Rebel Wilson and her fiancée Ramona Agruma have been engaged for over a year, but the actress has yet to meet her future in-laws.
In a video interview with Today.com shared on Tuesday, June 11, the Rebel Rising author, 44, explained that cultural differences are a significant reason why she hasn’t met Agruma’s parents in person, even though the couple went public with their romance in June 2022.
“Ramona was born in Latvia, and it’s not as LGBTQ+-friendly as other countries are,” Wilson said about her partner’s European upbringing.
“I just think some people need a bit more time — and some people won’t ever come around to it, and that’s fine, and that’s their decision,” she added. “There are still parts of the world that aren’t as accepting.”
Despite this, the Pitch Perfect star is eagerly anticipating the upcoming meeting as the couple plans to travel to Europe in a few weeks.

“I’m really excited to meet them because I know they are very smart. Ramona’s mother is a doctor,” Wilson said while discussing her partner’s parents.
Her fiancée is the founder and designer of Lemon Ve Limon, a sustainable clothing company based in Los Angeles.
Wilson added that their 19-month-old daughter, Royce Lillian, born via surrogate in November 2022, has helped ease the way for their meeting.
“Roycie is the real icebreaker — they’ve been FaceTiming with her,” the Bridesmaids alum said.
In March, Wilson shared an exclusive excerpt from her memoir with PEOPLE, detailing her first date with Agruma.
“She sets up our first date for a few hours after I land: lunch at the Hotel Bel-Air,” Wilson’s book reads.

“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.”
The comedian adds that instead of actually eating lunch, they go “to the bathroom and make out.”
From there, things only got steamier.
” ‘I think you need to come back to my house,’ I say. I’ve never just invited someone straight back home, but I’m only in L.A. for the week,” Wilson continued.
“I take her to my bedroom. We just … connect. It feels beautiful.”
The pair met through a mutual friend and publicly announced their relationship before they were ready after Wilson received word that an Australian gossip reporter planned to out them.
“Some people in her family didn’t quite know and found out via the press,” Wilson told Today.com. “I feel really lucky because from my side, I’ve had literally not one negative reaction.”
