The actress, best known for her roles in films like 'Pitch Perfect' and 'Senior Year', recently spoke about the emotional journey during an appearance on SiriusXM Hits1's Ben +1 show.
Rebel's Family Said Yes — But Not Everyone Did
Wilson revealed that her own family were supportive from the beginning when she shared news of her relationship with Ramona Agruma. But for Ramona's side, things were more complicated.
As Wilson shared on Ben +1, 'my family was very accepting of the relationship,' but when it came to now-wife Agruma, 'at first her family wasn't,' reported People magazine.
This cultural hesitation wasn't permanent, though, and time seemed to soften the situation. 'It just took them a little bit of time,' the 'Pitch Perfect' star added.
'I think some people from some cultures — because it was the
same-sex wedding
, I guess. They just needed a little bit of time, and now you wouldn't even notice that anything had happened previously.'
From Uncertainty to a Dream Wedding
In the end, love won.
Rebel and Ramona tied the knot in September 2024, celebrating their union in a beautiful ceremony in Italy. And what's more, Ramona's once-hesitant family showed up in full support.
Wilson shared joyfully, 'all of (Agruma's) beautiful family came' to their wedding in Italy last autumn, 'and it's almost like there wasn't any drama.'
The romantic Italian wedding marked a milestone for the couple who first went public with their relationship in June 2022.

At the time, Wilson posted a sweet photo on Instagram, captioned, 'I thought I was searching for a
Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess #loveislove.'
Building a Life and Family Together
Since making their relationship public, Wilson and Agruma have taken several big steps together — including parenting. The actress became a mum in November 2022 when she welcomed her daughter Royce via surrogate.
Ramona has been right there beside her as they raise their now two-year-old child.
Today, the couple are living a happy, blended life — with both sides of the family now involved and present. 'It is a really happy ending, and we've just had both Ramona's parents come and stay with us at our new house and stuff, so yeah. It was never feuding,' Wilson said.
Time Heals — And That's OK
Rebel didn't shy away from acknowledging that the path to this harmony took patience.
'It took them time, which is fair enough,' she said. 'They're from a different culture, but all worked out in the end, which I think is a good message.'

Keerthy Suresh Radiates Bohemian Glamour In A Whimsical Patchwork Gown
Keerthy Suresh dazzles in a pastel patchwork gown, twirling with effortless grace and bohemian charm. Keerthy Suresh's sartorial choices have always reflected an innate understanding of elegance laced with individuality, and her latest Instagram post captioned 'Twirls, Swirls and Smiles 🩵💛" is no exception. In these pictures, the National Award-winning actor embodies a romantic, free-spirited muse, reveling in movement, colour, and charm. Her ensemble is a masterclass in modern bohemian glamour. The off-shoulder gown, awash in a medley of pastels, geometric overlays, and delicate floral motifs, is a visual symphony that celebrates both whimsy and refinement. With its corseted bodice and sweeping, voluminous skirt, the silhouette accentuates femininity while offering fluidity, perfect for the cinematic swirls she strikes in front of the lens. The patchwork-inspired patterning recalls a painter's canvas, lending the look both artistry and lightness, an ode to eclectic yet controlled maximalism. The styling embraces restraint, allowing the dress to command attention while punctuating it with carefully curated accents. A bold chain-link necklace with a vintage-inspired pendant adds gravitas at the décolletage, while an emerald statement ring offers an intriguing contrast to the pastel palette. Her choice of metallic heels is clever, subtle in shine yet elongated in form, grounding the otherwise airy aesthetic without weighing it down. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Keerthy Suresh (@keerthysureshofficial) Beauty remains understated, luminous, and evocative of summer romance. Her eyes glimmer with a wash of iridescent pink, paired with softly flushed cheeks and a muted rose lip, echoing the hues in her gown. The look feels sun-kissed and effortless, underscoring her natural radiance. Her hair, left in loose, voluminous waves, mirrors the dress's fluidity, carefree yet undeniably polished. But perhaps the most compelling accessory here is Keerthy herself. The candidness of her smile, the joy in her twirl, the uninhibited spirit she channels, all converge to make this moment not merely a fashion statement but a celebration of movement and mood. Her caption 'Twirls, Swirls and Smiles 🩵💛" becomes more than a phrase; it is the very essence of the imagery, encapsulating lightness, freedom, and feminine grace. With this look, Keerthy Suresh reminds us that true style lies not just in fabric or form but in the energy with which one wears it.
