Ben Savage, known for his role as Cory Matthews on the beloved sitcom Boy Meets World, has announced that he and his wife, Tessa Angermeier, are expecting their first child together. The 44-year-old actor turned politician shared the exciting news on Instagram, revealing that their baby is due to arrive in the fall. The couple shared two heartwarming snaps holding up an ultrasound scan of their impending arrival.
Savage’s former Boy Meets World co-star, Maitlin Ward, was quick to offer her congratulations, along with actress Danica McKellar, who appeared on The Wonder Years alongside Savage’s brother, Fred Savage. Savage and Angermeier tied the knot in February 2023 after several years of dating, with friends and family celebrating their union in a beautiful ceremony.
Last year, Savage made headlines for his bid to run for Congress as a Democrat in California’s 30th congressional district. Despite his campaign efforts, he ultimately lost in the primary to fellow Democrat Laura Friedman. However, the news of their upcoming addition to the family has brought joy and excitement to the couple.
Boy Meets World fans will remember Savage for his iconic role on the show, which aired from 1993 to 2000. He later reprised his character on the spinoff series Girl Meets World, which aired from 2014 to 2017. In a recent interview, Savage expressed his willingness to participate in a potential Boy Meets World reboot, stating that “never say never” in the unpredictable world of show business.
While Savage has shown interest in revisiting his iconic role as Cory Matthews, he chose not to participate in the rewatch podcast “Pod Meets World,” launched by his former co-stars Danielle Fishel, Rider Strong, and Will Friedle. Fishel, who played Topanga, Cory’s love interest on the show, revealed that Savage was initially part of the project but ultimately decided it wasn’t for him.
As they prepare to welcome their new bundle of joy, Savage and Angermeier are looking forward to this next chapter in their lives. Fans of the beloved actor are eagerly awaiting updates on the pregnancy and the arrival of their little one. Stay tuned for more exciting news from the Savage family!
