NEWSRebel Wilson Sparks Dating Rumors With Tennis Hottie Matt Reid After Jaw-Dropping Body Transformation
'Tis the season!
Rebel Wilson has sparked dating rumors with tennis hottie Matt Reid, nearly one year after her sudden split from beer heir Jacob Busch.
The Pitch Perfect star and the athlete have been spending a lot of quality time together, reported Daily Mail. They were spotted hanging out back in August at the U.S. Open in New York and again earlier this month when they attended the AACTA Awards together.
Whispers in the tennis world are saying the duo "could be more than just friends," per the outlet. The 41-year-old actress is a huge fan of tennis, so it makes sense the 31-year-old pro would catch her eye.
Reid is an Australian born athlete and began playing tennis at the ripe age of seven. He also reportedly goes by the nickname "Reidy."
The Bridesmaids star's rumored fling comes on the heels of Wilson taking control of her health and dropping a whopping 77 pounds. OK! reported the comedian noticed those around her began treating her differently ever since she got into better shape after declaring 2020 her "Year of Health."
"What's been interesting is how people treat you. Sometimes being bigger, people didn't necessarily look twice at you," she candidly admitted earlier this month in an interview. "Now that I’m in good shape, people offer to carry my groceries to the car and hold doors open for [me]. That, to me, has been really interesting."
Although strangers appreciated the Pooch Perfect alum's new appearance, Wilson revealed her professional team didn't take kindly to her weight loss.
"I got a lot of pushback from my own team actually, here in Hollywood, when I said 'OK, I'm going to do this year of health, I feel like I'm really gonna physically transform and change my life,'" the comedian spilled. "And they were like why? Why would you wanna do that? Because I was earning millions of dollars being the funny fat girl and being that person."
The Jojo Rabbit star was able to shed the jaw-dropping amount of weight after making a few simple life changes such as cutting out sweets and adopting a healthy relationship with working out.
