Demi Moore she promised in December that she would soon enter her “crazy, unhinged grandmother era,” and now, with the birth of her first granddaughter, that era now begins.
Moore’s daughter Rumer Willis ( whom she shares with ex-husband Bruce Willis ) and her boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas, welcomed their first child on April 18 and announced the birth on Wednesday, April 25 on Instagram.
“Louetta Isley Thomas Willis,” the joint ad reads. “You are pure magic. Born at home on Tuesday April 18. You are more than we ever dreamed of.”
The accompanying pictures show a newborn with a pretty good dark head of hair sleeping happily in an infant recliner and snuggling up in beige blankets.
Down in the comments, Moore was quick to speak.
“Pure love for this little bird”, he wrote, and said goodbye with a heart emoji.
Moore wasn’t the only proud grandmother, or the only A-list celeb to leave congratulatory messages. Emma Heming Willis, the current wife of Bruce Willis, also stepped in as step-grandmother: “OMG we love her so much,” she wrote.
A parade of other famous accounts also left notes, including Hilary Duff, Claire Holt, Riley Keough, Nikki Reed, Melanie Griffith, Jenna Dewan, Alyssa Milano, Alison Brie, Christie Brinkley, Sharon Stone, and Ricky Lake.
Rumer Willis and her partner announced they were expecting late last year in a sweet post, in which Moore declared she would make one sexy, wacky granny. The couple announced their relationship in 2022.
“In the short time we have been together you have filled my life with joy and peace,” he wrote on Instagram in August 2022. “Everything is so easy with you. We sing, dance, play and above all we laugh. Thanks for being the way you are. You are a magical human. I’m so glad you came into my life.”
It’s the first grandchild for both Moore and Willis, who have long been known as co-parenting targets in Hollywood, often going on vacation and maintaining a friendly relationship. They were married from 1987 to 2000.
In 2022, Bruce Willis began to suffer from cognitive problems and in February, his family revealed that he has frontotemporal dementia. Since then, he has been out of the limelight but surrounded by his family.
Earlier this month, Rumer told People how excited everyone is about the family’s first grandchild.
“[Mis padres] They’re so excited,” she said. “My sisters are so excited and it’s so much fun to bring the first grandchild to our family, especially since we’re such a big group right now.”
