 “[Ramona] went above and beyond to make it a special day”... “so amazing and such a great partner. It was the most gorgeous baby shower with friends from around the world”, added The Hustle star.

When it came to choosing a name for her new arrival, Rebel chose a unique name for a very special reason. “I wanted an original name starting with the letter R and so eventually landed on that one”.

“Lillian and Elizabeth are both family names carried by women in my family who I admire", how moving! "Elizabeth, which is also my middle name, after the late Queen”, she added.

Wilson described the feeling of holding her daughter for the first time as “overwhelming and exciting”. “My love for her is just overflowing. She is gorgeous and perfect. I felt like, 'Wow, this is such a precious miracle’”.

We wish Rebel the best of luck as she starts this hugely exciting chapter in her life and can’t wait to hear updates on little Royce.
