Rebel Wilson recalled how her wife Ramona Arguma’s family was not at first “accepting” of their relationship
“It took them time, which is fair enough. They’re from a different culture,” the actress said

Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma’s relationship wasn’t always looked at in a positive light by their families.
During an appearance on SiriusXM Hits1’s show Ben +1, the Juliet & Romeo actress admitted that while her “family was very accepting of the relationship,” when it came to now-wife Agruma, “at first her family wasn’t.”
That was brief, however, since “all of [Agruma’s] beautiful family came” to their wedding in Italy last fall, “and it’s almost like there wasn’t any drama,” said Wilson, 45.
“It just took them a little bit of time,” the Pitch Perfect star explained. “I think some people from some cultures — because it was the same-sex wedding, I guess. They just needed a little bit of time, and now you wouldn’t even notice that anything had happened previously.”

Wilson and Agruma, 41, wed in September 2024. The actress is also mom to 2-year-old daughter Royce, whom she welcomed via surrogate in November 2022.
Of their extended family dynamic now, Wilson said on Ben +1, “It is a really happy ending, and we’ve just had both Ramona’s parents come and stay with us at our new house and stuff, so yeah. It was never feuding.”
“It took them time, which is fair enough,” she added. “They’re from a different culture, but all worked out in the end, which I think is a good message.”
Wilson and Agruma, the founder of a sustainable clothing brand, went public with their romance in June 2022, with the Senior Year star posting a cozy selfie of the couple on Instagram.
“I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince … but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess #loveislove,” she wrote in the caption.
PEOPLE recently chatted with Wilson and her Pitch Perfect costar Anna Kendrick on the set of their commercials for Splash Refresher, where Kendrick, 39, told her friend, “It’s very punk rock that you have a wife.”

“But then I’m like, ‘You’re a wife. What the f—?’ ” she joked in addition.
“Yeah, I know, it’s crazy,” agreed Wilson. “My life has definitely changed a lot in the last three years. It just went [in] a totally different direction, which I feel very grateful for. I’m very lucky.”
Kendrick met Agruma years ago at a birthday party of Wilson’s, she told PEOPLE. “It was so beautiful. That’s when we all fell in love with her.” (“We all” includes much of the Pitch Perfect franchise’s cast, who have remained close since those films’ breakout success.)
“Rebel’s the most unique person that I know and I couldn’t really picture who she was going to end up with,” continued Kendrick. “Then we all met Ramona and … it was like, ‘Oh, my God. There’s another one. There’s a second one that’s walking the earth.’ “
