Less than 24 hours after being announced as the CEO of Northwood Space, Disney star Bridgit Mendler has dropped another big news — she is a mother!
On Tuesday, February 20, 2024, the American actress took to her X (formerly Twitter) handle to reveal the good news among her fans and well-wishers. Through her tweet, she revealed that she had become a mother via adoption.
Mendler had a picture of her longtime husband, Griffin Cleverly, and her child – a baby boy – clicked at the seashore during a beautiful sunset. Both her husband and her baby were facing front, so their face wasn’t visible.
She captioned her tweet by mentioning that the other news, besides her being a CEO, that she wanted to share was that she is a mother to a 4-year-old son. She stated that she started fostering in 2021 and adopted her son around Christmas 2022.
As she went on, she added that she was so lucky and that being a parent was the biggest gift and defining experience. Her caption read, “The other news I wanted to share is I’m a mama to a sweet 4yo boy.”

“Started fostering in 2021, adopted near Christmas of 2022. I’m so lucky — being a parent is the biggest gift and most defining experience there is. That’s my news for now, folks,” her caption concluded, with a yellow heart emoji at the end.
Besides the above-mentioned details, Mendler didn’t share any further information about her only child — she is yet to welcome biological children with her husband. For now, fans have to wait and see if she sheds any light on her baby’s name or any other details of her son.
Nonetheless, as soon as the announcement was made, netizens quickly flooded the comment section of the tweet with congratulatory messages and sent their well-wishes to the actress and her kid.
One Twitter user quickly wrote, “Mother on all fields okayyy congrats,” referencing Mendler’s involvement in different fields like acting, singing, and business ventures. “u deserve everything in this life and more,” wrote another user.
Similarly, one wrote, “Congratulations on your journey into motherhood! Adopting and fostering truly change lives, and that first holiday season as a family is always extra special. Here’s to many more shared sunsets and precious moments.”
“We don’t have the same 24 hours as @bridgitmendler,” wrote one Twitter user, referencing the whirlwind 24 hours that fans of Mendler have experienced. “Wow. You are incredible. Following your journey and couldn’t be prouder of the human you are,” another commented.
The news also reached Reddit, where Redditors left comments like, “She truly is a gem!” “Every time I hear about what she’s up to, she doing great things. You go, girl,” and “Fostering is such a beautiful gift for the right people!”
As mentioned earlier, this is Mendler’s first child, as she has yet to welcome any children with her husband. The husband-wife duo has been married since 2019 but was yet to welcome any kids until they adopted a baby boy in 2022, which was kept secret until now.

Speaking a little of Mendler’s relationship with her husband, she began dating Cleverly sometime in 2017, around two years after she ended her relationship with her now-former boyfriend, Shane Harper.
After dating for two years, they took their relationship to a new level and got engaged. The actress announced her engagement news via an Instagram post on April 20, 2019. “Looking forward to holding ur hand forever,” a part of her caption read.
Months later, on October 17, 2019, she again took to her Instagram handle to reveal that she had shared the wedding vows with her now-husband. She posted a picture from their wedding and wrote a heartwarming caption.
Her caption read, “Still riding the high of the weekend. Thank you to everyone for the abundance of love that you showered on griff and I. We are so excited for this new chapter.”
Around a month later, in November 2019, Mendler briefly opened up about her intimate beach wedding to Cleverly. During her interview with Extra, she stated, “It was magical. There was a great sunset.”
“And there was actually even this dude who built a sandcastle behind us while we were getting married — in his board shorts, constructing this beautiful, amazing sandcastle. While we are doing our vows, I could just see him in my eye line,” she added.
Since their wedding, the married couple has always been together and supported each other on their highs and lows. Furthermore, since Christmas 2022, they have secretly been relishing parenthood until Mendler’s announcement on February 20, 2024, made it public.

Eliza Butterworth Celebrates Daughter Lola’s 2nd Birthday with Sweet Tribute: ‘You Make Every Single Day Dazzling’
The Last Kingdom star shared an emotional post filled with photos and videos of her “birthday princess.”
Eliza Butterworth is celebrating a major milestone — her baby girl is officially two years old.
The English actress, best known for her role as Lady Aelswith in the hit medieval drama The Last Kingdom (2015–2022) and the BBC miniseries The North Water, took to Instagram on April 22 to mark her daughter Lola Marie’s second birthday with a heartfelt and exuberant tribute.
“Happy 2nd Birthday to my beautiful, fabulous, hilarious, joyous and abundantly amazing baby girl!” Butterworth wrote. “Lola you are my everything!!! You make every single day dazzling and we are so proud of the incredible baby angel you are!”
The actress continued, “Seeing you turning 2 today is just blowing my mind and you are a dream come true!! We love you birthday princess!”
The Last Kingdom star’s post included a carousel of precious moments — from a sweet cake-cutting ceremony to candid snapshots and heartwarming videos of her daughter taken over the last few years. Fans got a glimpse of little Lola’s growing personality as she celebrated her special day.
Who Is Eliza Butterworth’s Partner?
While Butterworth, who holds dual British and American citizenship, is famously tight-lipped about her personal life, she does share glimpses of her longtime partner on social media. In May 2022, she posted a cozy photo of a man with his arms wrapped around her, captioning it: “My Man. You walked right out of my dreams”.
In other moments, she’s affectionately called him her “beautiful boo” and credited him for taking photos of her travels. The couple has also been spotted at family holidays, but the father’s name and details have remained private, as he stays largely out of the public eye.
A Star on the Rise
Before The Last Kingdom ended its five-season run in 2022, Butterworth grew up in Lincoln, England, and graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA). Her career has since flourished with roles in the BBC Two miniseries The North Water, for which she received a National Film Award nomination, and the Sky Max series A Town Called Malice.
But if her Instagram is any indication, her proudest role is clearly “Mama” to Lola.

