Rebel Wilson Shares 30-Pound Weight Gain: ‘It Makes Me Feel Bad About Myself’

Actress Rebel Wilson has opened up about her recent weight gain in an Instagram post.

The Australian actress and comedian shared a photo to social media of her in a hot tub wearing a black swimsuit and sunglasses. The post was paired with a caption detailing her experience with her recent 30-pound weight gain due to stress from a busy work life.

“Working really hard has meant that, coz of all the stress, I’ve gained 14kg’s (30 pounds)! It makes me feel bad about myself… it shouldn’t… but it does. I’m really proud of the work I’ve been doing on new movies and my memoir, it’s just been a LOT and I’ve lost focus on my healthy lifestyle.”

Wilson is known for her comedic roles in films, such as Fat Amy in the Pitch Perfect film series.

In 2020, Wilson declared in a separate Instagram post that 2020 was going to be her “year of health.” Since then, Wilson has lost 80 pounds and worked with a trainer . Wilson’s fitness journey was sparked by her desire to become a mother. In an interview with People in 2022, she stated, “I thought of a future child’s needs that really inspired me to get healthier.”

Wilson’s initial Instagram post about her weight gain drew support from her fans. Many expressed their support and shared their own experience in the comments.

In 2022, Wilson came out as a lesbian by introducing her girlfriend, Ramona Ahruma. Later that year, they welcomed a daughter, Royce, by surrogate.
