Rebel Wilson has slammed the speculation over her ‘situationship’ with a female tennis player.
The Australian actress, 44, who discusses the romance in her upcoming memoir Rebel Rising, says her relationship with the unnamed sportsperson allowed her to understand what love was for the first time.
In a post to Instagram Stories on Friday, Rebel pleaded with fans to stop trying to guess who the anonymous woman is.
‘Please stop speculating about the “tennis player” in my book’ she wrote.
‘It is NOT anyone I follow on social media or have been publicly photographed with!’ Rebel added.

Rebel has said that the romance led to her contemplating quitting fame.
Before Wilson struck up a romance with now-fiancée Ramona Agruma, she had only publicly dated men, with the star writing in a memoir excerpt per People that she never felt fully invested in those relationships.
She wrote: ‘Sometimes, when I was dating men, people would even comment. They’re like, “God, Rebel, you can take them or leave them. You weren’t that ever invested.”‘
‘And then, here was somebody where [I] felt so invested in and even thought at one point, “Oh, I could give up my career for this person, travel around the world on the tennis circuit”.’

‘I describe it as cracking open my heart. Like you could open a fresh can of tennis balls…that’s what it did to me. And, I guess, when I saw people write love songs or poetry about love, I was like, “Oh, that’s nice”. But I don’t think I’d ever understood that until I felt that for a person.”
‘It could have been that just the guys I was dating just weren’t the one. Or that, also, I wasn’t open to intimacy that much back then, so I never allowed myself to feel real feelings. And then the first time was with the tennis player.’
Rebel is known for her passion for tennis and has frequently attended matches all over the world and posed up with the world’s greatest players.
Rebel and Ramona originally met in 2021.
The pair eventually began dating, and they made their red carpet debut in March of last year and they announced their engagement in February last year.
The Bridesmaids star announced the birth of daughter Royce in November 2022, mentioning in her post how starting her own family had been years in the making.
‘Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate,’ she wrote.
The star is known for her love of tennis – previously holding aspirations to be a professional player
