Actress Trina McGee from "Boy Meets World" is expecting her fourth child at the age of 54.
McGee shared some exciting news on her Instagram account on Monday. She's expecting a baby at 54 years old! She asked her followers to send their prayers for a safe delivery. Although she didn't mention it in her post, she'll be taking some time off from social media.
This is the fourth time McGee will be a mom. She's been married to actor Marcello Thedford for 16 years, and together they have no children. However, McGee already has three kids from her previous relationships.
Back in 1997-2000, she starred in "Boy Meets World" as Angela Moore, the partner of Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong).
Recent statistics from the CDC show that women are having children at older ages. Simultaneously, the birth rate has been decreasing in most states across the U.S. One reason for the decrease is the increasing age of first-time mothers.
The CDC reported in 2023 that the birth rate among women in their late 30s and early 40s increased in the last decade. Additionally, the number of women aged 45 and above giving birth reached one birth per 1,000 in population—for the first time in over a decade—in the same year.
