Things are pretty serious between Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma, as they share baby Royce together and have been engaged for over a year. But despite being together for two years, the couple have still not met this significant milestone.
Rebel hopes to finally meet her future in-laws in person for the first time, as the couple are set to travel to Europe in a couple of weeks.

"Roycie is the real icebreaker — they've been FaceTiming with her," she said.

Rebel explained: "Ramona was born in Latvia, and it's not as LGBTQ+-friendly as other countries are."

While civil partnerships for same-sex partners were codified in Latvia in 2023, it is only scheduled to take full effect in July 2024. Same-sex marriage remains constitutionally banned, and couples are unable to jointly adopt.

"I feel really lucky because from my side, I've had literally not one negative reaction", Rebel added.

"Lunch at the Hotel Bel-Air," she wrote. "I’m so nervous. I’m also worried that if Ramona and I do hit it off, I don’t have much sexual experience with a woman. And I’ve only had time to read half of the Girl Sex 101 book."
But instead of going to eat lunch, they instead headed "to the bathroom and make out", before heading back to Rebel's place.
