As reported byPEOPLE, starRebel Wilsonrecently reflected on how having feelings for another woman led her to start a relationship with her fiancée Ramona Agruma. While appearing as a guest on the latest episode ofU Up?podcast,thePitch Perfectstar spoke about her “year-of-love” journeyduring which she “went out with anybody who asked me out.” Wilson added, “I went out with about 50 different people, and I met a lot of them on Raya.”
Wilson then reflected on one specific woman that she ended up having feelings for, which the actor said: “totally came as, I don’t know… a blindside.”
She added, “It wasn’t what I was expecting to happen in that year. I never thought I was 100 percent straight, but I was only ever dating men.”
Wilson went on to reveal that she and the woman (who wasn’t named) started out as friends, and while the woman also had similar feelings for the comedian, “it didn’t end up going anywhere.”
Wilson continued, “But if I never had that little dalliance, I don’t think I would have ever been open to meeting Ramona. The person said they weren’t interested in dating me. So I, for the first time, kind of got dumped. Their career was very important, so I’m being very careful because they’re in the public eye as well. But I had all these feelings, and I never had feelings for a woman like that before so it was all new and exciting.”

While chatting with Drew Barrymore onThe Drew Barrymore Show, Wilson revealed how she managed to make her dream of having a Disneyland set engagement a reality and stated that she called Disney CEO Bob Iger to “special permission” to propose at Disneyland.
Wilson said, “He’s the big, big boss.And I thought, well, if he says yes, then it was meant to be, and I was meant to propose that day at Disneyland.”
She continued, “I had to get special permission to get a special area roped off and get the topiary trees in, and you know I had a violinist playing like Disney classics, and it was very… it was really romantic. I did go to the big boss to get permission.”
The star stated, “She said yes. And I was like, ‘Do I get down on one knee? What do I do?’ And I was like, ‘I may as well.’ So I got down on one knee, and then she [said], ‘Well, you may’t be the only one on your knee,’ so she got down as well.”
Wilson also noted that though the experience was “just beautiful,” she ended up needing to take a moment to process it because she’d “never been engaged before, or proposed to, or proposed.”
She added, “So it was such a huge thing in my life, and then we went on this new ride, and I go, ‘Hang on, I just have to, like,’ and I literally collapsed on the floor for five minutes. And then I go, ‘Okay, I’m good. Let’s get churros and move on.’ "
