Rebel Wilson and wife Ramona Agruma welcome second daughter Rose Estelle, amid ongoing defamation case

The announcement comes just days after the Australian star gave evidence in the high-profile trial.

Rebel Wilson has announced the birth of her second child just days after giving evidence in her defamation trial.

The Australian actress and her wife, fashion designer Ramona Agruma, shared the happy news on Tuesday, as the high-profile lawsuit continues this week in Sydney for closing arguments.

Wilson revealed they have named their baby girl Rose Estelle.

The couple are already parents to three-year-old Royce Lillian Elizabeth, who they welcomed via surrogate.

“Proud to announce the birth of our 2nd daughter Rose Estelle!” Wilson posted on Instagram.

“What a gorgeous blessing to have another little girl!

“Now on May 4th it’s now 4 of us!

“Ramona and I are feeling so incredibly grateful and blessed to grow our family, thank you everyone for all the well wishes.”

Wilson shared a photo of their newborn wrapped in a blanket and wearing a large bow.

She also posted a picture of herself in the delivery room, along with a sweet image of the siblings together.

The couple first announced they were expecting their second child in December last year, sharing the news in a joint post and expressing excitement at becoming a family of four.

In an Instagram reel shared at the time, Agruma revealed a positive pregnancy test before showing off her growing baby bump.

Rebel Wilson court case

The happy news comes as Wilson remains embroiled in a bitter legal battle with the star of her directorial debut The Deb.

Charlotte MacInnes is suing Wilson after starring in the film.

MacInnes claims she was defamed by Wilson in social media posts that suggested she was a liar and a sellout who withdrew a sexual harassment complaint to advance her career.

The posts alleged MacInnes confided to Wilson, but later recanted, that she felt uncomfortable when the film’s co-producer Amanda Ghost asked to have a shower and a bath together while staying in Sydney’s Bondi.

Wilson has rejected accusations she fabricated the sexual harassment complaint or raised it for leverage during her disputes with co-producers rather than out of concern for her co-star.

She maintains MacInnes “flip flopped” and changed her story in exchange for “huge enticements” including a lead role in a stage production and a record deal.

The high-profile lawsuit was expected to wrap on Friday but will instead return to court this week for closing arguments.
