Sharon Stone supports Rebel Wilson after admitting to fertility struggles

Rebel Wilson has thanked fans in a heartfelt update to her cryptic Instagram post on Sunday in which she revealed her fertility struggles.

The Bridesmaids star, 41, edited her post with an addendum which said: ‘Just wanted to say I woke up this morning and read through everyone’s kind messages and stories about their journeys and I can’t tell you how much that meant to me and has made me feel a lot better today.’

Rebel added: ‘Social media for the win here in terms of creating connection when I was in a very lonely place. So thank you everyone.’ 

Among the supporters flooding Rebel with positive comments were celebrities like Sharon Stone, Jillian Bell and Gage Edward.

Sharon, who is known for her films Basic Instinct and The Quick and the Dead, commented: ‘Been there repeatedly there is good news I have three beautiful sons.’

The actress, 63, adopted her three sons, Quinn, Roan and Laird, because an autoimmune disease made it difficult for her to carry a pregnancy to full term.

She had suffered several miscarriages during her marriage to ex-husband Phil Bronstein, before eventually deciding on adoption.

Brittany Runs a Marathon actress Jillian Bell added: ‘Sending you love Rebel’.

Flipping Out star Gage Edward simply commented a prayer hands emoji. 

Rebel had suggested she was ‘struggling with fertility’ in her cryptic Instagram post shared on Sunday night.

The Pooch Perfect host, who split from her boyfriend Jacob Busch after a year of dating in February, shared an image of herself standing by the ocean, along with a caption that suggested she had received ‘bad news’.

In the post, she penned: ‘I got some bad news today and didn’t have anyone to share it with… but I guess I gotta tell someone. To all the women out there struggling with fertility, I feel ya…

‘The universe works in mysterious ways and sometimes it all doesn’t make sense… but I hope there’s light about to shine through all the dark clouds.’

Last year, Rebel revealed she wanted to improve her health because she had decided to freeze her eggs.

She explained: ‘I was thinking about fertility and having good quality eggs in the bank, so I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to do this. I’m going to get healthy.”

As part of her ‘year of health’, the Pain & Gain star shed a whopping 30kg in 2020.

Then in early February, Rebel split from her boyfriend Jacob Busch, after the couple had dated for a little more than a year. 

The comedian and the businessman made their first red carpet appearance together at Prince Albert’s Planetary Health Gala in Monaco in September 2020.   

Prior to her relationship with Jacob, Rebel briefly dated stuntman Aden Stay in 2017.

Meanwhile, Rebel previously insisted she has been treated differently since shedding 66 pounds.

She said: ‘I think what’s been really interesting is how other people treat you. Sometimes being bigger, people didn’t necessarily look twice at you…

‘Now that I’m in good shape, people offer to carry my groceries to the car and hold doors open for you. I’m like, is this what other people experienced all the time? …

‘I also find it interesting that people pay so much attention to a weight-loss transformation, when there’s so much going on in the world.’

The ‘Bridesmaids’ star recently admitted she feels ‘so sad’ that she spent 20 years overweight as she admitted she piled on the pounds over the years because she didn’t love herself ‘in the right way’.

She said: ‘I wasn’t loving myself in the way that I should from 20 to 40 – that’s 20 years. I feel so sad that I did that to myself, just not loving yourself in the right way … 

‘I’d eat with any emotion. If I was stressed or had exams coming up. But then I’d also eat if I was really happy, like I went out on an awesome night and had a great time. 

‘Other people would just go home and go to bed but I’ll be like, ‘What am I going to do? I’ll just eat these chips and then go to bed.”

Prior to her latest post, Rebel has been spending time in the UK filming her new movie.  

Rebel had been shooting scenes with her co-star Charlotte Gainsbourg for upcoming drama The Almond and the Seahorse in Merseyside, England.

According to Deadline, The Almond and The Sea Horse is a feature adaptation of Kaite O’Reilly’s stage play of the same name.

The project – directed by Tom Stern and Celyn Jones – follows the journeys of an architect and an archaeologist as they attempt to save their relationships after suffering brain injuries.

While Rebel’s role is yet to be revealed, she joins Celyn, Danish performer Trine Dyrholm and The Kumars at No. 42 icon Meera Syal in the star-studded indie film.
