Australian actress Rebel Wilson has opened up about a challenge familiar to countless parents during the festive break: sheer exhaustion from keeping up with a lively toddler. The 45-year-old star took to social media to share a sweet snapshot of her three-year-old daughter, Royce, enjoying the Christmas holidays, candidly admitting she was feeling the strain.
'How Do You Do It?': A Mum's Festive Struggle
In a heartfelt caption accompanying the photo, Rebel directly addressed fellow mothers. 'To all the Mums out there in the school holidays - how do you do it? I'm exhausted!' she confessed. She added a touching note about her motivations, writing, 'Just trying to give my cutie a better life than what I had.' The Pitch Perfect star was quick to credit her wife, Ramona Agruma, for her seemingly effortless parenting skills, gushing, 'Ramona is the best mother and does everything with ease! She's amazing!'
Mother-Daughter Moments and a Growing Family
Rebel has been filling the holidays with special activities for Royce, recently delighting fans by sharing an adorable clip from a trip to London's Savoy Theatre. In the footage, the pair watched a production of 'Paddington' together via the theatre monitors. 'Taking my daughter to the theatre… well, to the monitors! In a few years, it will be the real theatre,' Rebel explained, capturing a precious mother-daughter moment.
The actress and her fashion entrepreneur wife, Ramona Agruma, 41, welcomed Royce via surrogacy on November 7, 2022. The couple, who first met in 2021, publicly confirmed their relationship in June 2022 and announced their engagement in February 2023. They originally planned a beach wedding for 2025 but decided to move the date forward, officially tying the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Sardinia, Italy, on September 28, 2024, with Royce serving as flower girl.
Royce's 'High Maintenance' Charm and Baby News
Rebel has previously joked about her daughter living up to her luxurious name, which is inspired by the Rolls-Royce car brand. On The Jonathan Ross Show in April, she humorously remarked, 'I probably shouldn't have named her after a British luxury car brand, she's a bit high maintenance,' recounting how Royce had convinced her to give foot massages at bedtime.
In a joyous development for the family, Rebel and Ramona announced earlier this month that they are expecting their second child. On December 8, Ramona shared the happy news on Instagram with a photo carousel that documented their journey, captioned, 'To... Baby number 2 is on her way.' The announcement confirms the family of three will soon become a family of four.
