Rumer Willis confirmed on Thursday that she and her longtime boyfriend have broken up. During an Instagram Ask Me Anything (AMA) session, Willis revealed that she is now single and focusing on co-parenting her daughter, Louetta, whom she welcomed in April 2023. The actress expressed gratitude for her daughter, stating that Louetta is the best thing in her life.
Willis and her former boyfriend, a frontman for Vista Kicks, had been romantically linked since at least August of the previous year. The couple confirmed their relationship in November 2022 with affectionate images shared on social media. Thomas had previously paid tribute to Willis on her birthday, expressing joy and ease in their relationship.
In December 2022, Willis announced that she and Thomas were expecting their first child. The couple chose the name 'Louetta' for their daughter, initially attributing it to a typo but later revealing that it was a combination of names honoring influential musicians.
Rumer Willis later clarified that the name Louetta was a tribute to her father, Bruce Willis, who is battling dementia and aphasia. She explained that the name was derived from Louie Armstrong, Etta James, and the Isley Brothers, reflecting her and her father's favorite singers.
