'Pitch Perfect' Star Rebel Wilson And Boyfriend Jacob Busch Split After Less Than A Year Of Dating
Another celeb couple bites the dust.
Cubankite / Shutterstock Actress Rebel Wilson made headlines in 2020 after she went public with her younger man, who happens to be the heir to a massive fortune.
She met Anheuser-Busch heir Jacob Busch in 2019 through mutual friends, and the 40-year-old comedic actress had been spending time with Jacob ever since.
On Sept. 24, the Pitch Perfect actress finally took her relationship with Jacob public by posting a cute pic of herself and her hunky, younger beau posing in front of a private jet with friends and fellow celebs Kate Beckinsale and Helen Mirren.
However, less than a year after first getting together, Wilson and Busch have called it quits.
Who is Rebel Wilson's boyfriend, Jacob Busch?
Read on for everything to know about Wilson's former flame.
They went Instagram official in Sept. 2020.
"They are officially boyfriend and girlfriend," a source said on Sept. 24. "He's a gentleman, has very old school manners and treats her well. He is also very health conscious and they've been motivating each other with their health journeys."
"Now she's making it official by making her red carpet debut with him at the Planetary Health Gala in Monaco and attending a private dinner with Prince Albert hosted by Isabelle Bscher & Galerie Gmurzynska," the source added.
Rebel Wilson and Jacob Busch met through mutual friends.
Reportedly, Rebel and Jacob met though mutual friends at a Hollywood bungalow, and their first date was at Santa Monica's Catch restaurant.
"She makes him laugh and he cannot get enough of her," a source close to Rebel said at the time. The couple were also spotted getting cozy while taking in the musical Cats at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood.
Jacob Busch's family is basically beer royalty.
Jacob Busch is a part of the Anheuser-Busch family, who sold their company to InBev in 2008.
His father is Peter W. Busch, a descendant of Adolphus Busch who co-founded the brewery in 1852. The family fortune is estimated to be worth $13.4 billion.
Jacob Busch has a history with older women.
Jacob Busch previously dated 59-year-old former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Adrienne Maloof for several years.
The former couple started dating in 2013, when Adrienne was 52 and Jacob was 24.
They dated on and off for about two years and split amicably in 2015. It seems young Jacob has a thing for pretty, older blonde women, seeing as Rebel is 40 and he's yet to hit his 30s.
He's very romantic.
"Jacob is very romantic. He made [Rebel] dinner at his penthouse recently and he is telling friends that he is falling in love with her," a source said.
Rebel Wilson was looking for love — and found it in Busch at the time.
Back in February, Rebel Wilson talked about her search for the right guy at the premiere of Isn't It Romantic. “I’m looking for a guy with definitely some kind of strength," she said. "If I feel like I could beat them in a jelly wrestling competition, then maybe that’s not the dude for me."
Wilson took to Instagram to announce her "single" status.
The How To Be Single actress took to Instagram on February 2 to reveal to her followers that she's now a single lady!
"Lots on my mind...aghhhhhh...#single-girl-heading-to-Super-Bowl!" she captioned a pic of herself outside of a trailer on what looks like a set.
Sources also confirmed that Wilson and Busch's relationship had "just run its course."
Fans rushed to the comments section of the post to support Wilson, with one fan writing, "Just remember that you can only control your own actions and responses and break issues down into smaller resolutions you CAN control. And trust your gut. Always trust your gut."
Another simply wrote, "Love you so much."
Although breakups can be sad, it looks like Rebel is totally embracing her new single girl status, and has tons of support coming her way from fans and friends alike.
