Bridgit Mendler Is a Mother, Reveals She Adopted a Baby Boy in 2022
“I’m so lucky — being a parent is the biggest gift,” wrote Bridgit.
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 posted 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.
Ben Potter, known as YouTube star Comicstorian, has sadly passed away.
His wife, Nathalie, confirmed the news of his death at the age of 40 as she wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter). Her message read, “Two days ago, on June 8th, my husband, Ben Potter, passed away in an unfortunate accident.”
“To many of you, he was Comicstorian, voicing stories from across multiple different mediums. To his loved ones, he was one of the best and most supportive individuals anyone could ask for. As a husband, a son, a brother, a friend, or even just a stranger, Ben was loving and genuine. He was someone who would listen and make time for his loved ones. He would do his best to make everyone laugh and make sure they were okay. He was our rock and he’d reassure his loved ones whenever they needed it.”
She further added, “He was my world and I need time to be with friends and family. I have so many things I need to figure out but firstly, I need to grieve. I ask that you respect my privacy as well as everyone else’s. Right now my priority is preserving everything he’s built and I don’t have any plans beyond that.”
On YouTube, Potter mostly created audio dramas of comic books on his Comicstorian account, regularly discussing the Marvel and DC Universes. He shared his last upload, titled “Why DC’s Reboots Beat Marvel,” just a day before his death.
