Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Rumer still takes baths with sisters
Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter Rumer Willis shed some light on her uniquely close bond with her mother and sisters, admitting that some might view a few of their rituals as unconventional.
During a Tuesday appearance on the "What in the Winkler?!" podcast, the 36-year-old actress told host Zoe Winkler that her daughter, Louetta, who turns 2 this month, still sleeps in her bed.
"I co-sleep with Louetta and have not spent a night away from her since she was born," Rumer said.
"I hope Lou will still sleep in bed with me when she's my age," she added. "I still sleep in bed with my mom and I don't think it's weird."
The "Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood" actress revealed that she and her sisters Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 31, have also carried on one of their childhood practices after becoming adults.
"We all still take baths together, my sisters and I," Rumer said. "And that's just the kind of house that I grew up in."
"People might think that that's crazy and weird, but I don't," she quickly added.
Rumer further explained her point of view, saying, "I always think about it as, imagine if you took a baby gorilla or a dog when it was two weeks old or three months old, and had it sleep in a different room than [its] mom."
"Everyone would look at you like you were crazy," she continued. But yet we're like, 'Oh no, that kid can sleep through the night. It's got to fend for themselves, got to learn how to self-soothe.' They can't even feed themselves!"
"By the way, we as adults don't even know how to self-soothe," she added. "People drink wine, people do drugs, people eat an entire tub of ice cream."
Rumer shares Louetta with her former boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas, and the two have continued to amicably co-parent their daughter since their split last August.
Moore and Bruce divorced in 2000 after 13 years of marriage. Following his split from the actress, Bruce married model Emma Heming Willis in 2009 at their home in Turks and Caicos, and they tied the knot again six days later in Beverly Hills.
The couple welcomed daughter Mabel in 2012 and daughter Evelyn in 2014.
Despite their divorce, Moore and Bruce remained close friends and co-parents. The blended family has celebrated holidays and vacationed together. Moore, Emma and their daughters with Bruce have also put on a united front regarding the actor's dementia battle.
In March 2022, the family announced that Willis would be "stepping away" from his acting career due to an aphasia diagnosis. They later revealed that he had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia.
During a February appearance on the British talk show "Loose Women," Rumer praised Moore and Bruce for setting a "beautiful" example as co-parents.
"I think the thing that 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," she remarked on the talk show.
"We were a family, and we still are very much a family no matter what. And 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 co-parenting as well, I feel deep gratitude for the example they've set."
During an "Ask Me Anything (AMA) Uncensored" session shared to her Instagram stories last August, Rumer confirmed that she is open to having more children.
"Definitely because having siblings is one of the best parts of my entire life," she wrote. "Scout, Tallulah, Mabel and Evelyn are my best friends and favorite people and I want that for Lou. So open to whatever that looks like in the future."

Music Review: Bruce Springsteen takes seven ‘Lost Albums' off the shelf for a new box set
NEW YORK (AP) — Bruce Springsteen's new project, 'Tracks II: The Lost Albums,' is entirely about that age-old question: What if? The box set, out June 27, comprises seven albums encompassing the period between 1983 and 2018, all but one he prepared to release in its time but ultimately shelved. Now that he's decided to drop them simultaneously, they offer a fascinating alternative story of his musical life. Building on its predecessor 'Tracks,' 1998's four-disc, 66-song collection of unreleased material, there are 83 songs here. While some slipped out on other projects — 'My Hometown' and 'Secret Garden' among them — the vast majority hadn't been heard publicly. This is all fully completed material, not half-baked or half-finished outtakes. It's not unusual for artists to leave songs — or even full-lengths — on the cutting-room floor, but multiple entire albums? Springsteen explains that he's taken care releasing albums, looking to build a narrative arc for his career, and believes this approach has served him well. Perhaps as a result, the most interesting work on 'Tracks II' comes when he stretches out and explores pathways not in his wheelhouse: countrypolitan Bruce, border-town Bruce, Burt Bacharach-inspired Bruce and a set of synthesizer-based songs modeled after his Oscar-winning 'Streets of Philadelphia.' Oddly, the one disc of strays cobbled together that feels most like an E Street Band record is the least compelling. Breaking down a big pool of music Since these are seven distinct albums, it's worth evaluating them that way. 