Derek Richard Thomas, an independent artist and producer, is Rumer Willis’s boyfriend. After years as the vocalist for the rock/soul band Vista Kicks, who released their first album “Booty Shakers Ball” in 2017, he decided to pursue a solo career in 2018. However, in February of 2023, he declared that the band was officially disbanding.
“With everything that has happened in the past few years, and a lot has happened, we have to say goodbye to Vista Kicks,” he wrote on Instagram. “Among many other reasons, we feel Vista Kicks no longer represents what we are and who we want to be.”
The news coincided with the release of their fourth and final studio album, titled “All Hail Vista Maries.”
Thomas continued by saying that Vista Maries may reform in the future, but that they are now “taking a break.” In addition to being the producer of the Hail Maries, who appeared on the Vista Kicks’ last album, he also manages the record company In the DRT Records. “But most importantly,” he said, “I’m becoming a father!”
Willis, who is a talented guitarist and singer in her own right, often performs with her rocker boyfriend. For example, in May of 2022, she performed beside him on stage, and in March of that year, they allegedly dueted at her baby shower.
How Did Rumer Willis and Derek Richard Meet?
In an episode of Peggy Romato and Kimberly Van Der Beek’s podcast “Bathroom Chronicles” from February 2022, Willis revealed the details of how she met her “wonderful man.”
“I met him for the first time and I heard him open his mouth and sing, and I was like, ‘I love this man,'” she recalled. “I was like, ‘I don’t know who he is,’ but the way that he was singing—the heartbreak and the passion—I was like, ‘I have to know this person.'”
Unfortunately, she found out via a mutual acquaintance that he was already committed to someone else. “Of course,” I said. Willis remarked, “Of course my ideal man is taken from me. “So I waited a while and said, ‘I’m just going to let it go. If worse comes to worse, at least we can jam together, right?
However, a few of months later, she learned that her ideal man was freshly single, and she messaged him on Instagram to ask for a date.
“We started spending time together, and the first date we had, he just started talking in an accent to me, the whole car ride home,” Willis shared. “We were talking in a Southern accent together, and I was like, ‘Oh my god, this is my person. This is amazing.'”
“It’s been in a bit of warp speed and not necessarily always in the right order,” she continued. “But I feel so grateful that the universe and this kid for whatever reason was like, ‘I’m not gonna let you guys mess this up, so I’m coming in on my timing.'”
