Rebel Wilson wants to help you widen your dating pool. The Australian-born actor is launching a new dating app designed to help curious singles of any sexual orientation to match and meet new people.
Fluid, which is expected to be available in the App Store in the coming weeks, will use the “latest matchmaking technology and an advanced filtering algorithm” to help users connect with prospective friends, hookups, dates, and significant others without the restraints of a person’s immutable sexuality.
“Whether you’re straight, queer, questioning, heteroflexible, bisexual, pansexual, gay, lesbian, open to exploring, anywhere on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum or you prefer not to put a label on your sexuality, Fluid is for you, regardless of your sexual identity,” according to the app’s description. “Everyone belongs to the Fluid community.”
“What’s really cool is, it’s open to everyone,” Wilson, one of the app’s cofounders, told People in a story published on Valentine’s Day.
The “Pitch Perfect” star, who announced she was in a romantic relationship with clothing designer Ramona Agruma last summer, added that she wished that “this was around five years ago.”
“I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess,” Wilson wrote on Instagram at the time, sharing a photo of the couple, adding two heart emojis, a Pride rainbow, and the hashtag #loveislove.
An app like Fluid “would have really helped me and maybe I would have stumbled upon a female’s profile and been like, ‘OK, maybe I do want to message them,’” the 42-year-old actress told People.
“I never thought I was 100% straight,” she said. “I don’t quite know how to define my sexuality, but I do know there’s a lot of people out there that don’t want to totally define it either.”
Wilson, who’s also the new mom to 3-month-old baby Royce Lillian, born via surrogate, said she was “shocked” to realize how “deep” and “instant” her connection with Agruma was — when until then she thought she was “really looking for a husband.”
