Women’s bodies change after giving birth, and for some that can be a difficult fact to face. This is especially true because society is not always kind to aging women. Rumer Willis is celebrating every inch of her new body since giving birth to her daughter Louetta on April 18, 2023. Rumer shares Lou with her partner Derek Richard Thomas.
It was not always easy for Rumer growing up in the limelight. She often wished for a different physical appearance because of her famous parents, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. Now, she is leaving all that behind.
Rumer accompanied her daring photo with a long caption explaining its significance. “This body of mine made a human from scratch,” she begins. “And she looks and feels a little different now but I am truly in awe everyday when I look at my daughter and see her smile or look at her perfect face and tiny toes and the way her eyes light up when she wakes up in the morning and recognizes my face. She is the love of my life.”
Rumer goes on to admit she wasn’t always this comfortable in her own skin. “This body of mine that I spent so many years trying to shape and mold into what I thought was desirable or made me feel good in clothes, is a little softer and rounder and jiggly and different and that’s ok, more than ok it’s kind of amazing because I grew a person inside of it,” she continues. “This little being that I love with a fierceness and wonder that reaches new levels everyday.”

Rumer is thankful for all her body’s hard work. She loves it just exactly the way it is. “In the ongoing process of transformation, I am grateful for every twist and turn,” she explains. “My breasts, might be bigger and perhaps ever so drifting downward but what a gift and privilege that they can feed and provide nourishment for my Lou. They also make a fantastic pillow while we cosleep. My hips and tummy, now softer and rounder, cradle my daughter in safety, warmth, and love.”
She concludes by adding: “The most profound beauty I’ve ever felt in myself emerges from remembering daily, to not reject these parts of me, but just embrace and give them such deep gratitude.”
