'Boy Meets World' Trina McGee, 54, Kicks Off Social Media Hiatus With Pregnancy Announcement

Remember Trina McGee, who played Angela Moore on "Boy Meets World"? The beloved 90s sitcom star has just surprised fans with a pregnancy announcement at 54.

Alongside the joyous news, McGee also revealed she is taking a break from social media, adding an unexpected twist to her bombshell reveal.

With this announcement, Trina McGee joins a short list of women who became pregnant after 50, and all she is asking for is support and well wishes.

On Monday, McGee delighted fans with a surprising Instagram announcement: she is expecting her fourth child. In the post set to "Baby Love" by The Supremes playing in the background, she wrote:

"At the tender age of 54 I have found myself pregnant. Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery. Thank you." 

Subsequently, she shared a statement that revealed an unexpected move. In her caption, McGee revealed her plans to take a break from social media, sharing with her followers:

"Gonna sign off social media for a bit. Thanks for your prayers and well wishes in advance."

The singer's announcement garnered a wave of supportive comments from her fans. "Congratulations and yeah stay off the internet for your wellbeing," one follower advised, while another added, "Congratulations!! Praying for safe pregnancy and delivery!"

Many fans drew parallels to Janet Jackson, who gave birth at 50. "If DaMita Jo (Janet Jackson) can do it...... So can you!!!" one enthusiastic commenter noted. 

A fourth echoed this sentiment, stating, "Happened to Janet at 50... If God made our bodies this way, who are we to question. Congratulations!"

Expressions of amazement also flooded the comments section, like this fan who exclaimed, "Whattttt?! That's amazing! Congratulations momma." 

At the same time, a supporter encouraged McGee to prioritize her peace, writing, "Wishing you the best. Take your social media break for your peace as needed."

In light of McGee's surprise pregnancy announcement, curiosity about her husband, whom she rarely discussed publicly, has surged. 

Per The Sun, her partner, who is also an actor, producer, and director, has been her spouse for 16 years. The duo's story began in the '90s while they were filming the action thriller "Daylight" in Rome.

Aside his minor role in the Sylvester Stallone movie, Thedford is recognized for his performances in "Volcano" and "Employee of the Month." He also ventured into directing, producing, and co-writing the 2009 film "Thug Love." 

In October 2022, Maitland Ward opened up about the varying reactions she received from her former castmates regarding her career switch to adult entertainment.

The Blast noted that she shared the details during an appearance on the "Skinny Confidential Him & Her" podcast. 

Ward disclosed that one of the three former sitcom stars who reached out to her was Trina McGee, who she noted showed support "in the beginning."

The second person was Will Friedle, who also reached out after Ward's adult film career began gaining traction. As to how he really felt, Ward revealed, "[He] says he supports me, but won't watch anything that I do."

She also mentioned that the show's creator, Michael Jacobs, was supportive of her career shift.

While Ward acknowledged that not all her former castmates reached out to her after her career shift, she emphasized that she did not receive any direct negative feedback.

However, in the interview, Ward opened up about feeling isolated from some of her former castmates after her career transition. 

Her memoir, "Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me From Hollywood," included interactions with Danielle Fishel, who portrayed Topanga Lawrence on the show.

Ward recalled a party where she encountered Fishel, noting that Fishel did not engage with her and barely acknowledged her presence. In her words:

"Danielle didn't speak to me at all, which I thought was odd. She barely acknowledged that I was even there."

Despite their shared history, Ward described not feeling a sense of distance, especially since their last interaction at Ward's wedding in 2006.
