Rebel talks about Jacob Busch

The actress was reading out one of the questions of her fans on her Instagram Live. She said:

“Someone’s asking me if ‘the hot guy on your Instagram is your boyfriend,’ ”

Answering this question, she said:

“Yes, that is correct.”

And she continued:

“He’s a very private person, so I don’t like to give away too much in that department,”

Further, she revealed that she and Jacob began dating before she started her weight loss journey:

“But I will say we dated before I started any of this health journey, as well as now.”

She inferred for her female fans:

“So that goes to show you, ladies: you don’t have to be a certain size to get a boyfriend,”

This would serve as a boost and a positive encouragement for her female fan following who are overweight and obese.
