"I was on and off on the Raya app, but this was a friend set up”
Rebel Wilson confirmed she is in a relationship.
During an appearance on the "U Up?" podcast, the "Pitch Perfect" star revealed that she had recently found love, telling show hosts, "I am now happily in a relationship."
After trying her hand at a celebrity dating app, Wilson revealed that the couple had been set up by a mutual friend.
"I was on and off on the Raya app, but this was a friend set up," she explained. "He'd known both of us for at least five years each, and was like, 'Yeah, I think you two would hit it off,' and then we did."

Back in February 2021, People Magazine reported that Rebel had split with her ex-boyfriend Jacob Busch after making their relationship Instagram official four months before.
"Jacob was an amazing guy but just not the one for her long-term," the publication reported a friend of Wilson's said of Busch.
