Trina’s fans shared their ebullient congratulations in the comments to her post, and many highlighted her age.

’54?!?! Years old?!?! I mean yeah congratulations on the baby but how are you 54?!’ joked one fan, seemingly referencing her age-defying appearance.

‘Yeah, but in Trina McGee years you’re still only in your thirties,’ wrote another fan.

‘Sarah didn’t have Isaac until she was 89,’ added on commenter. 

Trina already has three children, two of whom she shares with her ex-husband Randall Courtland Davis, whom she was married to from 1991–2001, and one from a previous relationship.

The actress appeared to have shared her baby news while on a carefree vacation in Belize, as she has been sharing photos from a trip to the Central American nation’s Malacate Beach.

After she announced her pregnancy, some of Trina’s fans returned to her most recent post, a photo of herself holding a coconut cake while wearing a blue tie-dye cropped halter top while wearing a white skirt and a straw hat.

‘the bump!’ commented one fan who realized she was already showing in the photo.

‘Welp, this explains the pregnancy,’ another user commented.

Trina’s fourth child will also be here first with her husband Marcello Thedford. 

The couple have been married for 16 years, according to People. Trina met the actor and filmmaker in Rome nearly three decades ago while filming the Sylvester Stallone thriller Daylight.

In April, Trina revealed that she had been six-months pregnant with her third child during part of her tenure on Boy Meets World. 

The show featured her biggest role to date, and her on-screen interracial romance with her costar Rider Strong (who played Shawn Hunter) was a rarity for a major network sitcom at the time.

But Trina revealed in 2020 that she had been subjected to racist insults during her time on the series.

In January of that year, she said she had been called an ‘aunt Jemima’ while getting her hair and makeup done on set, as well as being labeled a ‘bitter b****’ during rehearsals.

In April of 2020 she revealed that it had been her costar Will Friedle who made the former insult, but she said he had apologized to her first 22 years earlier, and she added that he wrote her a second three-page apology later after she complained about her treatment.
