Rebel Wilson is a mom for the first time, the actress and comedian announced via Instagram Monday. "Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate," the 42-year-old wrote. "I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle! I am forever grateful to everyone who has been involved, (you know who you are), this has been years in the making…but particularly wanted to thank my gorgeous surrogate who carried her and birthed her with such grace and care. Thank you for helping me start my own family, it’s an amazing gift. The BEST gift!!"

"I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable," she concluded. "I am learning quickly…much respect to all the Mums out there! Proud to be in your club." As People reports, Wilson has been dating fashion and jewelry designer Ramona Agruma since at least early June, when they went public with their relationship. (But they are not engaged, as Wilson recently clarified, per Yahoo Entertainment.) Wilson has been open about her struggles with polycystic ovarian syndrome, which can affect fertility, and said earlier this year that she lost 80 pounds in part because she wanted to give herself the best chance of harvesting and freezing healthy eggs for a future baby.
