Rebel Wilson and Mickey Gooch Jr dated for six months

In her memoir, which was published on April 2, 2024, Wilson also mentioned that one of the reasons she waited to have s*x until she was 35 was because she felt no one would find her "s*xually attractive" as a "big girl." However, she opened up after meeting Mickey, she wrote in her memoir.

The actress revealed that her mother's breast cancer diagnosis further encouraged her to "live her life" as she realized "life is short." Rebel Wilson wrote in her memoir:

"Life IS short. I didn't want to live my life without experiencing s*x. Experiencing love. I put it out into the universe that I was finally ready. I was going to feel the fear and just do it. I was going to sl*t it up with the next guy that came along - who also seemed like a suitable marriage candidate."

Rebel Wilson wrote that she first had s*x in a hotel while she was filming for How To Be Single.

"And then it just happens. I finally have s*x. And I guess I get those lovely s*x chemicals into my body for the first time ever, which really bonds me to him. I’m at almost my highest weight, but this great guy finds me desirable. It feels amazing."

After losing her virginity to Mickey, she wanted to be with him "all the time," she wrote in the book.

"I'd imagine having s*x and being intimate and everything would always be in my head. Now I'm someone who lives much more in my body. And I'm loving it. Now I actually have a boyfriend and he's handsome and rich to boot.'"

The two broke up after six months but reportedly remained friends.
