A special connection. Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma kept their romance low-key for months before offering a glimpse at their bond.
In May 2022, Wilson hinted that she was seeing someone new while discussing her attempts to get back into the dating scene. “I deliberately wanted to push myself to date a bunch of people and gain that experience, which I know is not normal, but it really helped me find out what I liked and what I didn’t like,” she shared on the “U Up?” podcast following her split from Jacob Busch.
One month later, the actress took her relationship with Agruma public on social media. “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess 
#loveislove,” Wilson wrote alongside an Instagram selfie of the happy couple in June 2022.
Amid the exciting news, Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald made headlines for an op-ed where they recounted giving the comedian a deadline to comment on her dating life. “It was with an abundance of caution and respect that this media outlet emailed Rebel Wilson’s representatives on Thursday morning, giving her two days to comment on her new relationship with LA leisure wear designer Ramona Agruma, before publishing a single word,” the article stated. “Big mistake. Wilson opted to gazump the story, posting about her new ‘Disney Princess’ on Instagram.”
At the time, the publication received widespread backlash for pushing the Australia native to address her private life. Wilson, for her part, broke her silence about the incident on Twitter. “Thanks for your comments, it was a very hard situation but trying to handle it with grace ,” she wrote that same month.
In response, the outlet’s journalist Andrew Hornery issued an apology, and the original article was removed from their website.
“It is not the Herald’s business to ‘out’ people and that is not what we set out to do. But I understand why my email has been seen as a threat. The framing of it was a mistake,” the writer wrote, noting they “mishandled steps” in their approach. “The Herald and I will approach things differently from now on to make sure we always take into consideration the extra layer of complexities people face when it comes to their sexuality.”
After making her debut with Agruma, Wilson continued to share adorable moments from the couple’s time together. “Ciao bellas,” the Isn’t It Romantic actress captioned an Instagram photo of her strolling through Italy while holding her girlfriend’s hand in June 2022.
The pair are “having a blast with friends on their European vacation,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2022, noting, “Rebel [Wilson] is very happy all around — in her new relationship, with her body and her career.”
Wilson and the owner of clothing brand Lemon Ve Limon “are enjoying getting to know each other and spending this time together,” the insider added. “Rebel loves how down-to-earth Ramona is and that they have a lot in common. They’re taking things slow but are excited to see what the future holds.” The twosome announced their engagement in February 2023.

During an episode of the “U Up?” podcast, the Bridesmaids star opened up about forming a connection with her significant other. “I met [my partner] at a friend’s set-up," she said. "He had known both of us for at least five years and he thought we would hit it off – and then we did! I can trust that they are who they say they are, which is something that you don’t really know on the [dating] apps.” Richard Milnes/Shutterstock
"We spoke on the phone for weeks before meeting. And that was a really good way to get to know each other," Wilson told People about her new romance. "It was a bit old-school in that sense — very romantic." The SAG Award nominee also gushed about being in a "really healthy" relationship. "I think going through the process of finding more self-worth, I think that what you want in a partner is elevated and so it's great to have someone who feels like an equal partner and be in a healthy relationship," she continued. "There were times — I'm not saying with all my exes, they're great — but there were some times that I was probably putting up with that I shouldn't have." Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

Us confirmed the twosome’s engagement on November 4, with a source noting that Wilson and Agruma were “wildly happy” to take the next step in their relationship. When Wilson announced via Instagram later that month that her daughter, Royce Lillian, was born with the help of a surrogate, Agruma dropped three pink heart emojis in the comments.

Agruma got candid about the difficult parts of her romance with Wilson during an interview on The Morning Show. "It was shocking at the beginning and hard because I'm not used to so much attention," she said, calling it “a little bit scary in the beginning, but we still try to keep our lives private.” Courtesy of Ramona Agruma/Instagram
The designer revealed how enamored she is by little Royce during her November 2022 appearance on The Morning Show. “You start thinking about someone else, not just yourself. Before I was like, ‘I should go have a massage,’ but now I just want to spend time with her," Agruma gushed. “You don't know what it's going to be like until you experience it. It's been life-changing, in a good way.” Courtesy of Rebel Wilson/Instagram

In a December 2022 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Wilson revealed that her first-ever kiss with a woman was on screen — and it "opened my heart up" to the possibility of a female partner. The Almond and the Seahorse star, who shares the screen (and a kiss) with Charlotte Gainsbourg in the 2022 film, thought, "'Well, maybe I should do that for real in my personal life and see how it goes,’ which I did,” Wilson told THR at the time. “That was in 2021 and then I met Ramona at the end of 2021. ... It changed my love life completely. It’s such an awesome thing.” Courtesy of IFC/YouTube

“My whole family has just been amazing. Ramona’s family hasn’t been as accepting. And so in many respects, it has been a lot harder on her to have to make the news public," Wilson shared on an episode of the "Life Uncut" podcast. “With her, she’s not in the public eye, it’s much harder on her. It’s so sad to see what happened with her family over it. Hopefully, people will change their attitude about things." Courtesy Rebel Wilson/Instagram
The pair announced their engagement on February 19. “We said YES! 💗💗 Thank you @tiffanyandco for the stunning ring 💍 and to Bob Iger and the incredible team at Disneyland @disneyweddings for pulling off this magical surprise,” Wilson wrote via Instagram. Courtesy of Rebel Wilson/Instagram
“Rebel and Ramona are in pure bliss right now. They have found their everything, started their dream family and are wildly happy,” a source exclusively told Us after the couple announced their engagement earlier in the month. “Rebel and Ramona clicked right away and have been inseparable ever since, they are kind to each other and are very supportive.” Wilson popped the question at one of her favorite places: Disneyland. “Having a Disney proposal was Rebel’s dream,” the insider explained. “Rebel spent months planning and thinking about the best way to propose and Ramona loved it!” Heading into wedding planning, the couple, who launched the Fluid dating app together, are focused on their family of three. “They want to have a small/medium sized wedding [because] they have a lot of friends and family on both sides, but are trying to keep it intimate,” the source told Us, noting that for now, “Rebel has everything she wants. She has love, she’s a mother, she’s wildly happy.” Courtesy of Ramona Agruma/Instagram
Before popping the question to Agruma in Disneyland, Wilson revealed she had to get "special permission" — and spoke to Disney CEO Bob Iger in order to do so. “He’s the big, big boss and I thought, well, if he says yes then it was meant to be, and I was meant to propose that day at Disneyland,” Wilson revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show in late February. “I had to get special permission to get a special area roped off and get the topiary trees in and ... I had a violinist playing like Disney classic and ... it was really romantic. I did go to the big boss to get permission.” Courtesy of Ramona/Instagram
The newly engaged couple couldn’t get enough of each other at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party. Wilson wore a gold Jason Wu gown, which she previously rocked at the 2020 Oscars viewing bash. Agruma, for her part, donned a beige sheer top and black skirt that complimented her fiancée perfectly. Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock
