Rumer's debut had been postponed due to a nagging footinjury, but she dazzled as she kicked up her heels on stage at the AmbassadorTheatre on Monday night.
Her proud stepmom posted an Instagram pic with Rumerand Bruce, 60, writing, "Beaming with pride! Still buzzing from herperformance last night. You never fail to amaze us."
And sister Tallulah, 21, shared a fun pic with Rumer andScout, 24, in front of the theater. "YO SO F---ING PROUD OF YOURUBLES!!!!!" she wrote. "An indescribably special experience to seeyou tonight on broadway @ruelarue I love you so much sestra."
Bruce and Demi, 52, who divorced in 2000, were also in theaudience when Rumer competed on Dancing with the Stars earlier this year. "When their father and I decided to divorce, it probablyhad the biggest impact on her," Demi said of Rumer in an interview thataired on the reality competition in May.
The couple's oldest daughter grew up in the spotlight, butwhen she got to her teens, the scrutiny became harder for her to handle. "Media attention is tough when youare a kid, it is definitely weird to have that be such public knowledge," Rumersaid. "A couple times, things would happen in my family — whatever dramait was — I couldn't leave my house for a week. As I got older and peoplestarted you know, commenting on how I look, that's when it really started toaffect me."
Demi, who divorced third husband Ashton Kutcher in 2013, admittedshe was concerned when Rumer said she wanted to do DWTS. 'My whole insides, I have to be honest,were screaming 'No,' " the Ghost actress said. "But, one of the mostbeautiful things that I've witnessed is watching her passion become greaterthan her fear... It has nothing to do with her being my kid or Bruce's kid, ithas everything to do with just who she is."
