Pixabay A DWTS champ is starting to sprout.
Pregnant “Dancing With the Stars” season 20 champ Rumer Willis is baring her baby bump.
On February 20, 2023, the daughter of actors Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, shared a video of her bare tummy for the first time since she and partner Derek Richard Thomas announced in December 2022 they were expecting their first child together. In the video, Rumer Willis is donning a black, belly-baring bra-and-leggings combo, her hair pulled into a top bun as she films her reflection in a full-length mirror. To the tune of Bill Withers‘ classic hit “Lovely Day,” the actor gently caresses her stomach while slowly turning to the side to display her bump from different angles.
Later in the video, Rumer Willis offers a POV view of her bump from a reclining position, looking down at her bare belly while tenderly caressing it.
“Had the most glorious day at @suryaspaayurveda doing a little mama and baby treatment. It was heavenly and the food after was magic,” Willis captioned the video post.

Rumer Willis Spent a Day at the Spa for Some Self-Care Ahead of Her Baby’s Arrival
The mom-to-be filmed the revealing video while indulging in a day of self-care at Ayurvedic spa, Surya, located in Santa Monica, CA. According to its website, the spa offers second-and-third trimester treatments that “provide personalized and healing therapies … that stimulate circulation, eliminate toxins, and support not only your lymph system, but also the growth of your baby.”
“We just absolutely love to have you here!” the spa commented on Willis’s Reel. “Can’t wait to see you again soon 🌞🕊💓”
Rumer Willis Has Been Having Fun Dressing Her Bump
Willis has seemingly embraced her pregnancy journey, often sharing special moments with her fans on social media. On February 21, 2023, the cabaret singer stepped out with sister Scout Willis to try on some clothes.
“@scoutlaruewillis and I took over @freepeople to style some fun looks for my growing bump,” Rumer Willis captioned an Instagram post.
On the February 9, 2023, episode of the “Bathroom Chronicles” podcast, Rumer Willis opened up about the day-to-day experience of being pregnant.
“It’s still surreal to me, I think because I haven’t started feeling the baby yet. Like, I still sometimes am like, ‘is this happening?'” she said. She added that her pregnancy had been a transformative experience so far, despite still being fairly early on in the process.
“It’s made me upgrade me so fast,” she said. “Like, things where I used to have such a nature to be people pleasing, or to not stand up for myself for little things that then would kind of get under my skin.”
Rumer Willis’s Mom Demi Moore Posed Nude for Iconic Vanity Fair Cover While 7 Months Pregnant With Younger Sister Scout Willis
The urge to flaunt her bare bump might be in Rumer Willis’s famous genes.
In August 1991, Moore posed nude for the cover of Vanity Fair magazine while seven months pregnant with daughter Scout Willis — a controversial decision widely credited with challenging the way society viewed pregnant women at the time.
“Moore’s cover helped change the way pregnancy was perceived, from something to be hidden to something to be proud of,” wrote Renee Cramer, Professor at Drake University, for online publication The Conversation in June 2015.
In a Feb. 2021 interview with Naomi Campbell for the supermodel’s “No Filter” series on YouTube, Moore said in retrospect she understood the cultural impact of her iconic photo, but at the time she was only concerned with her own personal sense of expression.
“I understand what impact it had on the world, on women, on our permission to embrace ourselves in a pregnant state,” Moore told Campbell. “But it was a moment that I was taking to really be in myself and be expressing myself and not trying to be anything other than me.”
Moore said the experience of baring her pregnant body for the world to see, “helped move me down the path of being able to step into owning who I am.”
Now that her eldest daughter is pregnant with her first grandchild, Moore has sometimes taken to social media to express her excitement about the upcoming addition to the family.
“Saying hello to the little nibblet!!” Moore captioned an Instagram snap taken at her daughter’s ultrasound appointment in December 2022. “Overjoyed for you, my sweet Rumer. It’s an honor to witness your journey into motherhood, and can’t wait to welcome this baby into the world.”
