Rebel Wilson engaged to girlfriend Ramona Agruma

 Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma are engaged, the Australian actress shared on Instagram on Sunday.

“We said YES!” Wilson said in the post, which was accompanied by photos of the couple at Disneyland, where the engagement appears to have taken place. Wilson’s representative Marcy Engelman confirmed the couple is engaged in an email to CNN.

In the social media post, Wilson and Agruma were seen wearing matching pink and white sweaters surrounded by pink roses with Disneyland’s iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle in the background. A photo of Agruma’s Tiffany & Co. ring was also featured in the announcement.

Disneyland seems to be a fitting location for Wilson and Agruma, who went public with their relationship in June 2022.

“I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess,” Wilson said at the time.

Agruma is the founder of Lemon Ve Limon, a Los Angeles-based clothing brand, according to her Instagram biography.

It’s been a year of milestones for Wilson, who welcomed a daughter, Royce Lillian, via surrogate in November 2022.

I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle!” Wilson wrote in an Instagram post. “I am forever grateful to everyone who has been involved, (you know who you are), this has been years in the making…but particularly wanted to thank my gorgeous surrogate who carried her and birthed her with such grace and care.”

Kate Middleton and Prince William Watch as Queen Elizabeth Is Honored by Helen Mirren at BAFTAs

 

Helen Mirren, who played Queen Elizabeth II on screen, led the tribute at the 2023 BAFTA Awards as the late monarch's grandson was part of the live audience.


Kate Middleton and Prince William were among the live audience at the 2023 BAFTA Awards to watch Helen Mirren lead a tribute to Queen Elizabeth II.

Mirren, 77, took the stage to thank the late monarch for her "loyal support" of the British film industry during Sunday's awards show, after the Queen died at age 96 in September following a historic 70-year reign.

British film would not be where it is today without her loyal support," she started. "In 1952, her coronation had the world watching. From that time she was unquestionably the nation's leading lady, but as mysterious as a silent film star."

Who else would meet the world's most famous singers, actors and performers and turn them into her supporting cast? Throughout her 70-year reign, she met cinema's greatest icons and witnessed the evolution of Hollywood's golden age to the birth of the blockbuster," she continued. "Her Majesty was front row for it all."

Added Mirren: "She supported over 50 cultural organizations and in 2013 it was her turn to be honored with a BAFTA in recognition of the Queen's outstanding patronage of the film and television industry. Cinema at its best does what Her Majesty does effortlessly: bring us together and unite us."

The tribute then featured a clip with a previous statement from the Queen on the importance of the arts. "Through the creative genius of artists whether they be writers, actors, filmmakers, dancers or musicians we can see both the range of our cultures and the elements of our shared humanity," she said.

Mirren concluded: "Your Majesty, you are our nation's leading star. On behalf of BAFTA, thank you for all that you have done for our film and television industry.

The British actress famously played Queen Elizabeth in the 2006 movie The Queen, winning an Oscar and a BAFTA for her performance. She reprised the royal role for the Broadway play The Audience in 2015.

Mirren became a Dame (the female equivalent of a knight in the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for her services to drama in 2003 and got to meet the sovereign at a reception at Buckingham Palace in 2011.

In a statement released ahead of the tribute, BAFTA said, "The Queen occupies a unique place in BAFTA's history, a close association that spanned 50 years. Through her various patronages, The Queen was renowned for her support of the UK's creative industries."

The arts organization enjoyed a close association with Queen Elizabeth for most of her record-breaking reign. In addition to serving as patron of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, the Royal Variety Charity and the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, the Queen also gave her portion of the proceeds from the 1969 BBC documentary Royal Family to the Society of Film and Television Arts, BAFTA's predecessor, to establish a headquarters.

In 2013, the Queen accepted a BAFTA of her own. The honorary British Academy Special Award celebrated her decades-long support of film and television in the U.K.

This year marked a return to the awards ceremony for Prince William, 40, and Kate, 41, after not attending the past two years. In 2021, William pulled out of an appearance at the BAFTAs following Prince Philip's death. It was announced last year that the royal couple wouldn't attend the awards ceremony due to diary constraints.

Prince William has served as president of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts since 2010, following in the footsteps of his grandfather Prince Philip and aunt Princess Anne.

Kendall Jenner spotted getting intimate with Bad Bunny after Devin Booker split Kendall Jenner is reportedly dating Bad Bunny after her breakup from ex Devin Booker

 Kendall Jenner has sparked romance rumours with Bad Bunny after her breakup from Devin Booker.

The supermodel went “on a secret date” with the Puerto Rican rapper at The Bird Streets Club along with Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber, where they were spotted getting intimate.

Speculations about The Kardashians star and the Diles hitmaker initially began from host and celebrity gossiper Deuxmoi when they reported about the sighting with taking names.

However, the rumours were fueled after the names of Kendall and Bad Bunny were revealed in a subsequent podcast.

"This single, famous model sister was seen playing tonsil hockey with Bad Bunny at a private LA club over the weekend," the source stated.

"I have witnesses on the scene who saw [Kendall] leave the Bird Streets Club (in West Hollywood.)" the insider added.

"She left the club and got into her car to leave. Two minutes later they pulled Bad Bunny's car around."

Another source told The Sun that the rumoured new couple was again seen together at Nobu Malibu with the Peaches singer and his wife.

"It seems she was trying to avoid the paps, and he snuck out,” the insider said. "There weren't many there and I think one of the photographers didn't realize who he was.”

I know Kendall, Justin, and Hailey all arrived just before 8pm and left around 9pm, with Bad Bunny escaping later on.
