Trina McGee’s Kids Found Out About Her Pregnancy Online

For context, when Trina was cast as Shawn Hunter’s teen love interest, Angela Moore, in the ABC sitcom back in 1997, she was more than a decade older than most of her costars — including then-17-year-old Rider Strong, who played Shawn.

She married actor Marcello Thedford — who has a son from a previous relationship — in 2008, and this baby is the couple’s first child together.

And in a new interview with People, Trina has revealed that her kids only learned of her pregnancy when they read about it online — and while she didn’t think that it would be “a big deal,” one of them was understandably left feeling “pissed.”

And while Trina didn’t tell her children the news personally, she did reveal that she messaged her former Boy Meets World costars Danielle Fishel, Will Friedle, and Rider to tell them the happy news before it was made public.

Trina also told the publication that her pregnancy was “completely natural,” and that finding out she was pregnant almost three decades after giving birth to her youngest child came as a “shock” to her.
