Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s daughters are a close-knit bunch — but even Rumer Willis is aware that some of their family traditions are a bit outside the box.
During a recent appearance on the “What in the Winkler?!” podcast, Rumer, 36, discussed different approaches to sleep training, revealing that she preferred to sleep with her daughter, Louetta “Lou,” in the same bed.
The discussion then turned to her own upbringing and the revelation that growing up, Rumer and her sisters, Scout and Tallulah Willis, were always welcome in mom Moore’s bed.
“Honestly, I hope Lou will, like, still sleep in bed with me when she’s my age,” Rumer told host Zoe Winkler during the Tuesday, April 1, episode.

Rumer confessed, “I still sleep in bed with my mom, and I don’t think it’s weird.”
The My Divorce Party actress, who welcomed her first baby in April 2023 with ex Derek Richard Thomas, went on to reveal that that’s not the only thing from childhood that she still practices.
“We all still take baths together, my sisters and I,” Rumer shared, referring to her siblings who are 33 and 31, respectively. “And that’s just the kind of house that I grew up in.”

Rumer quickly defended her mom, 62, and dad’s relaxed household, saying, “People might think that that’s crazy and weird, but I don’t.”
Bruce, 69, was married to Moore for 13 years before they split in 2000. During their marriage they welcomed their three daughters, whom they have successfully coparented for decades.
“I think the thing I’m most grateful for is that even when they split up, they created such a beautiful foundation of prioritizing my sisters and I, that I never felt like I had to choose or like, they never played against each other,” Rumer recalled of her parents’ coparenting style during a February appearance on Loose Women. “We were a family, and we still are very much a family no matter what.”
She explained that the foundation her parents built helped her navigate her split from Thomas in August 2024. She said it also helped her learn how to coparent herself.
“Not only did I feel like that has set me up in my life to have such a beautiful foundation of my own family, but now, as I’m working through coparenting as well, I feel deep gratitude for the example they’ve set,” Rumer added.
When Bruce married Emma Heming Willis in 2009, his relationship with Moore and their girls remained strong. Heming Willis, 46, who shares daughters Mabel, 13, and Evelyn, 10, with her husband, has also become a part of the now-blended family.

The group has become even closer since Bruce was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and communication disorder aphasia in 2022. The disease, of which there is no known cure, affects how a person is able to communicate and impacts their cognitive abilities.
“He’s doing great,” Rumer said of her father’s health status in February while visiting the British talk show.
She noted that no matter what they face, the Willis crew is solid. “Because my family, we’re all so close, I think what’s so beautiful is the way that we rally around each other,” Rumer gushed. “[It’s] so lovely, because we really are a unit.”
