Actress Trina McGee, known for her role on “Boy Meets World,” announced on Instagram that she is expecting her fourth child at the age of 54. She shared the news with her followers on social media and asked for prayers for a safe delivery. McGee will be taking a break from social media during this time.
McGee has been married to actor Marcello Thedford for 16 years and has three children from previous relationships. She played the character Angela Moore on “Boy Meets World” from 1997 to 2000, where she portrayed the girlfriend of Shawn Hunter (Rider Strong).
Data reported by the CDC in 2023 shows that women are having babies at older ages, with birth rates declining in most states across the US in recent years. The increase in the age of first-time mothers has contributed to this decline, with birth rates among women in their late 30s and early 40s on the rise. Additionally, the birth rate among women over 45 has exceeded one birth per 1,000 in population for the first time in more than a decade in 2023.
It is evident that there is a shifting trend in childbirth patterns, with more women choosing to have children later in life. McGee’s pregnancy at 54 is a testament to this changing landscape.
