Rebel Wilson has officially come out as gay while introducing her new girlfriend to the world.

The 42-year-old actress confirmed that she was in a relationship with a woman named Ramona Agruma on Thursday via Instagram, while sharing a loved-up snap with her partner and calling the super private clothing designer her ‘Disney Princess.’

But who is the woman who has stolen the Pitch Perfect star’s heart after she spent years struggling to find the right partner? 

Ramona is a law graduate who went on to launch her own sustainable fashion brand, which prides itself and selling ‘confidently cozy’ clothing.

Back in May, Rebel opened up about struggling to find love in the early years of her career due to body insecurities, admitting that ‘no one was really interested in dating her.’

But after undergoing a major transformation and shedding 75 pounds in 2019, she said she went on more than 50 different dates in an attempt to boost her ‘self-confidence’ and discover what she ‘liked.’

It’s unclear when she and Ramona first started dating, but the actress revealed last month that she was in a relationship with someone who she had been set up with ‘through a mutual friend’, and the pair have been spotted together on several occasions over the past few months.

Ramona was by Rebel’s side when she celebrated her birthday in early March, and they made their first official appearance together that same month, when they walked the red carpet at a Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

The Australian comedian confirmed that she was in a relationship in May, however, she didn’t reveal who she was dating. At the time, she couldn’t stop gushing over her partner, explaining that it was ‘great’ to finally find someone who ‘felt like an equal partner.’

Now, she has shared her girlfriend’s identity in a sweet Instagram post, writing, ‘I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess. #Loveislove,’ alongside a picture that showed the couple grinning ear to ear at the camera. 

From her impressive career and achievements to how she met and started dating the star, here’s everything you need to know about Rebel’s new girlfriend, Ramona. 

A deep dive into Ramona Agruma: How the law graduate went on to launch her own sustainable clothing brand

Ramona, who lives in Los Angeles, California, is the founder of a sustainable clothing brand called Lemon Ve Limon. 

According to the brand’s Instagram, it is ‘designed to take you places in comfort and style.’

‘Whether you’re flying fancy, yacht hopping, or simply running errands around Beverly Hills, our apparel line will keep you confidently cozy,’ its website reads.

The company boasts only using the ‘finest fabrics and environmentally friendly dyes.’ 

It sells pastel-colored hoodies for $175, sweat shorts for $88, and sweatpants for $149, as well as T-shirts for $68 and sweaters for $149.

Ramona is also the brand ambassador for Bee Goddess Jewelry. Based on her Twitter bio, she previously founded the headpiece brand DeLys joaillerie, but it’s unclear if she’s still involved with the company.

According to her LinkedIn, she graduated from the University of Latvia with a law degree in 2009 – something she has in common with her significant other.

Rebel graduated from the University of New South Wales in 2009 with Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws degrees.

Ramona is also a talented linguist, with her LinkedIn page revealing that she speaks four different languages: English, German, Russian and Latvian. 

The fashion designer has done her best to stay out of the spotlight – her Instagram is set to private and her Twitter account hasn’t been used since 2017, however, she did briefly use TikTok.

She posted 29 videos on the video streaming platform throughout 2020, including ones that show her dancing, trying out TikTok’s filters, cuddling her cats, and lip-syncing along to popular trends. 

Another video featured her showing off her stunning figure in a bikini while Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga’s song Rain On Me played in the background. Her last post on the app was in July 2020.

Inside Rebel and Ramona’s relationship: How the couple fell in love after being set up by a mutual friend

It’s unclear when Rebel and Ramona first started dating, but it appears that they were set up by a mutual friend. Last month, the Australian star revealed to People that she was dating someone – although she didn’t specify who – whom she had met ‘through a friend.’

‘We spoke on the phone for weeks before meeting. And that was a really good way to get to know each other,’ she told the outlet. ‘It was a bit old-school in that sense – very romantic.’

She also revealed on the U Up? podcast, ‘[The mutual friend had] known both of us for at least five years each, and he was like, “Yeah, I think you two would hit it off.” And then we did!’

According to the Isn’t It Romantic alum, being set up by someone she trusted helped her let her guard down around her partner – seemingly referring to Ramona. 

