Boy Meets World star Trina McGee’s pregnancy at 54 shocked the world — and her children.
McGee, who announced her pregnancy via Instagram on June 3, revealed that her three adult children learned the news online. She shares Ramia, 31, and Langston, 29, with her first husband, Courtland Davis, to whom she was wed from 1991 to 2001. She also has another child, Ezra, 25.
“Two of them found out through the media, and one of them was really pissed. It was just a matter of a couple of hours of a slip,” McGee told People in an interview published on Monday, June 17.
“I put something on Facebook. I didn’t think it was a big deal, and I said, ‘I’ll call the kids later. They’re grown. They have their own lives,’” the actress explained. “So I speak to them maybe once a week on Sundays normally. Now, we’re speaking a lot more.”

McGee revealed earlier this month that she is expecting her first baby with her husband, Marcello Thedford. The couple got married in 2008 but first met three decades earlier on the set of the 1996 Sylvester Stallone movie Daylight.

Speaking to People, McGee — who played Shawn Hunter’s girlfriend, Angela Moore, on Boy Meets World — called the pregnancy a “miracle” and said she conceived the baby naturally.
“Your body has to feel free. The blood has to flow to the uterus,” said McGee. “Sorry, guys, but you just need certain things for your body to feel nourished. And if you’re in a place or an environment that is not providing that, and you want to conceive, then you need to get out of it. The stress is really important. You have to stay away from stress.”
