The new mom — whopostedabout her at-home birth and Moore's help through it — said in 2020 that she was glad she waited for the right partner before becoming a parent.
"It's important to wait. I think it's so important not to rush in and have it be about the lust or about, you know, that immediate connection, then building a real foundation,"she saidwhile guest co-hosting onThe Talkin November 2020.
She also joked at the time about how Bruce —who has three daughters with Moore and two with his wife Emma Heming Willis— had told her he was hoping for a grandson. "Even my dad puts pressure on me. Over quarantine, he was like, 'So I'd like for you to have a son because I need some male energy in this group.' It's a lot of women, obviously. He has five daughters and my mom and my step-mom. There's just a lot of female energy."
In the years since, theDie Hardstarhas been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, but Rumer has said she "loves watching" her parents with their granddaughter. "Seeing my father hold my daughter today was something I will treasure for the rest of my life. His sweetness and love for her was so pure and beautiful,"she wrote.
