When Rebel Wilson announced her proposal to fiancee Ramona Agruma last week, she thanked Disney CEO Bob Iger in her Instagram post, as it turns out, for a good reason.
The 42-year-old actress appears on The Drew Barrymore Show in a new episode airing Thursday, March 2, with clips from the episode surfacing.
She popped the question to Agruma at the Disneyland resort in Anaheim, though she revealed in the episode that she actually reached out to Iger for special permission to pop the question at the beloved resort.
‘He’s the big, big boss and I thought, “Well, if he says yes, then it was meant to be, and I was meant to propose that day at Disneyland,’ Wilson said, adding Disneyland was, ‘the most magical proposal place on Earth.’
‘I had to get special permission to get a special area roped off and get the topiary trees in and, you know, I had a violinist playing like Disney classics, and it was very, really romantic,’ she added.

Wilson revealed she had never been engaged before and she wasn’t sure how to actually go about it.
‘She said yes. And I was like, “Do I get down on one knee? What do I do?” And I was like, “I may as well,” so I got down on one knee,’ Wilson said.
‘And then she was like, “What are you doing?” And goes, “Well, you can’t be the only one on your knee,’ so she got down as well,”‘ Wilson said, as Drew said, ‘because she’s a giver not a taker.’
‘It was just beautiful and she said yes and then I was like, “OK, great!,” Wilson said.
Wilson said she was, ‘so overwhelmed’ by the moment that, after going on a new ride at Disneyland, she needed some time to compose herself.
‘Afterwards we went on a ride, this new ride they had, and I kind of collapsed afterwards. Because I’d never been engaged before, or proposed to, or proposed. So it was such a huge thing in my life,’ she continued.
‘I literally collapsed on the floor for five minutes. And then I go, “OK, I’m good. Let’s get churros and move on,”‘ Wilson joked.
The couple went public with their relationship in June 2022, and Disney played a role in that as well, specifically in Wilson’s Instagram announcement.

‘I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess,’ Wilson said with the hashtag #loveislove.
The couple welcomed their first child via a surrogate in November, which Wilson announced on Instagram as well.
‘Beyond proud to announce the birth of my first child, Royce Lillian, born this past week via surrogate,’ she began.
‘I can’t even describe the love I have for her, she’s a beautiful miracle! I am forever grateful to everyone who has been involved, (you know who you are),’ she added.
‘This has been years in the making…but particularly wanted to thank my gorgeous surrogate who carried her and birthed her with such grace and care. Thank you for helping me start my own family, it’s an amazing gift. The BEST gift!!’ she added.
‘I am ready to give little Roycie all the love imaginable. I am learning quickly…much respect to all the Mums out there! Proud to be in your club,’ she concluded.
