You hear that unexpected love is the best kind of love and that couldn’t be closer to the truth
for Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma . The Pitch Perfect actress announced her new relationship to
the world just a few months ago and left everyone shocked in the best way. She kept her new romance
low-key for months before offering a few glimpses into their bond. From how she moved on after a
long-term engagement, to how she fell in love by chance and how she was forced to come out.
It was late 2021, when Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma were thrown together by fate. Well,
more like thrown together by their mutual friend Hugh Sheridan . He was the matchmaker behind the
new affair and claims he had been trying to find Rebel’s perfect match for some time.
“I'd been setting Rebel up with various people and Ramona up with various people. I'm a bit
of a matchmaker in my spare time, but Rebel was a really hard one and so was Ramona,” he said.
Wilson later confirmed that she indeed met Agruma through a friend, and she couldn’t
have been any happier with the outcome. “I was on and off on the Raya app,
but this was a friend setup. He had known both of us for at least five years and he thought we
would hit it off—and then we did,” she said. But no one knew of the blossoming relationship
between the pair for quite some time. In May of this year, Rebel 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 said. This new romance came not long after the
actress had ended her two-year relationship with businessman, Jacob Busch . In February 2021,
the pair decided that they were heading in different directions when it came to settling
down and what they wanted for their careers. Either way, there was no bad blood between
her and Jacob. Might be one of the reasons why Rebel managed to move on so quickly.
Before Wilson and Agruma’s relationship was publicised, the actress spoke in an
interview about how her and her anonymous lover started dating and also how she is
happier than she has ever been. The pair spoke on the phone for weeks before meeting and it
was a really good way to get to know each. “It was a bit old-school in that sense — very
romantic. I think going through the process of finding more self-worth, it's great to have
someone who feels like an equal partner. There were times — I'm not saying with all my exes,
they're great — but there were times that I put up with what I shouldn't have. So, it feels different
to be in a really healthy relationship,” she said. We love a queen who knows her worth!
It is surprising that no one put the pieces together because Rebel was posting A LOT of
pictures with her new beau. Although it isn’t clear when the pair began dating,
the earliest evidence comes from a group photo at Disneyland in January of this year.
From there, the couple spent Valentine’s Day with a group of friends at a rose petal and
heart filled V Day party. Then, Rebel shared the couple’s first PDA post… well kind of!
At the end of her birthday trip to Mexico, the actress posted a video to her Instagram showing
her surrounded by her friends standing beneath a burst of celebratory fireworks.
Towards the end of the video, Ramona reaches for the actor and the two embrace in a warm
but casual hug under the cracking sparks. From there, the couple was seen attending
the Vanity Fair Oscar’s Party together, which was actually their red-carpet debut – even though no
one knew they were together! Then Ramona and Rebel were seen riding horseback at the annual World
Pride Polo event. They were among an exclusive list of attendees which saw some of America’s
most well-known affluent gay and lesbian icons. We have to mention that all of this has happened
before they became official. Wilson debuted her new girlfriend in a very modern fashion — with
a post on Instagram. Sadly, them sharing their love with the world came under forced
pretences as Australian publishers were gearing up to take the relationship live to the press.
This is the Pitch Perfect star's first relationship with a woman. Rebel was
told by The Sydney Herald that they would be publishing the breaking news within two days,
and she had that time to comment on it. So, she beat them to it by posting a
picture to Instagram of her and Ramona posing over a candlelit dinner-for-two.
She captioned the post, "I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe
what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess #loveislove."
Fans couldn’t be happier for the actress and her girlfriend, but they were also furious
with the media outlet that threatened to out her before she was ready. Rebel, 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 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,” he said.
Even though it was a devastating way for her to have to share her news before she wanted to,
the star has acknowledged how perfect it was that it happened in Pride month.
Regardless of the incident R&R have everyone convinced that they are a perfect match! Friends
of the pair have been saying how amazing it is to see Rebel this secure and happy with
someone she is dating. The couple is loving getting to know and spending time together.
“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. She is very happy all
around — in her new relationship, with her body and her career,” a close friend said.
Not only are the Senior Year actress’s friends happy for her, but her mom is beaming as well! Sue
Bownds , who lives in Sydney, recently flew to LA to meet Agruma. During that trip they apperently
spoke to Sue about wanting to get married and have a family together. How exciting is that?
Rebel is also seen to be a supportive girlfriend to Ramona in her ventures. The lesser-known
half of this pair founded a sustainable fashion company called Lemon Ve Limon.
The line focuses on affordability and comfort, but it isn’t her first venture by any means.
Ramona is the creative director and owner of a luxury jewellery brand. Rebel has been seen to
be sharing lots of love for the Lemon Ve Limon brand after it branched out into kids-wear.
The actress shared a sweet image of a young girl modelling a blue hooded sweater with blue
and pink ties. She captioned the image and tagged Ramona saying, "My girl now crushing it with kids
wear!" It seems like she couldn’t be prouder! This wasn’t the last time she was loud and proud
about Agruma’s ventures. She shared a photo of herself wearing pieces from the brand. “New drop
out now. I’m very biased obviously because this cutie created it,” she captioned the post. Wilson
also noted that her several of her fellow Pitch Perfect Bellas, including Anna Kendrick , were
also fans of the line. Talk about supportive! The cuteness didn’t stop there! Rebel
and Ramona have been travelling the world together for most of their relationship.
It’s rather appropriate that these globe-trotting lovebirds’ first initials spell R&R.
Their current location is unknown, but it’s no secret that the duo shares a love for waterfront
or at least poolside activities. They are regularly spotted in front of scenic ocean-scapes
or at pool side resorts. They are definitely keeping us in the loop on their travels.
The Hustle actress shared a video of herself on a golden swing and captioned it, "Thanks,
babe, for giving me a push. I don’t know what we're doing here…but I love every second of
it! #R&R." And Ramona commented back, “Never a dull moment with you.” Could they be any cuter?
Rebel Wilson has been gracing our screens with endless humour and one heck of a personality
since we can remember. She is definitely a fan favourite and although Ramona Agruma is
a new face to the Hollywood scene, at least in front of the camera, we cannot wait to learn
more about her! We love how happy this couple make one another and are certainly rooting for
them! Who knows what the future may hold? Let us know what your thoughts were on how
this couple were forced to go public in the comments below. Rumour Juice, at your service!
