Writing about her exes in a chapter titled Late Bloomer in her newly released memoir Rebel Rising, the Australian actress, 44, reveals her first sexual partner

Rebel Wilson has revealed the actor with whom she lost her virginity at the age of 35, delving into intimate details about their first night together.

In her newly-released memoir, "Rebel Rising," the Australian actress shared her first sexual encounter, naming actor and comedian Mickey Gooch Jr., now 38, as her first partner, unbeknownst to him at the time.

Recalling the experience, Rebel mentioned she was "almost at my highest weight" and had waited due to feeling that "as a big girl, no one would ever truly find me sexually attractive."

Expressing her chemistry with Mickey, Rebel included a personal message to him in her book, acknowledging that he may discover the truth about their intimate moment through her memoir: "And, Micks, I know this might be news to you if you are reading this, but yes I lost my virginity to you."

She shared that the event took place in a room at the Greenwich Hotel in New York while filming "How To Be Single" in 2016, a film where Mickey also had a role.

Rebel's decision to have sex was partly influenced by her mother's breast cancer diagnosis, prompting her to embrace life and not miss out on experiences like love and intimacy. She emphasized that people should feel empowered to make such decisions at their own pace.

Revealing that she was 'almost at my highest weight' at the time, she explained that one of the reasons she waited so long to have sex because she felt that 'as a big girl, no one would ever truly find me sexually attractive.

Rebel and Mickey dated for six months, but their relationship faced challenges, especially after she learned about Mickey's past struggles with addiction. Despite their split, they remained friends, and Mickey has since shared fond sentiments about Rebel.

In her memoir, Rebel also discussed her openness about her sexual history, hoping to inspire young people not to feel pressured about their experiences. She emphasized the importance of waiting until one feels ready and mature enough, echoing a message of self-empowerment.

Additionally, Rebel's memoir has stirred controversy, particularly concerning allegations against her former co-star Sacha Baron Cohen. However, unseen clips from the film in question seem to present a different perspective on the situation, highlighting the complexities of such claims in the entertainment industry.

Rebel, now engaged and a new mother, continues to share her experiences and insights, aiming to navigate the complexities of fame, relationships, and personal growth.
