And Louella also brings much joy to her famous grandmother, Demi Moore.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘They love each other. I mean, you should see her face light up when they’re on FaceTime when we’re away,’ Rumer said of Louella and her mother Demi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘She just gets so excited and it’s sweet, and my mom is so incredible with babies. She always has been, and so it’s such a delight to see them together,’ she said, adding they were ‘so silly and wonderful.’<\/p>\n

Baby Louella has clearly made an impact on Rumer’s family.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year The House Bunny star gushed to DailyMail.com that she feels ‘very blessed’ to be Louetta’s mom and that she is ‘the most amazing kid.’<\/p>\n

‘She’s so happy and wonderful and smiley. She’s joyful all of the time.’<\/p>\n

The Willis family has remained extremely tight knit despite Demi and Bruce’s divorce in 2000 after 13 years of marriage.<\/p>\n

They celebrate holidays together along with Bruce’s wife, Emma Hemming Willis, and their two young daughters and they have rallied around the Glass actor amid his tragic health battle.<\/p>\n

Rumer said that baby Louetta’s ‘face lights up’ when she hears her phone’s FaceTime ringer as she knows it’s an incoming call from family.<\/p>\n

‘She’ll try to grab the phone and see who’s on it and her face lights up with a megawatt smile.’<\/p>\n

Rumer also gushed over how ‘sweet’ it’s been to see Demi become a grandmother.<\/p>\n

‘I think grandmas are inherently very different than how they are as mothers to a certain extent because it’s all of the joy [of a child] without any of the responsibility,’ she explained. ‘There’s just such sweetness.’<\/p>\n

Bruce was stepped away from public life after his diagnosis of frontotemporal aphasia in 2022.<\/p>\n

The condition progressed and the family announced he was suffering from frontotemporal dementia in 2023.<\/p>\n
