Rebel Wilson is “beyond proud” to announce the birth of her first child. On 7 November, the Australian actress confirmed on Instagram that her daughter, Royce Lillian, was born via surrogate. “I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle!” wrote Wilson. “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 continued to say that she is “ready” to give “little Roycie all the love imaginable”, adding: “I am learning quickly… much respect to all the mums out there!
Proud to be in your club.” The announcement was met with congratulations from stars such as Alison Brie, Arielle Kebbel, G Flip, Melanie Griffith, Michael Bay and Taika Waititi.
Royce’s birth arrives a few months after Wilson came out as LGBTQ+ and confirmed her romance with Lemon Ve Limon founder Ramona Agruma. “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess,” she wrote on Instagram.
