Rebel Wilson shares photos from her baby shower hours after announcing she has become a mum

Rebel Wilson gave an insight into her lavish baby shower just hours after revealing that she had secretly welcomed her first child via surrogate.

The Australian actress, 42, shocked fans with the news on Monday (November 7), as she shared a first look at her adorable newborn daughter, whom she has named Royce Lillian.

Now, the Bridesmaids star has posted pictures from her baby shower, which was co-hosted by her fashion designer girlfriend, Ramona Agruma.

In the snaps, the proud new mum can be seen sporting a pink Valentino dress and silver heels as she tucked into tasty-looking treats with Agruma and five friends, with a fancy house decked out with balloons as the backdrop.

While a third sees her happily embracing Agruma, who is wearing a frilly white dress and light-blue designer bag.

“Congrats @rebelwilson loved showering you and Baby Royce,” actress Carly Steel captioned a cute group shot, which showed them all sitting down next to a large teddy bear.

“Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate,” the Bridesmaids star captioned her post.
