'I've been going through some serious stuff in my personal life and to have this beautiful new person come into my life... it's just been amazing,' the 44-year-old actress revealed in her candid post.

Wilson's social media followers and celebrity friends flooded the comments with supportive messages, celebrating the touching family reunion that proves truth can indeed be stranger—and more wonderful—than fiction.
The actress, known for her roles in Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect, has been open about her personal journey in recent years, including her significant weight loss journey and focus on health and happiness.
