Rebel Wilson named actor she lost virginity to aged 35 and said it 'might be news to him'
In her book Rebel Rising, Rebel Wilson named the actor she'd lost her virginity to.
These days, the 45-year-old Pitch Perfect star is married to Ramona Agruma, with the couple having tied the knot last year, but a decade before that is when she lost her virginity.
Wilson explained to People (the magazine, not just people in general) that she'd discussed losing her virginity at the age of 35 to send a 'positive message' that 'not everybody has to lose their virginity as a teenager'.
She said she hoped people would feel comfortable to 'wait till they're ready or wait till they're a bit more mature' and 'shouldn't feel pressure as a young person'.

Speaking of how she used to dodge the question, Wilson said she 'would just leave the room when the conversation was happening' and remembered making up that she'd 'did it to just get it over with when I was like 23' to avoid further questions.
She remembered being in rooms where the topic of conversation would turn to sex, as it occasionally does, and someone said losing virginity at 24 was 'so late' which left her thinking she was 'going to look like the biggest loser'.
In a chapter of Rebel Rising titled 'Late Bloomer', she revealed that when she was 35, she lost her virginity to the actor and comedian Mickey Gooch Jr.
"And, Micks, I know this might be news to you if you are reading this, but yes I lost my virginity to you," she wrote.
Wilson said she used to watch porn movies 'in preparation' for her first time.
"I'd imagine having sex and being intimate and everything would always be in my head," she added, before explaining that she was 'loving it' now she 'lives much more in my body'.
Wilson and Gooch had been dating back in 2015 before splitting up, though even after they parted ways he had kind words for her.
Back in 2021, he posted a picture of Wilson and said: "Throwback Thursday… cheers to the most beautiful girl I know.!… Inside and out. ‘The Full Package’."
So it seems they parted ways on good terms.
A year later, Wilson announced she was in a relationship with Ramona Agruma and in that same year, they welcomed their first child together via a surrogate.
They got engaged in 2023 and married last year, though last summer, Wilson said that even though they were just a few months out from the wedding, she hadn't spoken to her fiancé's family yet but was 'really excited to meet them'.
"Ramona was born in Latvia, and it's not as LGBTQ+ friendly as other countries are," she said.
"I just think some people need a bit more time - and some people won't ever come around to it, and that's fine, and that's their decision.
"There are still parts of the world that aren't as accepting."
LADbible has contacted Mickey Gooch Jr for comment.
