Rebel Wilson Is Now A Mother After Welcoming Her First Child Via Surrogate

Rebel Wilson is now a mother. On Nov. 7, the Pitch Perfect star announced the birth of her first child on Twitter, revealing that she welcomed daughter Royce Lillian via surrogate the week prior. “She’s a little miracle!” Wilson wrote, sharing the first photo of her newborn. The baby reveal comes just days after Us Weekly reported that Wilson is engaged to Ramona Agruma, but she quickly shot down that report on her Instagram story, saying, “Thanks for the well-wishes, but we are NOT engaged.”

The 42-year-old actor expanded on her daughter’s arrival in an Instagram post, revealing that becoming a mother has been in the cards for years. “I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle!” she wrote. “I am forever grateful to everyone who has been involved, (you know who you are), this has been years in the making.” She went on to thank her surrogate, whose identity remains unknown, for “helping me start my own family,” noting that she “carried her and birthed her with such grace and care.”

Wilson concluded her post by acknowledging all of the mothers she’s been learning from. “I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable,” she wrote. “I am learning quickly…much respect to all the Mums out there! Proud to be in your club.”

While Wilson may not be engaged to Agruma, her girlfriend is still supporting her on her motherhood journey. The clothing designer left three pink heart emojis in the comments section, matching the end of Wilson’s announcement post. The couple went public with their relationship in June by sharing their first photo on Instagram. “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess,” Wilson wrote.

The star has been vocal about her desire to become a mother over the years. In May, Wilson told People that her weight loss was motivated by a fertility doctor telling her that she’d have a better chance of harvesting and freezing eggs if she lost weight. “I thought, ‘Oh God, this guy’s so rude,’” she explained. “He was right. I was carrying around a lot of excess weight. It’s almost like I didn’t think of my own needs. I thought of a future child’s needs that really inspired me to get healthier.”
