Long before Rebel Wilson found The One with Ramona Agruma, she hit a relationship milestone with Mickey Gooch Jr.

Wilson and Gooch Jr. were first linked in May 2015 after they attended a New York Rangers game together. Later that month, Us Weekly confirmed that Wilson and Gooch Jr. were introduced while they worked on the movie How to Be Single.

“They get along really well, they respect each other’s work,” a source exclusively told Us at the time. “She’s been too busy to date for a while, they’ve been texting often and they’ve been spending some time together in L.A. and New York.”

In July 2015, the duo made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of Gooch Jr.’s movie Ur In Analysis in West Hollywood.
