Rebel Wilson tells fans she lost weight to improve her chances of falling pregnant

Actress Rebel Wilson has revealed the reason behind her dramatic 30kg weight loss — and it wasn’t because of vanity or to land more Hollywood roles.

Rebel Wilson has opened up about her drastic weight loss, saying the main reason behind the high-profile slim down was to improve her chances of starting a family.

The 41-year-old actress took to an Instagram Live chat this week to reveal she shed 30kg in order to have a “better chance” of falling pregnant.

Rebel Wilson has lost 30kg to improve her chances of having a baby.

The actress started her health journey in 2020.

That is such a massive question, but I’m going to try to answer it for you,” Wilson said in response to a fan asking why she decided to embark on her health journey in 2020.

“It first started when I was looking into fertility stuff and the doctor was like, ‘Well, you’d have a much better chance if you were healthier’.”

The Isn’t It Romantic star was initially offended at her doctor’s comments because she believed she was “pretty healthy” at her weight.

But she decided to shape up for her future.

“That’s kind of what started it, that if I lost some excess weight that it would give me a better chance for freezing eggs and having the eggs be a better quality,” she said.

Wilson had previously hinted at her fertility setback in May, posting a shout-out on Instagram to other women trying to conceive.

“To all the women out there struggling with fertility, I feel ya,” she said at the time, adding, “the universe works in mysterious ways and sometimes it all doesn’t make sense … but I hope there’s light about to shine through all the dark clouds.”
