Rebel Wilson shares huge personal news
Rebel Wilson was bombarded with messages and presents as she celebrated her 42nd birthday on March 2nd – but one gift stood out above the rest.
The Australian actress took to Instagram to share a series of photos with her followers from her festivities at the One & Only luxury resort and spa in Los Cabos.
On her Instagram Stories, Rebel also revealed a photo of a new identity card that confirmed her position as a temporary resident of the United States. "Wow. The most wonderful birthday present has just come! "She penned something.
While Rebel has blacked out the majority of the card's contents, fans can see her complete name – Rebel Melanie Eliz Wilson – as well as the nation where she was born.
Sue, Rebel's mother, has previously remarked about her children's unique names - Rebel has a brother named Ryot, as well as sisters Liberty and Annachi.
Sue told the court during her daughter's defamation case against Woman's Day in 2017 that her daughter's name was inspired by a tiny child in her year one class who sang We've Only Just Begun by the Carpenters.
Her second daughter was called Liberty because, as a dog breeder, she likes to name "by themes," and her third was named Annaleise - however, she goes by Anarchic.
"I wanted my children to be allowed to do anything they wanted and to be able to stand up for themselves," Sue told the court.
She went on to say that, while she had named her baby Rebel for the first six weeks of her life, she "bowed to the pressure" of her husband and family to give her a more "appropriate name."
Melanie was formally named after Melanie Safka, a 1960s singer best known for the song Alexander Beetle. In 2002, Rebel officially changed her identity from Melanie Elizabeth Bownds to Rebel.
Rebel Melanie Elizabeth Wilson is a well-known Australian actress who specializes in comedic roles. She is also a producer and a writer.
Melanie Elizabeth Wilson was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, in 1980. Her parents, who worked as dog handlers, used to travel over the nation selling canine items, therefore her childhood was somewhat unusual.
