'I AM Proud OF My Life AND ALL THE THINGS THAT I'VE GONE THROUGH'

Rebel Wilson talks to Us about motherhood, sexuality and the importance of speaking the truth

She may be known as one of the funniest women in Hollywood, but Rebel Wilson admits that her climb to the top has been a roller coaster. “I am just so proud of my life and all the things that I’ve gone through,” says Wilson, 44, who recently gave a refreshingly honest look at her complicated childhood, alleged harassment in Hollywood, weight struggles and sexuality in her memoir, Rebel Rising. “I’m just at a point now where I can be really open,” she explains. “It’s kind of cathartic in a way to just put it all out there. And then now, I move on with the next chapters.”

That includes raising her daughter, Royce, with fiancée Ramona Agruma. (Wilson welcomed their little girl via surrogate in November 2022 following a years-long fertility struggle.) “I guess I didn’t know how motherhood was going to change my life,” admits the Pitch Perfect star. “It’s really hard. You’re a bit sleep-deprived. You can’t just leave the house. [But] it’s so great,” she adds. “[Royce] is just so cute and melts my heart.” Here, Wilson — who sat down with Us while promoting her partnership with the insect spray Zevo — talks more about her journey.

It’s been almost three months since your memoir was released. Did you expect this kind of success?