What’s Next for the Actress?
Though she opted not to join the Last Kingdom follow-up film Seven Kings Must Die, Butterworth has been busy in Tenerife filming A Town Called Malice, a Sky series about a family of criminals in the 1980s Costa del Sol. She’s set to play Carly Lord in the upcoming show.
For now, though, it’s all about cake, candles, and celebrating two years of “magical angel” Lola. As Butterworth put it last Mother’s Day, “Lola is my everything and my best friend”.

‘This Beauty Is Impossible to Forget’: Lyliana Wray Opens Up About Her Soulful Journey Through Nepal
Lyliana Wray is trading Hollywood for the Himalayas — and fans are loving every moment.
The Top Gun: Maverick actress, 21, is currently on a soulful getaway in Nepal, documenting her travels through the sacred streets of Kathmandu Valley. Over the past week, she’s been sharing glimpses of her journey on social media — from ancient stupas to holy riverbanks — all while keeping things refreshingly real.
‘Happy Girl’ at the Monkey Temple
Wray’s first post came on April 18, featuring a series of photos of herself exploring the Kathmandu Valley. In one standout shot, she’s seen smiling in front of Swayambhunath Stupa, the iconic Buddhist temple affectionately known as the “Monkey Temple.” Her caption was simple, joyful, and impossible not to smile at: “happy girl.”
A Deeper Reflection at Pashupatinath
Then, on April 22, Wray offered a more contemplative look at her travels. She posted photos from Pashupatinath Temple, one of the holiest Hindu shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple complex, with its ashrams and the flowing Bagmati River, clearly left a mark.
“This temple holds stories in silence, a kind of beauty that’s hard to name but impossible to forget,” she wrote.
One Commenter Tried to Bring Negativity. She Wasn’t Having It.
Of course, no celebrity travel post is complete without a few eye-rolls from the peanut gallery.
Under her Pashupatinath photos, one user commented: “Bruh why do you guys always feel the urge for spiritual awakening within the worst suburbs of India?”
Ouch.
But Wray — who played Amelia Benjamin opposite Tom Cruise in the 2022 blockbuster — didn’t fire back with anger. Instead, she responded with grace and a perspective that’s won over her followers.
“it’s not about being spiritual or religious for me… experiencing cultures outside of my own is something really special,” she replied. “i’m always trying to stay open and see the world from different perspectives :)”
Fans Are Praising Her Response
The exchange quickly went viral, with fans flooding her comments to applaud her maturity.
“Class act,” one wrote. “This is how you travel — with curiosity, not ego.”
Another added: “She didn’t have to respond, but she did, and she taught that person something.”
Who Is Lyliana Wray?
For those who don’t know, Wray first broke out as a child star in 2015’s Girl Missing, later appearing in Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark? revival and shows like Black-ish. But her biggest moment came when she landed the role of Amelia Benjamin in Top Gun: Maverick — the daughter of Jennifer Connelly’s character, Penny Benjamin.
Since then, she’s kept a relatively low profile, focusing on her craft and, apparently, her passport.
A Trip That’s About More Than Sightseeing
While many celebrities use international travel as a backdrop for bikini photos, Wray seems genuinely moved by the culture and history around her. Her visit to Nepal isn’t framed as a “spiritual awakening” or a search for meaning — just an honest attempt to see the world through someone else’s eyes.
And honestly? That’s a travel goal we can all get behind.
As she continues her journey through Nepal, fans will no doubt be watching — and learning right alongside her.

BLACKPINK Returns with ‘Deadline’ EP: Everything to Know About Their High-Octane Comeback Single ‘GO’
Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé end their three-year hiatus with a bold new mini-album and a high-budget visual for their latest hit single.
The long wait for the “biggest girl group in the world” is finally over. On Friday, Feb. 27, 2026, BLACKPINK—consisting of members Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa, and Rosé—officially released their new EP, Deadline. This marks the quartet’s first collective body of work since their 2022 studio album Born Pink, effectively ending a three-and-a-half-year hiatus that saw the members conquer the world through individual solo ventures.
The lead single from the EP, titled “GO,” arrived alongside a blockbuster music video that features the group in a futuristic, high-stakes heist narrative. Known for their “black” and “pink” duality, the new single leans heavily into the “black” concept—featuring aggressive synth-pop production, sharp choreography, and the signature “BLACKPINK in your area” confidence. The Deadline EP also includes the fan-favorite pre-release track “JUMP,” alongside new songs “Me and My,” “Champion,” and the edgy “Fxxxboy.”
The release of Deadline follows an incredibly busy period for the group. Throughout 2025, they embarked on the massive Deadline World Tour, which broke several attendance records for female groups and concluded earlier this year with three sold-out “encore” shows in Hong Kong. Despite the rigorous tour schedule, each member continued to excel individually. Most recently, Rosé made history at the 2026 Grammys, where she was nominated for three awards and opened the show with a viral performance of her smash hit “APT.” alongside Bruno Mars.
While solo projects for Lisa’s LLOUD, Jennie’s OA, and Jisoo’s BLISSOO have dominated the headlines for the past year, Deadline proves that the group’s collective chemistry remains unmatched. The mini-album is a strategic “thank you” to BLINKs who have waited patiently for a group comeback. “GO” is already trending at #1 on YouTube and Spotify’s Global charts, fueled by its message of relentless ambition and moving forward.
As the members continue to balance their massive solo careers in music, television, and fashion, Deadline serves as a powerful reminder that BLACKPINK is an unstoppable force when they reunite. With more group activities rumored for late 2026, it seems the “Deadline” era is only just beginning.
