Rumer, who shares Lou with her ex-boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas, with whom she split in August last year, posted a touching video of herself outdoors. Wiping away tears, she wrote, “Just had a good cry in the woods… some days being a single mom is hard. She is not hard (ever) but some days doing everything alone can be.”
Showing her sense of humor even in tough moments, she added, “Wow, and I just realized I have food in my teeth…really winning today.” Despite the candid moment, Rumer ended the video on a positive note, smiling and giving a thumbs-up to the camera.
