Michael Tullberg/Getty Images Motherhood had been a goal of Rumer’s long before Louetta was born. “Even my dad puts pressure on me and he is so out of even who I’m dating at all, but he, over the quarantine was like, ‘So I’d like for you to have a son because I need some male energy in this group,’” the actress said during a November 2020 appearance on The Talk. “It’s a lot of women, obviously. He has five daughters and my mom and my stepmom, so there’s just a lot of female energy.” Bruce, 69, and Moore, 61, were married between 1987 and 2000, during which time they welcomed daughters Rumer, Tallulah, now 33, and Scout, now 30. After their divorce, Bruce married Emma Heming Willis and welcomed daughters Mabel and Evelyn in 2012 and 2014, respectively. The Die Hard star was later diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in 2023. In a Thursday update, Rumer said that Bruce is doing “great.” “I love him so much,” she gushed.
