As a devoted fan who has followed Rumer Willis’ journey through the years, it is heartbreaking to see her and Derek Richard Thomas part ways. However, I am overjoyed for them both as they navigate this new chapter of their lives with unwavering dedication to their precious daughter, Louetta.

Rumer Willis and Derek Richard Thomas have chosen to end their relationship. On August 22, 2024, Willis announced the separation during an Ask Me Anything (AMA) Uncensored session on her Instagram Stories. When a follower inquired about her current relationship status with Derek, Willis replied that she is single and focusing on parenting.

Despite being apart, Willis conveyed his gratitude towards their daughter Louetta Isley Thomas Willis. Born on April 18th, 2023, sweet Louetta is now 16 months old. When discussing his daughter, Willis shared, “She is the greatest blessing in my life and I am eternally thankful for the time spent in that relationship, as it allowed her to be a part of mine.”

Willis and Thomas prioritize co-parenting their child, keeping her at the heart of their lives, and Willis considers motherhood as her greatest joy and a deeply fulfilling chapter in her life.

It’s not precisely known when Willis started dating Thomas, but there are assumptions that it was around the year 2022. They made their relationship public and announced they were having a child in December of that same year.

On August 16th, 2022, which was Rumer’s birthday, he shared a heartfelt post on Instagram expressing his profound affection for her. He mentioned that despite their limited interaction during that phase, she managed to bring joy into his life.

They appeared to have a robust relationship as they rejoiced over shared accomplishments, such as Father’s Day in June 2023. Thomas penned a touching homage to both his partner Willis and daughter Louetta, expressing the depth of his affection for each of them. This heartfelt message underscored the love-filled experiences he had with Willis while navigating the journey of parenthood together.

Moving ahead independently now, Willis and Thomas remain equally devoted to their child, Louetta. Although their romantic bond has ended, they share an unbreakable connection through parenthood. Willis finds immense happiness and satisfaction in embracing her maternal role, and it brings her great joy.
