Trina McGee Says Her Adult Kids Learned About Her Pregnancy Online
In an exclusive interview published by PEOPLE on Monday, June 17, the 54-year-old explained that she was “shocked” after learning she was pregnant. However, at the time, she “didn’t think it was a big deal” and figured she’d call her three adult children to tell them the news “later.”
The outlet notes that McGee’s adult children are named Ramia, who is 31; Langston, who is 29; and Ezra, who is 25. The former ‘Boy Meets World’ actor shares the children with her first husband, Courtland Davis.
“I put something on Facebook. I didn’t think it was a big deal, and I said, ‘I’ll call the kids later,’” she recalled thinking. “‘They’re grown. They have their own lives.’”
McGee explained that she usually speaks to her kids once a week. However, after the viral news, now they’re “speaking a lot more.”
“So I speak to them maybe once a week on Sundays, normally,” she said. “Now, we’re speaking a lot more. 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.”
Ultimately, the actor shared that she and her kids “are all good now.” Additionally, she explained that the incident brought them closer.
“We’re all good now,” she said. “And actually, it jolted us all into really talking and being together.”

According to McGee, her husband, Marcello Thedford, “reacted so lovingly” to her pregnancy.
“He’s just been so great. He took me out to see deer yesterday and play in a yard, to just keep me peaceful,” she explained. “We’ve put a lot of work into our marriage, so I’ve got a good one… The number one person who has supported me is my husband.”
Additionally, her former ‘Boy Meets World’ castmates shared positive sentiments.
“They wished me well,” she explained. “I actually talked to them on a text a couple of weeks before it had become public knowledge, and I had told them… It wasn’t like ‘I have to announce it,’ although I love announcing it to them. But yeah, they’re great!”

“I saw some comments about, uh, ‘She’s too old’… and I think I read about three comments of that, and I was like, ‘Don’t read that,’ she told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “…I don’t partake in any of the negativity anybody has to say about it. I am so happy. I have been blessed, and that’s it.”
