughter, is set to celebrate her second birthday on April 18. The proud mother shared an affectionate message on Instagram, stating, “Literally never been more in love with anyone in my whole life.”
