Rebel Wilson has revealed meeting her in-laws wasn’t the smoothest of experiences, as her girlfriend’s family weren’t very accepting.
The actress, 42, revealed she was dating Ramona Agruma in June last year but has recently opened up about the reactions the pair’s relationship received from family members.
Speaking on the Life Uncut podcast, the Hollywood star described her in-laws as finding it difficult when their relationship went public.

She added that news of their dating has been “a lot harder” on her partner than herself.
Explaining the initial reactions, Rebel revealed: “Ramona’s family hasn’t been as accepting and so in many respects it’s been a lot harder on her to have to make the news public… like how we had to.”
She added: “With me, it was a couple of hurried conversations that I would have liked to have just taken my time with, so that was a bit difficult.
“But at the end of the day, I was probably going to, in a few months time, make it Instagram official as they say.”
Rebel also confirmed that Ramona wasn’t out to her family and friends at the time, so the news may have come as a shock – especially with it being hugely public.

Rebel added: “With her, she’s not in the public eye. So it was much harder on her.
“As her partner, I just feel so sad to see what happened with her family over it. Hopefully, people will change their attitude about things.”
However, the actress added that she and her partner have been met with positivity since announcing their relationship.
She said: “There was so much positivity that it was so awesome to see because I don’t know if it would have been like that 20 years ago.”
Rebel announced her relationship with girlfriend Ramona via an announcement on Instagram, as she wrote: “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess.”
The bold move to announce her relationship on social media was thought to come as pressure from Australian press mounted and a journalist from the Sydney Morning Herald threatened to ‘out’ the star.
In October 2022, the Australian Press Council revealed on its website that it determined the publication breached the council’s principles by intruding on Wilson’s “reasonable expectations of privacy.”
Speaking on Instagram, Rebel addressed the media as she shared: “Their actions did cause Ramona and I a lot of distress and while we’ve remained classy, there are still pains from having to rush this news publicly which we are dealing with.”
