Wilson told People in May that she lost weight in 2020 in hopes of becoming a mother because a fertility doctor had told her she would have a better chance of harvesting her eggs if she dropped some pounds, as reported by the Daily Mail.
Wilson's announcement of the birth of her baby comes just a few days after she denied speculations that she and her girlfriend Ramona Agruma were engaged.
In June, the 'Jojo Rabbit' star came out as a gay on Instagram along with a photo of herself and Agruma, an entrepreneur, after her shocking split from Jacob Busch in 2021. In the caption of the post, the actress gushed, "I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess."
