It’s unclear when Rumer and Thomas first began dating, but they confirmed their romance on Instagram back in November 2022. A month later, the couple revealed they were expecting when they posted a black-and-white Instagram photo of Thomas kissing Rumer’s baby bump.

Rumer has always dreamed of becoming a mom. During a February appearance on Peggy Rometo and Kimberly Van Der Beek’s podcast, “Bathroom Chronicles” (via People), Rumer shared, “It’s like one of those weird things that I know sometimes people have such clarity about, like ‘Oh, I want to be a musician, I want this,’ and it was never a question for me that I wanted to be a mom.”

She continued: “And that just felt like such a divine purpose and something that when I started thinking about it, felt like such joy.”
