Rumer told ITV viewers, "He's doing great," offering some reassurance to his fans, as reported by HELLO! Magazine.

She told panelists Kaye Adams and Judi Love, "My family, we're all so close, I think what's so beautiful is the way that we rally around each other. [It's] so lovely, because we really are a unit."

Rumer also noted that despite separating, her parents maintained a beautiful relationship with each other while she and her sisters were growing up.

"I think the thing I'm most grateful for is that even when they split up, they created such a beautiful foundation of prioritizing my sisters and me, that I never felt like I had to choose or like, they never played against each other. We were a family, and we still are very much a family no matter what," she shared.

Bruce and ‘The Substance’ actress were married from 1987 to 2000 and they share three daughters, Rumer, Scout Willis, 33, and Tallulah Willis, 31.

Rumer added, "Growing up especially, it was the rise of the internet. It was the rise of a lot of celebrity bloggers kind of tearing people down and you know, having to go through an awkward phase in the public eye as you're still discovering yourself, it's definitely challenging. It taught me a lot."
