Rebel Wilson surprised fans with the announcement, which also included the baby’s name and her first public photo
Rebel Wilson is a mom!
The Pitch Perfect star, 42, surprised fans when she announced on Instagram that she’s welcomed a baby girl, her first child, via a surrogate.
“Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate 💗,” Wilson wrote in a heartfelt caption that’s just bursting with the kind of joy and love that only a brand new mom knows. “I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle!”
The announcement included the first public photo of Wilson’s new bundle of joy, who looks absolutely precious in a pink onesie, with one hand partially covering her face while she sleeps.
Wilson continued in the caption, “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!!”
The star also shared some of her hopes for her new baby’s future, writing, “I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable. I am learning quickly.”
She also gave a shout out to other moms, adding at the end of the caption, “much respect to all the Mums out there! Proud to be in your club. 💗💗💗”
The comments were filled with congratulations for Wilson, including sweet messages from fans and other stars like Taika Waititi, Alison Brie, and Michael Bay.
While Wilson kept her surrogacy journey under wraps from the public eye, she’s been open in past interviews about wanting to be a mom.
“I would love to have a family. I’m just going for it by myself at the moment because of the biological clock,” she told People magazine in 2020. “If I meet the right person, great, and then they can fit in with whatever happens.”
Earlier this year, Wilson went public with her relationship with fashion and jewelry designer Ramona Agruma, writing 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”
Congrats to Rebel Wilson on growing her family!
