During a recent appearance on the Glamour & Grit podcast, Rumer opened up about co-parenting her 18-month-old daughter Louetta with former partner Derek Richard Thomas, and how she is hoping to follow in her parents' footsteps.
Rumer, 36, expressed her hopes of "being able to create a dynamic where they can see you can co-parent in a way that's like, 'Here's your dad, and your dad and I are friends.'"
"Not everybody has that situation of friendship. And it can take time, depending on whatever the situation is," she explained, while calling herself "incredibly lucky" for the way Bruce, 69, and Demi, 61, amicably raised her and her younger sisters, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30.
Talking about her parents, Rumer said, "They got divorced when I was 10, but I never had to split vacations. I never had to split birthdays."
"As long as your focus is prioritizing your kids and what's for their highest good then everything else, there's a separate place for you to deal with whatever's going on," she said, adding, "I'm so grateful that my parents made that choice."

Bruce and Demi, who tied the knot in 1987, were married for 13 years before divorcing in 2000. The Die Hard actor also has two younger daughters with his current wife, Emma Heming Willis, whom he married in 2009.
"It was always about us coming together and that [Demi] was always grateful because my dad is my dad and he will always be that," the Dancing with the Stars alum continued in her podcast appearance. "And if we can remove our ego from it and... there's a desire to shift it and move it into something different, it can actually be even better."
