Actor Rebel Wilson’s family is about to grow, with the Aussie star’s wife announcing she is pregnant with their second child.

The announcement on Tuesday (Australian time) came more than a year after Wilson wed singer Ramona Agruma in September 2024.

“The happiest news in our family,” Agruma wrote in a post on Instagram.

“It will be 4 of us soon! Baby number 2 is on her way. I love you Rebel Wilson.”

Agruma shared the news along with a video of family photos that included the positive pregnancy test. She also offered a look at her growing baby bump, lifting her pink jumper to display her pregnant belly in a form-fitting black top.

“Baby, so happy for our gorgeous babies!” Wilson, 45, wrote on the post.

The couple already share daughter Royce, 3. She was born via surrogate in November 2022.

“I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle,” Wilson wrote at the time.

Blow for Wilson in film fight

The happy family news comes as production companies behind Wilson’s directorial debut secured a major win in blocking legal claims made about the beleaguered film in the US.

The Deb, a musical comedy filmed in rural NSW, premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2024 but is yet to be released amid ongoing disputes between Wilson and her co-producers.

Those producers – Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron and Vince Holden – have sued Wilson in California over allegedly defamatory claims she made publicly about them.

Her accusations include embezzlement, sexual harassment of the film’s lead actor Charlotte MacInnes, bullying over the sexual misconduct claims and obstruction of the film’s release.

The Pitch Perfect star hit back with her own extensive claims including allegations of a “troubling pattern of illicit egregious behaviours, including theft, bullying and sexual misconduct”.

But on Monday, the NSW Supreme Court shut down most of her US lawsuit against the companies headed by her co-producers.

“There is valid concern that not injuncting part of [Wilson’s] cross-complaint risks conflicting findings or inconsistent judgments between the Californian and NSW courts,” Justice Elisabeth Peden wrote in her judgment.

The blocked claims include allegations that Cameron and Holden embezzled $900,000 from the film’s budget and Wilson was forced to sign contracts under duress.

However, the court upheld Wilson’s ability to pursue other legal action in California.

The production companies are seeking damages and compensation for her alleged breaches of contract, injurious falsehoods and misleading statements in the NSW Supreme Court.

Wilson has been paid more than $1 million for her roles as actor, director and producer in the still unreleased film.

Barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC, for the production companies, previously argued the anti-suit injunction should be granted because the ongoing spat had no connection with California.

The three producers were based in Britain and the disputed contracts were signed in Australia, she said.

But Wilson urged the court not to grant an injunction, contending that the Californian claims were completely orthodox.

The US case is one of several lawsuits that have erupted after filming wrapped in 2023.

Lead actor MacInnes has sued Wilson in the Federal Court over social media posts that claimed the film’s star revealed she was subjected to sexual harassment.

MacInnes’ denials of any sexual misconduct have not deterred Wilson, who stands by the claims.

Rialto reportedly acquired distribution rights for The Deb in Australia and New Zealand, with plans for a wide theatrical release in January.
