Trina McGee's pregnancy at age 54 has ended in a miscarriage. The Boy Meets World star shared on Tamron Hall's show Monday that she and husband Marcello Thedford lost the pregnancy toward the end of her first trimester, TMZ reports. This would have been their first baby together, though McGee shares three children with her ex-husband, whom she divorced in 2001. McGee told Hall she's been struggling with depression since the pregnancy loss, but is "still so grateful to have the experience."

Fans of the 1990s teen sitcom Boy Meets World might be surprised to learn that one of its not-so-teen stars is pregnant some three decades later. Trina McGee made the announcement on Instagram, reports USA Today. "At the tender age of 54 I have found myself pregnant," she wrote. "Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery. Thank you." McGee also announced she'd be taking a break from social media, and didn't divulge details on whether the pregnancy was an expected one.

The actress is best known for playing Angela Moore on the show, the love interest of Shawn Hunter (played by Rider Strong), per TMZ. McGee, already the mom of three, has been married to actor/director Marcello Thedford for 16 years, according to People. The latter outlet notes that Cameron Diaz announced the birth of a son earlier this year at age 51, and Naomi Campbell gave birth last year at age 53. (More celebrity pregnancy stories.)