‘I think that escalates things quicker, because it’s from a trusted source,’ she continued. ‘You’re like, “Yeah, OK, I can trust this person.” They are who they say they are, which is something on the apps that you don’t really know.’

Rebel called it a ‘healthy relationship’ to People, adding that it was ‘great’ to finally find someone who ‘feels like an equal partner.’

She gushed: ‘I think going through the process of finding more self-worth, I think that what you want in a partner is elevated and so it’s great to have someone who feels like an equal partner and be in a healthy relationship.

‘There were times – I’m not saying with all my exes, they’re great – but there were some times that I was probably putting up with that I shouldn’t have. So it feels different to be in a really healthy relationship.’

Although Thursday marked her public coming out, Rebel and Ramona have been spotted together numerous times in the last few months.

They were seen at a few Los Angeles Rams football games during the last season, and they attended the Super Bowl together in February. 

They also visited Disney Land together in February, with Rebel sharing a snap to her Instagram with Ramona and other friends in front of the famous Cinderella castle, captioning it, ‘Just some much needed R&R time today.’

Ramona was also present at Rebel’s birthday celebration in early March. The couple jetted off to Los Cabos, Mexico, where the star rang in her 42nd birthday.

The couple, along with some of Rebel’s other loved ones, sipped drinks by the pool, watched fireworks, lounged on the beach, and enjoyed a fire at the One&Only Palmilla resort.

Ramona also accompanied Rebel at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party later that month, with the two putting on a glamorous display on the red carpet.

The lovebirds also showed off a penchant for winter sports back in April, when they made an appearance at Operation Smile’s 10th Annual Park City Ski Challenge. 

Following her announcement, a friend of the actress’ told People, ‘Rebel’s in an amazing place and I’ve never seen her happier.’ 

A look back at Rebel’s past romances: How the actress found her ‘princess’ after several failed relationships

Rebel’s most recent confirmed partner was Jacob Busch, of the Anheuser-Busch brewing company family.

She and the heir began dating shortly before the coronavirus pandemic began, and they made their red carpet debut in Monaco in September 2020, but the relationship ended in February 2021. 

‘Jacob was an amazing guy but just not the one for her long-term,’ a source told People magazine after their split. 

Back in November, Rebel confirmed that she was single and admitted that she was still looking for the ‘right person.’

‘I did date a few people over the summer and I had a really nice time,’ she revealed at the time. ‘I’m currently single and looking for the right person. So we’ll see.

‘From every relationship, you learn stuff all about yourself and what you’re looking for. I haven’t quite met my match just yet, but here’s hoping.’

Earlier this year, the comedian was briefly rumored to be dating the Australian tennis player Matt Reid, though that relationship was never confirmed. 

In her May cover story for People, the actress spoke about how had trouble dating in her early 20s since she was a ‘late bloomer.’ 

‘It’s not an exaggeration to say no one was really interested in dating me, especially in my 20s,’ she recalled.

‘I had a snaggle tooth. I was a catch if people really got to know me, but there was nobody really interested. 

‘But in a way that allowed me to not only have this amazing career and come up out of Australia, out of nowhere and get two degrees and then come to America and crush it. 

‘Would I have been able to do that if I had a serious relationship? Probably in my love life I was meant to be a late bloomer anyways.’

However, after going through a body transformation in 2019, she embarked on what she called a ‘year of love.’

‘For a woman my age – at that point I was 39 – I really wanted a relationship, but I had only had a few small relationships [in the past],’ she said on the U Up? podcast. ‘So I was like, “I’ve got to just get more practice in dating.”‘

Rebel admitted that she went out with ‘about 50 people’ throughout that year, but she didn’t seem to click with any of them.

However, she was thankful for the experience since it taught her to be more confident in herself. 

‘I deliberately wanted to push myself and date a whole bunch of people and get that experience, which I know, in itself, is not normal,’ she added.

‘But to me, it actually really helped in finding what I liked and what I didn’t like. It was a fun thing.

‘I learned I can get out there and put myself out there now. I just learned a bit more self-confidence. Like now, I would not feel awkward at all on a date, after doing that experiment.’
