This morning, Australian actress and Hollywood heavyweight Rebel Wilson debuted her new relationship with girlfriend Ramona Agruma on Instagram.
Now, Aussie actor Hugh Sheridan has revealed that it was actually them who set the cute couple up.
“I’m a bit of a matchmaker in my spare time, I like to set people up and I’ve got a very good success rate. A few marriages in there,” the Packed to the Rafters star told 2Day FM’s Hughesy, Ed and Erin this morning.
Sheridan revealed that his pals Wilson and Agruma were both “really hard” to set up, but they eventually has a light bulb moment when they realised the two women would be perfect for each other.
“Ramona is really smart, she speaks lots of languages … and Rebel is very smart. I was in New York and I’d just split up with my ex and was feeling very sad and Rebel said, ‘I just can’t imagine how you feel because I’ve never been in love before,’ and I thought, gosh she’s a hard one to crack,” they explained.
“But then I just had this thought that maybe I’m looking in the wrong spot. I think a woman who’s that successful needs a very strong man … But a woman with a woman who’s successful, maybe they’d just lift each other up … Then I thought of Ramona straight away.
“I said … Give me a minute … and I told Rebel later on that it’s a girl,” They added.
