SURPRISE ENGAGEMENT
This has been a huge week for Rebel who just days prior announced her engagement to her girlfriend Ramona Agruma after only seven months of dating, according to a report.
Sources told Page Six that the pair were allegedly buzzing about their happy news at a Halloween party hosted by Casamigos recently.
An insider told the outlet: “They were making out in a corner and telling everyone how excited they are to be engaged.”
Both Rebel and Ramona had diamond rings on their left ring fingers, typically reserved for engagement or wedding jewelry.
Page Six reported that the proposal took place a few weeks ago, though it’s not clear exactly when.
Prior to her relationship with Ramona, Rebel was linked to Budweiser heir Jacob Busch.
The couple called it quits in February 2021 after roughly a year together.
NEW ROMANCE
In May, Rebel teased her new romance, saying only that she was “happily in a relationship” while appearing on Jordana Abraham and Jared Freid’s U Up podcast.
But she did not reveal her romance with Ramona until nearly a year after her breakup with Jacob.
In June, the Pitch Perfect star announced that she was dating the fashion designer.
Rebel posted a sweet photo of herself and Ramona.
She captioned the pic: “I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess #loveislove.”
She included rainbow and heart emojis in the post.
The social media snap marked the first time the Australian star had been publicly linked to a woman in a romantic way.
A source close to the Senior Year star told PEOPLE: “Rebel’s in an amazing place and I’ve never seen her happier.”
During her appearance on U Up, Rebel revealed that she met Ramona through “a friend setup.”
“He had known both of us for at least five years and he thought we would hit it off — and then we did!” she said of the person who set them up.

“I think that escalates things quicker, meeting someone from a trusted source. I can trust that they are who they say they are, which is something that you don’t really know on the apps,” she explained at the time.
Rebel later confirmed that she was talking about Ramona, whom she has seemingly been dating for months.
