Bruce Willis is best known for his time as an actor. Sadly, the star announced his retirement on Mar. 30, 2022, but has since received plenty of support from his fans, friends, and family members. Bruce had been a pivotal figure in the acting world for more than 40 years, which is why fans and loved ones were left heartbroken when they heard the news that he was retiring. During his acting career, Bruce appeared in a variety of films and television shows. Some of his most popular films include "Pulp Fiction," "Armageddon," "The Sixth Sense," "Looper" and the "Die Hard" franchise.

Bruce has been married two times and is the father of five daughters. He first married actress Demi Moore in 1987, and the two had three daughters together: Rumer Willis, Scout Willis, and Tallulah Willis. Although the couple was regarded as a Hollywood powerhouse, they ended up divorcing in 2000 but have remained good friends and great co-parents ever since.

Rumer has gone on to become a star in her own right. Born on Aug. 16, 1988, Rumer grew up with a similar love for the entertainment industry, just like her famous parents. She has appeared in films and TV shows, including "Hostage," "The House Bunny," "Sorority Row," "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," and "90210."

With Bruce experiencing memory loss, among many other health bouts, the Willis household is in need of a light of joy in their lives. After a very public pregnancy, Rumer has finally given birth to her first daughter, as shared on her Instagram account. The post, with more than 130,000 likes and thousands of comments and well wishes, has been circulating on the platform. Read on to learn more about Rumer, her pregnancy, and her new daughter!

On Dec. 20, 2022, Moore's eldest daughter Rumer took to social media to announce her impending pregnancy with her partner Thomas with a carousel of black and white photos. One photo showed Thomas giving Rumer's baby bump a kiss, and another with his face full of joy and excitement. A third photo showed Rumer's silhouette with the bump in full view as she stood by a window.

The child is Bruce and Moore's first grandchild. The photos were reposted by proud mom Moore, who delightfully captioned her post, "Entering my hot kooky unhinged grandma era 🌱"

In March 2023, Rumer and Thomas had a baby shower in LA that was thrown by Moore, Scout, and Tallulah, as reported by PEOPLE. The parents-to-be performed together at the intimate party. And during an appearance on the "Bathroom Chronicles" podcast in February 2023, Rumer revealed that being a mom was something she always wanted.

"It's like one of those weird things that I know sometimes people have such clarity about, like 'Oh, I want to be a musician, I want this,' and it was never a question for me that I wanted to be a mom," she said. 

She added, "And that just felt like such a divine purpose and something that when I started thinking about it, felt like such joy."

The actress mentioned how lucky she was to be surrounded by such a loving and supportive family. "I'm so grateful that I'm so close with my family and I get to rely on them for support," Rumer said. "It's fun to be bringing in the first grandkid in our family, especially because we're such a huge group at this point."

On Apr. 5, 2023, Rumer sat down with PEOPLE to talk about the impending birth that she said had given her family a welcome boost during such a challenging time. She said she hoped her child would be imbued with the same "goofiness" inherent in her family.

"We're a family of weirdos, and I love that so much. I really hope that that is engendered in this child. That's my favorite thing, laughing with my family," she told the outlet.

Rumer said she chose not to know the sex of the baby ahead of the birth, but did plan to follow in her mother's footsteps and opted for a home birth. 

"I think it was always my plan to do it unmedicated. That's how my mom did it, and I grew up knowing that," she revealed.

She said she and her partner also agreed to choose an "interesting, unique and different" name for the baby, particularly seeing the names she and her sisters were given. 

"But then there's a part of me too, that I feel like I have to see (the baby). It's such a weird sensation where you're like, 'I love this kid, this little person so much,' but I don't necessarily know them,' so I have to see who they are and see if that fits," she added.

No matter the name, Rumer knew she could always count on the love and support of her big, blended family.

"It's so fun to be bringing in the first grandkid in our family, especially because we're such a huge group at this point. … We haven't had a little tiny baby in our family in a while. … I'm so grateful that I'm so close with my family that I get to rely on them for support," she remarked. 

On Apr. 18, 2023, Rumer finally gave birth to Bruce's first grandchild. In an Instagram post announcing her birth, Rumer delighted her followers, friends, and family members with the first photo of her beautiful daughter. 

“✨ Louetta Isley Thomas Willis ✨ You are pure magic 🌱,” Rumer wrote in the caption. "Born at home on Tuesday Apr. 18. You are more than we ever dreamed of ✨"

Louetta's first photo was nothing but angelic. Sleeping with one of her hands up to her head and one under her chin, she looks cute with her dark hair. Nestled in a cream-knitted pillow, little Louetta is covered with a woven coffee-colored blanket across her chest. 

Her cuteness is undeniable in the said photo, sending some of her relatives' hearts fluttering at the sight of her. 

Rumer's step-mother, Emma Hemming, commented on the post: "Omg we love her so so much 😍😍😍😍😍" Moore, on the other hand, confessed her love for her first grandchild in the same post:

"Pure love for this little birdie ❤️." 

"Hi my tiny petal. We missed you so much for so long. I'll love you every moment of every day! Youre kooky aunts are obsessed with you," Tallulah, Rumer's sister, commented on the post. 

"She is beautiful!! Congratulations Mama! ♥️ Welcome to this world, Louetta!! 💫⭐️💫," actress Melanie Griffith, Bruce's co-star on "Nobody's Fool," said in the post. 

"The sweetest girl❤️ loving you and your mama endlessly," "Twilight" actress Nikki Reed declared. 

It is not yet known if Bruce has seen his grandchild already, but despite the movie star's health condition, the family remains optimistic. Radar Online learned from an insider that the actor is "determined to stay coherent and lucid" as long as possible to be present and active for his grandchildren and the entire family.
