Rebel Wilson makes cryptic post on her rumoured relationship with tennis player Matt Reid as she calls 2021 the ‘year of the rainbow’


Rebel Wilson has been on an incredible journey over the past year, where she filmed several new movies, turned 40 and celebrating losing a whopping 35kgs.

And on Monday, the actress reflected on 2021 in an Instagram post and admitted it was ‘the year of the rainbow after a storm’.

‘Peace out for 2021. What a year! It started in LA with POOCH PERFECT for ABC – bringing me back to my roots of growing up in a dog showing family and selling dog products out of a yellow caravan at dog shows,’ the Pitch Perfect star wrote.

‘THEN it was off to the UK to film THE ALMOND & THE SEAHORSE with a dream cast of European actors and where I play a very different role to what you guys are used to seeing me in.’

Rebel explained she then filmed Netflix’s new film Senior Year before celebrating her 40th birthday on a private island, which was ‘the best week of my entire life’.

‘You have to celebrate – life is short and you just have to love and live it. I shot some great campaigns for @ollywellness @afterpayus @tourismfiji and am a proud ambassador for the LA Rams whom I hope get to the SuperBowl this season!’

Brighter days are here: 'Thank you everyone for being on this epic year with me! I love you guys. You know how I've been theming my years for the past few years? Well this year was the The Year of The Rainbow… after the storm always comes the rainbow,' she wrote on Instagram

It comes after Rebel continued to fuel chatter of a romance with tennis star Matt Reid.

The pair were spotted getting cosy over breakfast at a cafe in Hornsby, Sydney near Matt’s family home on Friday, looking every inch the budding new couple.

During their breakfast, the pair were seen laughing and joking together, with Rebel unable to hide her broad smile.

Rebel and Matt first sparked romance rumours when they attended the AACTA Awards together earlier this month. 

It’s believed Rebel met the tennis star through Bachelor star Brittany Hockley, who’s dating another Australian tennis player, Jordan Thompson.

Rebel and former Bachelor star Brittany are close friends, while Matt knows Jordan through tennis.
