Boy Meets World Star Ben Savage's Wife Tessa Angermeier Gives Birth, Welcomes First Baby Girl

Boy Meets World alum Ben Savage and his wife Tessa Angermeier welcomed their first baby girl. The couple made their birth announcement six months after announcing their pregnancy. 

Ben Savage and Tessa Angermeier’s baby girl is ready to meet the world. 

Indeed, the Boy Meets World alum announced Nov. 26 that his wife had given birth, noting their baby girl had arrived with a sweet message in an Instagram post captioned, “Welcome little one.”

The 45-year-old—who tied the knot with his wife in 2023—included a photo of himself holding his daughter’s tiny hand, as well as several moments of him sporting a “Girl Dad” t-shirt. Another picture saw him holding his newborn as she was swaddled in a pink blanket, sound asleep. 

Naturally, Ben’s former Boy Meets World costar Matthew Lawrence, who played Jack Hunter in the series, couldn't wait to congratulate him, writing in a comment, “Wow bro!! A very happy Thanksgiving.”

Meanwhile, Maitland Ward, who played Rachel McGuire in the '90s sitcom, got ahead of the couple’s happy news, gushing in their May pregnancy announcement, “Congratulations both of you!”

At the time, many fans of the beloved series joked about Ben fulfilling the prophecy set by his Boy Meets World character Cory Matthews, with one fan joking, referencing Danielle Fishel’s character on the show, "I'm telling Topanga.”

But while Ben’s character was the husband to Danielle’s Topanga Lawrence Matthews onscreen, she has admitted that their relationship isn’t as close as it used to be, which is the same for fellow costars Will Friedle and Rider Strong. 

“He just kind of disappeared from our lives,” Danielle, who cohosts Pod Meets World alongside Will and Rider, told Variety in 2023. “He ghosted us.”

However, the current state of their relationship hasn’t at all changed Danielle’s feelings toward her former costar.
