The Boy Meets World family is getting a little bigger! Trina McGee, who played Shawn’s girlfriend Angela Moore for two seasons on the show, recently announced that she is expecting her fourth child at the age of 54. Although some people may be surprised to hear about a pregnancy during a stage in a woman's life that menopause is typically happening, it's still possible — and when it comes to women in Hollywood, it's not actually that uncommon. Now that the word is out, Trina's fans seem to have a lot of feelings about her news.

It's hard to believe that Trina McGee is 54.
Trina made the announcement on her Instagram this week in a post that was set to the song "Baby Love" by The Supremes. She wrote, "At the tender age of 54 I have found myself pregnant. Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery. Thank you.”
“54?!?! Years old?!?! I mean yeah congratulations on the baby but how are you 54?!” one person commented.
Her fans had nothing but love to share.
She also used the post’s caption to announce a social media hiatus. “Gonna sign off social media for a bit. Thanks for your prayers and well wishes in advance.”
There was no shortage of the well-wishes she mentioned, with one person writing, "OMGEE! Congratulations! Prayers for health, protection and a joyous season."

The rest of the internet is having big feelings about Trina's pregnancy.
On a social media post from People magazine, reactions to Trina’s pregnancy were naturally mixed, with many people shocked by her pregnancy at 54. Fortunately, plenty of other people were supportive.
“Am I the only one who grew up watching this just utterly mind blown that she is 54?! There’s no freaking way life has gone by that fast!” one person commented on Facebook.
“I never understood people who criticize women for having babies past 40 yet some old goat like Al Pacino fathered a baby in his 70s and no one says anything! If she’s healthy and happy that’s the main thing and I wish her all the best,” another person wrote.
“I glad to see that more people are able to be happy for her because there sure can be some haters out there. I had my son at the age of 53. He is our joy! To each his own,” someone else shared.
Trina had people fooled.
Trina has been on vacation in Belize, as People pointed out. Earlier this week, she posted a photo of herself in a crop top, and a few eagle-eyed fans spotted her secret.
“The bump! ,” one person commented, to which she replied “yup.”
Now, the word is officially out.
Did you know she was pregnant when she was filming 'Boy Meets World'?
Even though Trina doesn’t share too much about her personal life publicly, last year she revealed in a video that she was pregnant during her time on Boy Meets World.
“That time I played a teenager but in reality I was 6 months pregnant …” she wrote on the video, which includes a screenshot of her on the show.
“I remember an episode where you were really showing, but you had a big sweater on, and your hair was long. Shawn put you against the wall and kissed you. That's when I realized you were older than your character,” another commenter shared.
