Trina McGee is not paying attention to any of the negativity. After revealing her pregnancy at 54 with her and her husband Marcello Thurford's first child, the Boy Meets World alum shared how disconnecting from the outside world has helped her to live in the moment and fully celebrate this exciting news.

"Just sheer joy, sheer joy, and I don't partake in any of the negativity anybody has to say about it," she told Entertainment Tonight in an interview on June 4. "I am so happy. I have been blessed, and that's it. And all I'm concerned about—I only have one job now—is to have this baby, and that's what I'm about."
And for Trina—who is also mom to Ramia, 31, Langston, 29, with ex-husband, Courtland Davis and Ezra, 25, from a previous relationship—that includes carefully selecting what sort of media and content she wishes to consume.
"The number one thing for me is to not partake in any stress and stay away from negativity as much as I can," she explained. "And that pertains to what I put on TV, what I look at on my phone. There's so much drama and violence and negativity out there as soon as you turn on the screen. I really want to be pointed when I turn on the screen. Because stress, for me, is the biggest factor."

The Girl Meets World actress also shared that expanding their family had been a long-term goal for her and her husband. It wasn't until they moved to Belize that they were able to achieve this. She credited her work with the Garifuna people of Belize and the low-stress environment they created as key factors in her pregnancy success. Trina explained, "I have been saying I wanted to have a baby with my current husband of 16 years for quite a while."
But while she's taking a step back from the outside world, there are pregnancy reactions Trina was more than happy to receive: Those of her Boy Meets World costars, including Danielle Fishel.
"Well, funny enough, I did talk with them before I announced it," Trina said. "I happened to be on a little business call with Danielle and we were all texting and I said, 'By the way, you know, I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant,' and they were so kind and so happy."
Congratulations to Trina and well wishes on a safe delivery!
