Rebel Wilson kissed a girl… and she liked it!
The Pitch Perfect star has been dating Ramona Agruma for several months. Although Ramona is the first woman Rebel has dated, she wasn’t her first same-sex kiss. That title goes to her The Almond and the Seahorse co-star, Charlotte Gainsbourg.
In a new interview, Rebel admitted that kissing Charlotte is what influenced her real-life romance with Ramona.
Rebel and Ramona Went Instagram Official Back in June
Rebel shared a sweet photo of herself and Ramona, along with a touching caption to go with it.
“I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess #loveislove” she wrote. The news came as a shock to many, as Rebel had only openly dated men in the past.
One of these men is Jacob Busch, founder of the ice cream brand, Napps. They dated for a few months before Rebel shared on Instagram that they had broken up. She did so by sharing a picture along with the very telling caption, “Lots on my mind…aghhhhhh…#single-girl-heading-to-Super-Bowl!”
So, How Did Rebel and Ramona Meet?
And who is Ramona, anyway? She’s a 40-year-old fashion and jewelry designer who actually designed some pieces for Rebel’s Pitch Perfect co-star, Hailee Steinfeld. Coincidence?
In an interview with People , Rebel shared that she and Ramona were set up through a mutual friend. Their first time connecting was over the phone. “We spoke on the phone for weeks before meeting. And that was a really good way to get to know each other,” she said. “It was a bit old-school in that sense — very romantic.”
Now, Rebel is Sharing What Inspired Her to Give Love With a Woman a Try
In a revealing interview with The Hollywood Reporter , the comedian shared that it was her on-screen kiss with The Almond and the Seahorse co-star, Charlotte Gainsbourg, that opened her heart.
“If I hadn’t had the experience with Charlotte or the experience with the other woman, I don’t know if I would have ever met [her partner Ramona Agruma],” she explained.
She Said that the Kiss “Changed Her Love Life Completely.”
That’s some kiss!
“Then, weirdly through kissing her in my professional life I thought, well, maybe I should do that for real in my personal life and see how it goes, which I did,” Rebel said. She added that this happened in 2021, the same year that she met Ramona.
