In his Instagram bio, Stay describes himself as a “public figure, SAG-AFTRA stuntman actor, proud single dad of two amazing little girls, [and an] animal lover.” He has played the role of a stuntman in several movies such as Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Den of Thieves, and a short film titled The Boundaries.
Jacob Busch
Until 2019, Wilson had not been involved in any high-profile relationships. In early 2019, she was linked to Jacob Busch, an heir to Anheuser-Busch. The duo was first spotted together when they went to see the movie Cats at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood in March 2019.
According to an insider who spoke with Radar Online at the time,
“It was not their first date. They met through mutual friends at a Hollywood bungalow about a month ago, and their first date was at Catch restaurant in Santa Monica. She makes him laugh, and he cannot get enough of her!”
The rumours about their relationship were never confirmed. However, after Wilson was briefly linked with another businessman, she and Jacob officially got “back together” in September 2020. The couple made their relationship public by posting pictures with each other on their social media handles. In February 2021, Wilson and Busch called it quits. According to US Weekly, Wilson was the one who called off their relationship via a text message.
‘They went to Aspen right before the holidays and had a blast. Then, he left for Florida to be with his family, and he invited her because he wanted her to meet [them] but she never committed to doing that. They talked throughout the holidays and had excellent communication, but then, all of a sudden, she got really quiet and broke up with him via text message about two or three weeks ago.”
Jeff Beacher
Rebel Wilson was rumoured to be in a relationship with Jeff Beacher, the founder of Beacher Media Group, around the same time as her fling with an L.A. nightclub entrepreneur. The duo made their relationship public on Instagram in May 2019, while Wilson’s fling with the nightclub entrepreneur occurred in February of the same year.
There were no official reports about their split, however, in September 2020, Rebel Wilson officially reunited with her ex-boyfriend Jacob Busch.
