In an Instagram post, actress Rumer Willis lists a series of milestones she’s achieved over the past year. Among other things, she mentions the birth of her daughter Louetta Isley last year with her boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas.
“Last year was incredibly dynamic. I carried a human being and gave birth at home, without painkillers, surrounded by my family,” Willis writes.
The year also marks seven years of sobriety, she writes, as well as her becoming more comfortable in her own skin.
Willis also writes that he had “precious, precious moments, full of love” with his father, actor Bruce Willis, in 2023.
In February last year it became known that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia. Frontotemporal dementia, a common term for dementia caused by damage to the front of the brain. There are many variations of the disease, but they have similar symptoms, changes in personality, behavior and speech.
– Unfortunately, communication difficulties are just one of the symptoms of the diagnosis Bruce is facing. It’s painful, but also a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis, the family said in a joint statement on Instagram.
A year earlier, he had had to put his acting career on hold due to aphasia, a condition that affects his ability to express himself and understand language.

Willis concludes in the Instagram post:
“I don’t know what next year will bring, but damn, I can’t wait to see what happens next.”
Rumer was only seven years old when she made her big screen debut alongside her mother in the 1995 film “Now and Then.” Since then she has had roles in films such as “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “The Truth Before Us” as well as acting on Broadway.
