In a candid Instagram Q&A earlier this summer, Rumer opened up about their separation, stating, “Nope, I am single momming it and co-parenting.”
She expressed immense gratitude for Lou, describing her as the best part of her life.
Reflecting on her relationship, Rumer mentioned how fortunate she felt to have had the time that allowed Lou to enter her life.

Rumer has expressed her desire for more children, stating she is “definitely” open to expanding her family as a single mother.
She dreams of giving Lou siblings, as she believes that having siblings is one of life’s greatest gifts.
When asked about her ideal number of children, she playfully responded, “6 or 7,” and shared her longing for motherhood, wishing she was “pregnant right now.”
Personal Growth and Resilience
Throughout her journey, Rumer has focused on personal growth, especially after giving birth.
In her reflections, she shared how last year was pivotal for her.
“I grew a human being, gave birth at home (with no drugs) surrounded by my family,” she revealed.
She navigated new relationships while managing postpartum challenges and has emerged with a deeper understanding of intimacy and self-love.
Celebrating her seven years of sobriety, Rumer has taken significant strides toward healing her past traumas, ensuring she doesn’t pass them on to her daughter.

As she embarks on this new chapter, Rumer is filled with hope and excitement for the future.
She embraces her authentic self while cherishing the experiences that have shaped her into the person she is today.
