Rebel Wilson talks about the meaningful relationship in her life and what it felt like to find it. The actress and comedian, 44, spoke to PEOPLE about the “situation” she had with the tennis player, which she writes about in her memoir, Rebel Rising: A Memoir, which arrives from Simon & Schuster. ‘It was like a roller coaster,’ says Wilson. “Sometimes, when I went out with men, people would even make comments. They say, ‘God, Rebel, you can take them or leave them. You’ve never been so invested.'”
“And then, here someone was where [I] she felt so invested in her and even at one point thought, ‘Oh, I could give up my career for this person, travel around the world on tennis courts,’” she continues. Wilson says the person, whom she declined to name, also helped her discover the potential depth of her own feelings.

“I describe it as heart-opening,” says Wilson. “It’s like you can open a fresh can of tennis balls… it did that to me. And, I guess, when I saw people writing love songs or poetry about love, I thought, ‘Oh, that’s nice.’ But I don’t think I ever understood it until I felt it for a person.”
Wilson thought that many factors could have contributed to the fact that these feelings did not exist earlier.

“It could be that the guys I dated just weren’t right. Or yes, also, I wasn’t so open to intimacy back then, so I never allowed myself to feel real feelings,” she says. “And then it was the first time with a tennis player.” In Rebel Rising Wilson writes candidly about his career, his iconic roles in films like bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect, as well as more vulnerable moments in her life, such as her experience with fertility, food and her sexuality. In February 2023, Wilson announced her engagement to Ramon Agrum on Instagram. In December 2023, Wilson also spoke about the writing process Rebel Rising on Instagram.
