The post comes not long after Wilson revealed that she had split up with her 29-year-old boyfriend of two years, Jacob Busch – the billionaire heir to the company Anheuser-Busch.

In a new interview with Extra, Wilson opened up about the breakup as well as her dramatic weight loss.

Wilson stated:

"Any kind of breakup is hard and not ideal… I feel like, I don't know if it's turning 40 or coming into your own… I feel in a really good place.

"I am so busy with work, doing Pooch Perfect now, and I have three movies to shoot after this."

US Weekly reports that Wilson broke up with Busch via text message, with an insider allegedly telling the publication: "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 really wanted her to meet [them] but she never committed to doing that," a source told the publication.

"They talked all 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."

Despite the split, the former couple are said to now be on good terms.
