Rebel Wilson dating comedian Mickey Gooch Jr.

A source close to the Australian star said: "They get along really well, they respect each other's work."

The comedienne has been spending time with Mickey despite her hectic schedule and they attended a New York Rangers game at Madison Square Garden together earlier this week.

Mickey was also spotted at the premiere of her new movie in Los Angeles at the beginning of this month.

The insider told UsMagazine.com: "She's been too busy to date for awhile, they've been texting often and they've been spending some time together in L.A. and New York."

Rebel previously admitted she has had to "sacrifice relationships" because of her career.

She also told Australia's Elle magazine: "I'm constantly moving and constantly travelling and so it's really hard to maintain a relationship in that kind of environment. I keep that [part of my life] quiet. You have to have some private stuff, and so I've never flaunted anything or talked about anybody."

Meanwhile, official business records have reportedly confirmed the actress, who was recently accused of lying about her name and age, is 35 years old and not 29, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

She was also originally born Melanie Elizabeth Bownds before changing her name.
