Overview
- In a Nov. 19 Instagram Story, Willis said "some days being a single mom is hard" and noted that "doing everything alone" can be challenging as she walked in the woods after a cry.
- The clip showed her wiping away tears before offering a smile and thumbs-up and joking that she had food in her teeth.
- In a subsequent Q&A, she encouraged single parents to give themselves grace and reminded them they are likely doing better than they think.
- Responding to a question about using a nanny, Willis said she does not have full-time help, relies on a longtime caregiver during work or travel, and asked people not to shame mothers for seeking support.
- Willis shares 2-year-old Louetta with ex-partner Derek Richard Thomas, says they are co-parenting, and recently defended continuing to breastfeed her toddler in response to criticism.
