"Beautiful miracle!": Rebel Wilson's huge baby news
Rebel Wilson has announced she is now a mother, taking to social media to reveal she has welcomed her first child via surrogacy.
Sharing a sweet photo of the newborn dressed in a white onesie and and unicorn socks, the Australian star penned a heartwarming message to her new daughter.
“Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate,” Wilson began.
“I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle!”
The 42-year-old also thanked those who were involved in helping bring Royce into the world, adding that “this has been years in the making”.
“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 with such grace and care,” Wilson wrote.
“Thank you for helping me start my own family, it’s an amazing gift. The BEST gift!!
“I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable. I am learning quickly … much respect to all the Mums out there! Proud to be in your club.”

Wilson also shared a suite of photos on her Instagram story from her baby shower, which she also posted a photo from in October with a different message.
The photo, showing Wilson and her partner Ramona Agruma posing together with a white teddy bear partially obscured behind them, was shared along with a message about the condemnation of the Sydney Morning Herald for outing Wilson earlier this year.
“Just seeing the news that the Australian Press Council has condemned the Sydney Morning Herald and their journalists for their recent grubby behaviour in trying to out my same-sex relationship. And while I didn’t personally ask for any action to be taken I am glad that this has been officially recorded and recognized,” Wilson wrote.
“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. We move on, focusing on all the absolutely amazing new things in our life though! Sending love to everyone.”
The news comes after Wilson made her romantic relationship with fashion and jewellery designer Ramona Agruma public in June, and has since shared plenty of photos of her and Ramona on Instagram.
Last month, the actress sparked engagement rumours after sharing a photo of the pair, with Wilson wearing what appeared to be a silver ring on her left ring finger.
