“That’s so fetch!”
Remember Lacy Chabert, the talented actress who stole our hearts with her role in Mean Girls? After the popular 2004 film, Chabert’s career seemed to vanish from the big screen. However, she has now found her true calling as a mother and a beloved member of the Hallmark Channel family. Let’s take a closer look at this remarkable woman and her journey as a mother.
Growing Up on TV
Before Mean Girls, fans of the family drama Party of Five witnessed Lacy Chabert’s growth as a young actress on television. In the show, she played the role of Claudia Salinger, a musical prodigy who experienced many “firsts” before her real-life experiences.
Lacy fondly remembers her time on Party of Five and remains close with her former castmates. They have become an integral part of her life, supporting each other through different phases, including parenthood.
“That’s so fetch!”
In 2004, Chabert landed the role of a lifetime as Gretchen Wieners, the loyal sidekick in Mean Girls. The film, written by Tina Fey, became a teen comedy hit. Even after two decades, the cast reunited for a Walmart commercial, reminiscing about their experiences on set.
The reunion was a nostalgic moment for Lacy, who described it as stepping back in time. She cherished the memories and the opportunity to catch up with her former co-stars. As they are now all mothers, it was a full circle moment for everyone involved.
Julia Mimi Bella
In 2013, Lacy Chabert married her “best friend,” David Nehdar. The couple wanted their wedding to be a private and intimate affair, away from the scrutiny of the public eye. Together, they welcomed their daughter, Julia Mimi Bella, into the world in 2016.
Lacy couldn’t contain her joy during her first week as a mother. Her adorable moments with Julia fill her heart with pure happiness. It’s even more amusing when Julia discovered that her mom was none other than Gretchen Wieners from Mean Girls.
“The light of my life”
Lacy affectionately refers to Julia as the light of her life. With a successful career in Hallmark films, Chabert is grateful for the opportunity to balance work and motherhood. She hopes to set an example for her daughter, proving that women can have it all with support and assistance.
Although fans miss Lacy Chabert’s comedic roles in movies like Mean Girls, her role as a mother takes precedence. Julia will always be her number one priority.
