Rumer Willis and Derek Richard Thomas's Relationship
Rumer Willis and Derek Richard Thomas's Whirlwind Romance in Pictures
Rumer Willis is expecting her first child with boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas, and their love story is music to our ears. The 34-year-old actor shared the exciting baby news on Instagram on 20 Dec., after confirming her relationship with Thomas in a joint post a month earlier.
She captioned the 15 Nov. gallery with a series of silly emojis, alongside photos of her kissing Thomas on the cheek and smiling at him sweetly. Although Willis has dropped several clues on social media, the exact timeline of the couple's relationship is unclear.
Based on what the two have shared on their respective Instagram accounts, it seems they initially bonded over their mutual love of music. Thomas is a successful musician, most notably the singer of the Vista Kicks and producer for the Hail Maries. A singer herself, Willis has actually performed alongside Thomas before, posting a clip of the two performing together back in May 2022. "@derekrichardthomas and @thehailmaries are the most talented singers and songwriters I have heard in a very long time (maybe ever) and tonight I had the pleasure of getting to sing a few tunes with them," she captioned another post.
Willis continued to share videos of Thomas performing, first at a smaller venue on 10 June, and then of his opening set for The Rolling Stones on 27 June. After the Stones show, the actor posted a photo of the pair with the caption, "Just a couple of troublemakers," finally hinting at a possible relationship.
Thomas then unveiled a post of his own in honour of Willis's birthday on 16 Aug., writing, "Happy Birthday @rumerwillis ❤️ In the short time we've been together you have filled my life with joy and peace. Everything is just so easy with you. We sing, we dance, we play and most of all we laugh. Thank you for being you 😘 you're a magical human I'm so glad you came into my life :-)."
