Demi Moore is one proud mom and grandma!

During an appearance on the Friday, Sept. 20 episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show, the actress, 61, spoke about her daughter Rumer Willis' little one, Louetta, 17 months, calling the toddler "magical" as Hudson shared a photo on screen.

"The great thing is I look at her and I realize that through how I choose to live, how my daughter and her sisters all choose to live, that we actually have a chance to break certain generational patterns. I can already see it within her," The Substance actress said of how Louetta has influenced her life.

"Talk about choosing joy... she is a pocket of joy," Moore added of the toddler, who Willis shares with her ex-boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas.

Moore shares her three daughters — Rumer, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30 — with ex-husband Bruce Willis, 69.

As Hudson probed Moore for advice, being a mom herself, she replied, "Recognizing that we are just the managers, we don't own. We just need to step back... for me I feel like my job is just to love my children and to give them the room to be who they are."

"Rescuing our children, which is our intuitive instinct, isn't always the best thing. You have to give them the room," Moore said.

Moore's latest comments come after she spoke about being a grandma on the Sept.9 episode of the Today show.

The actress told hosts Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie, "I love it. I am 'Yaya.' And she is the cutest. Rumer just sent me a photo of her with spaghetti on her head." Yaya means grandmother in Greek.