'LA Garage Sessions '83' captures Springsteen working virtually alone at a home in the Hollywood Hills. It was squarely in between his 'Nebraska' and 'Born in the USA' albums, and he seems torn between those two approaches. There are character studies here, and more lighthearted fare like 'Little Girl Like You,' with a single man yearning to settle down. The most striking cut is 'The Klansman,' about a boy and his racist father, yet it cries out for more development. Ultimately, Springsteen chose the right albums to release at the time. The song 'Streets of Philadelphia' was a genuine departure musically, and Springsteen decided to make an album in the same vein, with synthesizers and drum loops the dominant elements. If released in the early 1990s, this would have been the most contemporary-sounding disc of his career, with atmospherics that occasionally recall U2. Springsteen pulled it at the last minute, reasoning that the stories of doomed relationships — sample lyric: 'We loved each other like a disease' — was too much like 'Tunnel of Love.' At the same time he recorded 'The Ghost of Tom Joad' in 1995, Springsteen also convened a country band steered by pedal steel player Marty Rifkin. Their work was terrific, led by the one-two punch of 'Repo Man' and the Johnny Rivers cover, 'Poor Side of Town.' The title cut to a disc he calls 'Somewhere North of Nashville' escaped into the public some two decades later. Since the somber 'Joad' won a Grammy, who are we to second-guess his choice of what to put out? 'Nashville,' though, is a rollicking good time. 'Inyo' is similar to 'Joad' and 'Devils & Dust,' mostly acoustic-based narratives, here many of them stories of the Southwest. Springsteen even appropriately brings in mariachi bands for 'Adelita' and 'The Lost Charro.' Soozie Tyrell's violin is notable, particularly on the majestic 'When I Build My Beautiful House.' We're guessing that Springsteen may have considered 'Inyo' one album too many in the same style, but it's still strong work. At one point Springsteen considered making 'Western Stars,' his salute to early 1970s California songwriting, a double album. When he didn't, the songs on 'Twilight Hours' were left behind. Here Bacharach is the primary influence, and this almost feels like Elvis Costello's collaboration with Burt, only without him (and is the lyric 'God give me strength' a hat-tip to that project?). The crooning Bruce of 'Sunday Love' is spellbinding, maybe the box's best song. 'Lonely Town' sits at the intersection of Bacharach and Roy Orbison, while 'Dinner at Eight' is a lovely sum-up. 'Twilight Hours' may startle Springsteen fans — and impress them, too. The workmanlike songs on 'Faithless' were written on commission in two weeks, the soundtrack to a movie that was never made. It's a good bet it would have been a moody Western. When Springsteen duels with Tom Morello on the song 'Another Thin Line,' you realize how little you've heard his electric guitar on 'Tracks II.' The album 'Perfect World' is the one here made up of leftovers from different periods, with the greatest E Street Band participation. Here's the deal, though: Most good E Street Band material has already been released. The best left behind for this disc is 'You Lifted Me Up,' with minimalist lyrics and a vocal collaboration with Patti Scialfa and Steve Van Zandt. The box gives Springsteen completists plenty to mull over, and you can question whether these 'lost discs' would get more attention released separately instead of together. If it's too much, he's releasing a 20-song set of its highlights. ___ David Bauder writes about the intersection of media and entertainment for the AP.

'General Hospital' actor Jack Wagner has no plans to move in with his newlywed wife
Soap opera star Jack Wagner, 65, may be a newlywed, but don't expect him to play house. In an interview with Parade published on Wednesday, Wagner shared that he has no plans to move in with his wife, singer-songwriter Michelle Wolf, whom he married last month. "It's kind of cool, you know? She has her place. I still have mine," Wagner told Parade. "We're both super comfortable in our places and going back and forth, and so we've decided, let's not rock the boat and sell this and sell that and try to find something." The actor, known for his roles in "General Hospital" and "Melrose Place," added that marriage hasn't changed their daily routines much. He and his wife are still "kind of living the life we lived when we dated," he said. "We take a couple nights off, and then we trade off who's going to be where because I think we both know that the older we are, it's nice to have a little space. Not too much, but it's okay! It works," Wagner said. Wagner was previously married to his "General Hospital" costar Kristina Wagner from 1993 to 2006. They have two sons, one of whom died in 2022 of a drug overdose. He was engaged to his "Melrose Place" costar Heather Locklear in 2011, but the two called off the wedding. A study published in March of over 15,000 British people between 60 and 85 years old found that older couples living apart experienced more mental health benefits than single people. Logan Ury, a dating coach and director of relationship science at Hinge, previously told Business Insider that living apart is more appealing to older couples because they tend to have a "stronger sense of self." "They're less flexible and they have their ways of doing things," Ury said. While younger couples are like startups that grow together, older couples are more like mergers. "Mergers are notoriously hard because each one has their own HR department, their own CEO," she said. "It can be hard to blend those things." Having a bit of space can be key to a healthy relationship. Some couples choose to have a " sleep divorce" instead of living apart. Sleep divorce is when couples decide to sleep in separate beds, or even separate rooms. In June 2022, television host Carson Daly said that not sharing a bed with his wife was the "best thing" for his marriage. In July 2024, Bette Midler said that sleeping in a separate bedroom from her husband is the secret to her long-lasting marriage. A representative for Wagner did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by BI outside regular hours.
