Rumer Willis shared a sweet photo of her dad, Bruce Willis, holding his granddaughter on his first Father’s Day as a grandpa
Father’s Day was filled with sweet family moments, but we’re especially loving this one from Rumer Willis, who recently gave birth to her first baby, and marked the occasion by sharing a photo of her famous dad, Bruce Willis, enjoying his first Father’s Day as a grandpa.
In the adorable photo, Bruce is cuddling baby Louetta Isley Thomas Willis, who Rumer welcomed with her boyfriend, Derek Richard Thomas, in April. The two are standing outside looking over the patio and lawn—an extremely grandpa move if you ask us.
“Seeing my father hold my daughter today was something I will treasure for the rest of my life,” Rumer wrote in the caption. “His sweetness and love for her was so pure and beautiful. Papa, I’m so lucky to have you and so is Lou. Thank you for being the silliest, most loving, coolest Daddio a girl could ask for. Best Girl Dad in the game.”
She also paid tribute to Thomas.
“Happy 1st Father’s Day,” she wrote. “Thank you for building a beautiful garden for Lou to play in and eat from. 🌱 Thank you for filling the house with music for her to hear 🎶 Thank you for all the late-night diaper changes and silly faces. I’m so grateful our girl has a papa that loves her so much and someone so goofy and weird so she knows that’s ok for her to be too. Thank you for the greatest girl I could imagine in my wildest dreams. We love you 🧡”
Alongside the love from his grown-up daughter, Bruce got a sweet Father’s Day shout-out from his wife, Emma Heming, with whom he shares daughters 9-year-old Evelyn and 11-year-old Mabel.
“Father’s Day is a time I get to reflect on my deep appreciation and respect I have for Bruce as I watch him father our little ones,” Heming wrote in her post. “Where it might not be “conventional,” what he’s teaching them will span generations. Unconditional love, kindness, strength, compassion, patience, generosity, resilience. Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad I know, who will forever be the gift that keeps giving within our family 💞”
Happy Father’s Day to Bruce and all the other dads!
