“I Have Found Myself Pregnant”: Boy Meets World's Trina McGee Has Announced Her Pregnancy Age 54
When Trina McGee was cast as Shawn Hunter’s teen love interest, Angela Moore, in the ABC sitcom Boy Meets World, she was a 28-year-old mom of two.

More than a decade older than most of her costars — including then-17-year-old Rider Strong, who played Shawn — Trina has reflected on being at such a different stage in her life from the rest of the cast over the years.

For context, Trina joined the show in its fifth season in 1997 and remained a regular until its finale in 2000.
She had married Courtland Davis in 1991, and the two had already welcomed their first child together when she made her debut as Angela, with Trina also mom to another child from a previous relationship.
And the star recently shocked fans when she revealed that she was six months pregnant during filming for Boy Meets World as she pointed out her bump during the infamous episode “And Then There Was Shawn,” which was shot and premiered in February 1998.

In a TikTok video, she wrote: “That time I played a teenager but in reality I was 6 months pregnant,” and added in the caption: “For those who didn’t know… you gotta let ‘em know.”
The actor split from Courtland in 2001, and has been married to actor Marcello Thedford since 2008.

The baby will be her and Marcello’s first child together, and Trina asked fans for “prayers for a safe delivery” as she shared the exciting news.

“At the tender age of 54 I have found myself pregnant,” she wrote. “Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery. Thank you.”
“Gonna sign off social media for a bit,” Trina added in the post’s caption. “Thanks for your prayers and well wishes in advance.”
Earlier on Monday, Trina had shared a photo of herself in a cropped halterneck top that showed off her stomach.
“the bump! 😍” one person commented on the post, to which Trina simply replied: “yup.”
Trina’s pregnancy announcement was liked by her former Boy Meets World costar Rider as well as Danielle Fishel, with followers also flooding to share their well-wishes — with many admitting that their biggest shock was learning that youthful-looking Trina is 54 years old.

“54?!?! Years old?!?! I mean yeah congratulations on the baby but how are you 54?!” one person wrote. Another echoed: “I’m sorry I was so stuck on the 54 ! Cuz where girl!? You look amazing!”
Somebody else joked: “Yeah, but in Trina McGee years you’re still only in your thirties.”
Congratulations to Trina and Marcello!
