Rebel Wilson has announced she's just become a mum after welcoming her baby daughter via surrogate.
Taking to Instagram to announce the happy news, Rebel, 42, wrote: "Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate.
"I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle! 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 and birthed her with such grace and care.

"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."
Friends and followers have been rushing to congratulate Rebel on her arrival, with one person writing: "Wonderful news, huge congratulations and what a gorgeous baby. So happy and proud of you RW."
While another said: "Congrats so happy for you, you’re going to be an incredible mom. Welcome to the world sweet Roycie!"
And a third added: "Beyond happy for you Rebs! Royce is so lucky! You’re gonna be the best mom!"
"This is JUST SO BEAUTIFUL and Priceless!!!" a fourth said.
"Congratulations Sweet new Mom and welcome Sweet little one."
The Pitch Perfect star is dating Ramona Agruma and recently had to deny that the couple were engaged.
"Thanks for the well wishes but we are NOT engaged!" Rebel said at the weekend.
Earlier this year, fans flooded to support the actress after she came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community with a heartwarming Instagram post.
Sharing a photo of her and Ramona, Rebel captioned the sweet snap with a heart and rainbow emoji, writing: “Thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess [sic].”
Wilson had previously been in a relationship with Jacob Busch, however, just four months after they made it Instagram official, the pair split in February 2021.
Rebel confirmed that she was in a relationship to People magazine this May, although she did not disclose the identity of her new partner at the time.
"I think that escalates things quicker, [meeting someone] from a trusted source," she said.
"So then you're like, okay, I can trust this person, that they are legit, they are who they say they are – which is something on the [dating] apps you don't really know."
