Trina McGee has shared a tragic update on Robert Brownher pregnancy journey.
The "Boy Meets World" star announced in an interview Monday on the "Tamron Hall Show" that she has suffered a miscarriage after revealing earlier this year she was pregnant at the age of 54.
"I did lose the baby," she said. "It wasn't expected. It was closer to the end of the first trimester. We really don't have any real reasons why. I was still so grateful to have the experience of being able to conceive at this age and at this time."
The actress, who is now 55, said she experienced a "lot of depression" after the miscarriage, and it was "hard to get out of bed."
McGee played Angela Moore on the sitcom "Boy Meets World," which aired from 1993 to 2000. She revealed she was pregnant with her fourth child in an Instagram post in June, writing at the time, "At the tender age of 54 I have found myself pregnant. Please bless us with your prayers for a safe delivery."

In a subsequent interview with Entertainment Tonight, McGee said she became pregnant after she "went down to Belize and I talked to some shamans," and she was "able to come up with an elixir." She described the baby as a "miracle," noting that she had her tubes tied and was a year into menopause. "I am not a doctor," she stressed to ET. "I am just an actress from the '90s." Fertility doctors were skeptical about how she got pregnant in the first place.
Speaking on the "Tamron Hall Show," McGee reflected it was "very hard to face the fact" that her dream of expanding her family was "not going to happen at this point in the junction."
This 'Boy Meets World' starcredits shaman elixir for her pregnancy at 54. Doctors have some questions.
She also opened up about why she wanted to have a baby at age 54, explaining she is a "very athletic" person and wanted the experience of raising a child with her current husband. McGee has three adult children from a previous marriage.
"Also just knowing so much more at this age," she added. "When you raise kids young, you miss some things. And that's OK, but I wanted that chance to really pour into a child all the knowledge that I have and get the results of this amazing human being that I have in my mind, given what me and my husband have to offer."
Looking back, McGee said she was "just so excited" and "shocked" when she announced the pregnancy in June. Although she received criticism about having a child at her age, she told Hall she also heard from women who similarly hope to get pregnant later in life and don't "want to be boxed into this geriatric pregnancy thing."
McGee's husband, Marcello Thedford, also appeared on the show and said the pregnancy loss has been "hard" for them.
"You're talking to a man that just a couple of months ago or so was holding her belly every night, talking to the baby," he said.
While introducing the interview, Hall noted she had a similar experience when she announced in 2019 that she was pregnant at age 48. Although most people were supportive, the talk show host recalled that some accused her of being irresponsible for "having a child at this age."
"I saw those comments and thankfully moved on from them," she said.
