Rumer Willis is having so much “fun” in her current phase of life — and her happiness has trickled down to her physical appearance.
“In an interesting way, I feel like the outer reflection is also [proof of the inner work],” Willis, 37, explained during the Monday, May 18, episode of “The Inside Edit” podcast. “I’m hotter than I’ve ever been.”
The Reasonable Doubt actress clarified that her hotter appearance has nothing to do with any work she’s had done.
“That’s not because I’ve had a bunch of plastic surgery. I don’t even get Botox anymore, I wish,” Willis said with a laugh. “That’s why I have all these lines on my forehead when I talk.”
Willis revealed, “My face, literally, has physically changed from spiritual work I have done. Which has been crazy.”
She acknowledged that her face is thinner than it was before she had her daughter, Lou, in April 2023, but it’s all because of the mental changes she’s made.
“I’ve literally not done anything other than [spiritual work]. I think I had this layer of hiding,” Willis shared. “I had this layer of, ‘Don’t see me. I’m not pretty.’ I kept repeating that to myself.”
The actress confessed, “I feel like once I had Lou, all of a sudden I was like, ‘I can f***ing do anything.’”
Willis welcomed her and then-boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas’ first baby, Louetta “Lou” Isley, in April 2023 following a home birth. “You are pure magic 🌱,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “You are more than we ever dreamed of ✨.”
The couple, however, called it quits the following year after two years of dating.
“I am single-moming it and coparenting,” Willis wrote via her Instagram Story in August 2024, confirming her and Thomas’ breakup. “I’m so grateful for Lou. She is the best thing in my life.”
She added, “I’m forever grateful I was able to have the time in that relationship for her to come into my life.”
As Rumer, who is the eldest daughter of exes Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, has leaned into single parenthood, she hasn’t shied away from telling it like it is.
“Just had a good cry in the woods. Some days being a single mom is hard,” she wrote via her Instagram Story in November 2025. “[My daughter] is not hard (ever) but some days doing everything alone can be.”
Rumer got real about her evolution as a mother and a woman during her appearance on “The Inside Edit” podcast, telling her friend and the host, Maeve Reilly, that she is “just starting to feel back in my power.”
“I work really hard, and I show up for my kid. It’s such a privilege to be a mom. It makes me so happy,” Rumer explained on Monday’s episode, noting over the past eight months she has been “feeling kind of confident and feeling back into myself” following her split.
Now, Rumer is ready to date, but only when the right man comes along.
“If I meet a dude that is not interested in having kids, sorry, got to go,” she revealed. “Or someone who is not willing to grow and has an interest in self-reflection and that kind of thing. Sorry, buddy.”
