Born at the “tender age” of 54, Trina McGee is most recognized for her roles in the last seasons of Boy Meets World.
The renowned 90s sitcom performer, who played Angela Moore from 1997 to 2000, revealed her pregnancy on Instagram on Monday and also declared she would be taking a vacation from social media.
To announce her pregnancy, Trina shared a Reel on Instagram with The Supremes’ classic “Baby Love” as the background song, and wrote: “At the tender age of 54 I have found myself pregnant.”
She then asked fans: “Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery, thank you,” and added in her caption: “Gonna sign off social media for a bit. Thanks for your prayers and well wishes in advance.”
Fans had a lot to say in the comments section under the post, with one writing: “Trina look how young you look… having a kid at your age is nothing but a testament to how healthy you are… What a blessing!” as others followed suit with: “If God made our bodies this way, who are we to question. Congratulations,” and: “Congratulations!! Praying for a safe pregnancy and delivery!” as well as: “Wishing you the best. Take your social media break for your peace as needed.”
Trina McGee’s Husband and Kids
With three children already, the actress shares two of them with her ex-husband, Courtland Davis, who was her spouse from 1991 to 2001. She has been married to actor, producer, and director Marcello Thedford for 16 years, however she keeps most details of her personal life private.
The two got together nearly thirty years ago while shooting the action picture Daylight, which starred Sylvester Stallone, in Rome. She most recently appeared in a film, Classmates (2023), directed by Danielle Fishel, co-star of Boy Meets World. Previously, she had returned to the sitcom’s spin-off Girl Meets World as Angela for an episode in 2015.
Pregnancy Over 50
Though the term “advanced maternal age” is now more widely used, a pregnancy in which the mother is over 35 is still referred to as a “geriatric pregnancy,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. Aside from more frequent testing, Cleveland notes that although they potentially carry an increased risk, “advanced maternal age pregnancy isn’t treated much differently than a typical pregnancy.”
Erramatti Mangamma, an Indian woman of 74 years old, set a record in September 2019 when she gave birth to twins via cesarean surgery following in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
Other celebrities that have welcomed children include Michelle Pfeiffer, Janit Jackson, Cameron Diaz, Hoda Kotb, Diane Keaton, and Naomi Campbell. They have also welcomed children through adoption, surrogacy, and self-bearing in their 50s.
Trina’s Bump
Although the exact length of Trina’s pregnancy is unknown, she appeared in a halter-neck crop top and low-rise white skirt in a different photo that was posted just hours before she announced her pregnancy. Many of her fans commented on the somewhat noticeable bump on Trina.
“The bump!” one of her followers wrote with a heart-eyes emoji, and Trina, confirming the pregnancy, simply replied: “Yup.”
