Rebel Wilson has revealed she is "trying" to have a baby solo.

The Australian actress said "because of the biological clock" she has started her motherhood journey, which she describes as "an emotional rollercoaster".

The 42-year-old revealed an appointment with a fertility specialist in 2019 actually sparked her 37kg weight loss across her "year of health" in 2020.

"It's almost like I didn't think of my own needs. I thought of a future child's needs that really inspired me to get healthier."

Wilson said she sympathised with others going through the fertility process, saying she had days with good calls from the doctor and other days when the news was not so great.

The 42-year-old said she had to regain her self-worth and recognise why she was emotionally eating, which was harder work than the diet and exercise but says it made her a better actress Instagram

"It's really been an emotional rollercoaster. I don't know how it's going to end. But I'm still trying and I'm still young enough to try," she said.

The actress, who has previously spoken about her years-long battle with polycystic ovarian syndrome, said she was "just going for it by myself at the moment".

"If I meet the right person, great, and then they can fit in with whatever happens," she said.
