Rebel Wilson has welcomed a beautiful baby girl.
The 42-year-old actress took to Instagram to make the big announcement.
Rebel Wilson Welcomes Baby Girl via Surrogacy
The Pitch Perfect star wrote on Instagram, “Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate 💗 I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle!”
She added, “I am forever grateful to everyone who has been involved, (you know who you are), this has been years in the making…but particularly wanted to thank my gorgeous surrogate who carried her and birthed her with such grace and care. Thank you for helping me start my own family, it’s an amazing gift. The BEST gift!!”
Wilson then concluded, “I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable. I am learning quickly…much respect to all the Mums out there! Proud to be in your club.”
Wilson has been prepping for the big moment for years, focusing on her health starting back in 2020.
PEOPLE writes, “In May, Wilson told PEOPLE that part of her decision to embark on her ‘year of health’ in 2020 was because of her desire to become a mom.
When Wilson visited her fertility doctor in 2019, he said she’d have a much better chance of harvesting and freezing her eggs if she lost weight. ‘He looked me up and down and said, ‘You’d do much better if you were healthier,’ ‘ the actress told PEOPLE.
‘I was taken aback. I thought, ‘Oh God, this guy’s so rude.’ 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.'”
Wilson suffers from PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which can make it difficult to lose weight and get pregnant. But Wilson lost 80lbs through her determination to be a healthy mom someday, and now that dream has come true.
Wilson is In a Loving Relationship
Wilson isn’t going this “mom” thing alone though.
The actress first went public with her relationship with fashion and jewelry designer Ramona Agruma on June 9, posting a sweet picture of the two on Instagram.
“I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess 💗🌈💗 #loveislove,” wrote Wilson.
A source close to Wilson told People at the time, “It’s a very serious relationship and they’re super happy together. It’s been very cool for Rebel’s friends to see her this secure with someone.”
Congratulations to Wilson and her beautiful bundle of joy!
