She’s getting ready for what lies ahead.
Rumer Willis was surrounded by close family and friends Sunday to celebrate the forthcoming birth of her first child with boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas.
The “Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood” actress, 34, held a star-studded baby shower in Los Angeles attended by mom Demi Moore, stepmother Emma Heming, influencer Stephanie Shepherd and “Dancing With the Stars” alum Peta Murgatroyd.
Tallulah, Scout, Evelyn and Mabel Willis were also present for their sister’s occasion, and appeared overjoyed to celebrate welcoming a new bundle of joy into the family.
In photos exclusively obtained by Page Six, the siblings were seen cradling Rumer’s baby bump, which was prominently featured in a form-fitting white dress.
For the rest of her look, the “Feels So Good” singer kept it simple, opting for minimal makeup, a curly hairdo and no shoes.
Rumer was all smiles at the shower, but one very important member of the family appeared to be missing from the milestone event: her father, Bruce Willis.
The movie star, 67, was recently diagnosed with dementia. It was first suspected that he was battling aphasia – a disorder that affects a person’s ability to communicate – but his condition continued to worsen over time.
Despite her father’s apparent absence, Moore, 60, and Heming, 44, were both there to make sure the “House Bunny” actress felt supported as she awaits the birth of her baby.
“I feel such gratitude and joy to have been surrounded by so many people that I love,” Rumer tells Page Six exclusively.
The Rumer Has It founder also says she “had fun” at her shower due in part to her singing songs with Thomas, who is an indie musician, as he played the piano for all of the guests.
Back in December, the couple took to social media to announce that they were expecting.
They shared on Instagram a slideshow of black-and-white photos of Thomas, 28, giving Rumer’s baby bump a kiss in one pic and showing a shocked expression in another.
The soon-to-be dad was also at the shower on Sunday, and was seen posing with several family members to commemorate the happy occasion.

Murgatroyd, 36, who is also currently expecting a baby after suffering a string of misacarriages over the past few years, also took a moment for a photo-op.
The choreographer is married to Maksim Chmerkovskiy and is the sister-and-law of Val Chmerkovskiy, with whom Rumer won Season 20 of “Dancing With the Stars.”
Murgatroyd went to the event dressed in a casual all-black outfit with her hair pulled back and her own baby bump on full display.
Rumer tells Page Six many of her loved ones – who have experience with parenthood themselves – offered her advice, but the best words of wisdom were to “just take in every moment cause it goes by so fast.”
The “Toxic” singer also adds that her mom told her to “trust myself and my intuition.”
Rumer’s child will make Moore a grandmother for the first time.
“I am the most excited to meet this little person and see who they are,” Rumer concludes to Page Six exclusively.
“I can’t wait to hear their little laugh. I am honestly just excited for all of it, even the tough stuff. It is such a privilege to bring a child into the world and I just feel so happy.”
