Los Angeles, California - Rebel Wilson is known for her contagious smiles and cheeky quips, but in her latest Instagram post, the actor took an unexpectedly serious tone.

In the post, the 41-year-old is dressed from head to toe in black as she looks towards the ground with a pensive expression on her face. Behind her, the vast sea extends below a melancholy sunset.

The text accompanying the image is full of emotion: "I got some bad news today," she begins before addressing her female fans.

"To all the women out there struggling with fertility, I feel ya. The universe works in mysterious ways and sometimes it all doesn’t make sense," she continues to write.
