'Boy Meets World' Trina McGee's Ex Castmate Breaks Silence On Her Pregnancy Announcement

Maitland Ward is speaking up about Trina McGee's surprise pregnancy announcement.

While this news got everyone buzzing, Ward shared her thoughts on the unexpected pregnancy announcement, expressing excitement and skepticism.

Trina McGee, one of the "Boy Meets World" co-stars who supported Maitland Ward's adult film career transition, announced that she is pregnant at the age of 54.

While out in LA, Ward shared her joy for her former co-star, who is now 54 and expecting her fourth child. 

The adult film star fondly recalled McGee's pregnancies during their time on the show, noting, "I was there when she got pregnant with her first three kids while working on the show."

Despite her initial happiness, Ward admitted to feeling a bit cautious about the news.

"My first thought was, like, is this April Fool's? But I read the post and everything," she said, highlighting her hope that McGee's announcement was not a publicity stunt. Ward explained her skepticism, saying:

"I hope that it's not like a publicity stunt or anything. I hope not. Because I have not seen any verification or any information." 

The adult film star pointed out in her conversation with TMZ the surprise many felt due to McGee's age, acknowledging that a pregnancy in one's 50s is quite unusual.

"I would think in the first days she is probably trying to be safe and everything. So I give her her space and all that," she added.

Ward suggested that McGee should document her pregnancy to help other women and show that geriatric pregnancies are possible. 

"I hope that as it goes along she would show us her journey because that's a pretty big deal. I think that would help a lot of women, a lot of women with fertility issues. To naturally become pregnant," she remarked.

She also shared her experience with a friend who got pregnant at 50 through insemination, acknowledging the potential health concerns for both the mother and the baby. 

"Well, that is actually a real issue," Ward said, referring to the increased likelihood of health issues in children born to older mothers.

Lastly, the 47-year-old speculated that McGee may not have planned to get pregnant, adding another layer of curiosity to the announcement.

ICYMI, on Monday, The Blast reported on McGee's surprise pregnancy announcement via her Instagram page. 

Accompanied by "Baby Love" by The Supremes, McGee wrote: "At the tender age of 54, I have found myself pregnant. Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery. Thank you."

McGee also shared that she plans to step back from social media. In her caption, she revealed her decision to take a break, telling her followers: "Gonna sign off social media for a bit. Thanks for your prayers and well wishes in advance."

McGee's announcement of her pregnancy at 54 sparked a wave of excitement and support from her fans. The news, shared on Instagram, quickly garnered numerous positive comments.

"Congratulations and yeah stay off the internet for your wellbeing," one follower advised. Another echoed the sentiment, writing, "Congratulations!! Praying for safe pregnancy and delivery!"

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

Another added, "Happened to Janet at 50... If God made our bodies this way, who are we to question. Congratulations!"

Since starring with Trina McGee on "Boy Meets World," Ward has transitioned from the Hollywood screen to the adult film industry. 

Back in 2022, The Blast noted that Ward's transition into adult entertainment came with unexpected support from her husband, Terry Baxter, who encouraged her to film scenes with other men.

"He saw a truth in me that I wasn't going to cross the boundary of … getting with guys, basically," the TV personality explained. Ward took the leap in 2019 with "Drive," a movie featuring several male actors.

Baxter's support was pivotal. "[My husband] really was the one that came and, out of the blue to me, he said, 'I see this in you. You really need to try this. You really wanna live out these fantasies,'" Ward shared. She believed this honesty has only made their bond stronger.

The star also recalled the experience of having her husband present when she filmed her first hardcore adult film scene with another man.

Ward shared, "At the end of it, the first one we did, nothing bad had happened. It was a controlled situation. I got to live out a fantasy, then it was done and we went back to our lives.So I really think that it solidified our trust in each other and also his faith in me."
