Ariana Grande’s Heartwarming Reaction to Liz Gillies’ Stage Return

Ariana Grande is cheering on her Victorious co-star, Elizabeth “Liz” Gillies, as she gears up for a big break in New York City.

Immediately following the newsbreak about Liz assuming the role of Audrey in the off-Broadway play “Little Shop of Horrors” at the Westside Theatre alongside Milo Manheim’s Seymour, her lifelong friend burst with uncontainable enthusiasm.

Ariana expressed tremendous pride and anticipation,” she posted alongside a reshare of the casting announcement on her Instagram Stories, “for my exceptionally talented friend Liz Gillies.

Back then, I shared the limelight with Liz on Broadway during our joint performance in the Alan Menken musical way back in 2008. Now, after all these years, it’s thrilling to know that she’s making her comeback to the NYC stage for this musical! You see, our friendship flourished even more behind the scenes of our Nickelodeon show, where we teamed up with Victoria Justice, Avan Jogia, and others. It’s amazing to witness how our bond has stood the test of time since the show wrapped up in 2013 – a true testament to our enduring friendship!

Liz shared with People in November, “We truly prioritize spending time together. We share laughter, recall old times, and create fresh moments. I believe that building upon past connections is essential for maintaining friendships from childhood. Otherwise, it’s easy to just reminisce about the past and only meet up once a year.

Not only did they manage to make unforgettable memories, but Liz was featured in Ariana’s 2018 “Thank U, Next” music video and performed together on stage. Additionally, their old Nickelodeon co-star Matt Bennett also joined them during the Sweetener Tour for a rendition of their famous “Victorious” duet, “Give It Up.

Regarding Ariana’s recent portrayal of Glinda in the stage-to-screen version of “Wicked“, the actress from “Dynasty” shared her immense pride for her childhood friend.

31-year-old stated, “I run into Ariana frequently, and we’re always up to something new, creating memories, and contributing pages to our storybook. I am incredibly thankful that we’ve been able to experience this extraordinary journey side by side, and I can hardly wait to see what lies ahead. This is a thrilling phase in her life, and I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of it, sharing her experiences so closely.

After all, the “One Last Time” singer has dreamed of this role since they were kids.

As a fellow ardent admirer, let me tell you, I can truly appreciate just how significant this project is to her. Back when I crossed paths with her at the tender age of 13 or 14, ‘Wicked’ was her passion, and Glinda was her idol. We used to croon the tunes together, and she would share her heartfelt aspirations of embodying this character. I’ve witnessed, throughout the grueling audition journey, the sheer determination and relentless drive she possessed to make this dream a reality. It brings me immense joy to say that her triumph is so richly deserved.

In the early 90s, Jonathan Taylor Thomas gained widespread recognition for his portrayal of Randy Taylor, the clever and endearing middle child, on the sitcom “Home Improvement”. During that decade, he also appeared in films such as providing the voice for young Simba in “The Lion King” (it’s important to note that he didn’t provide the singing voice), acting alongside Brad Renfro in “Tom and Huck” released in 1995, and teaming up with Devon Sawa in “Wild America”, which came out in 1997.

Instead of leaving “Home Improvement” in 1998 (as Randy ventured off to Costa Rica), he decided to concentrate on his education. However, he continued to act in various extracurricular activities.

In the year 2004, he played a recurring character on the show “8 Simple Rules.” In 2013, he reconnected with his TV father, Tim Allen, and directed (as well as acted in) several episodes of “Last Man Standing.

Though Justin Timberlake stepped back from the limelight to live his life and even graduated from Columbia in 2010, he doesn’t necessarily need to be on camera to make a big impact: When paparazzi do manage to capture him, those rare sightings often spread like wildfire online.

At such a young age, Lipnicki has made quite an impact in the movie industry, with performances that rival even Tom Cruise in terms of charm in ‘Jerry Maguire’. He also shared numerous memorable lines and later took on roles in films like ‘Stuart Little’, ‘Doctor Dolittle’ (as Baby Tiger), ‘The Little Vampire’, ‘Little Mike’, and ‘Dawson’s Creek’. However, he temporarily paused his acting career to enjoy a typical high school experience.

As an adult, he’s continued his career in the entertainment industry, appearing in the Lifetime movie titled “Secrets at the Museum” that was released in 2023. Born in Los Angeles, this individual is also proficient in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, having achieved the rank of black belt. In May 2021, he stepped forward to offer extra security outside a midtown synagogue due to an increase in anti-Semitic graffiti and intimidation.

Back in 2017, Lipnicki publicly shared on Instagram about the bullying he faced during middle school. He hoped that by disclosing his own story, it might provide some solace for others who have gone through similar experiences.

The kids mercilessly teased him, but over time they likely forgot their past actions and attempted to connect with him via Facebook as friends. He remembered being told he was past his prime and would never land another job, which caused him daily anxiety about the impending humiliation of the next day. However, he persevered, expressing gratitude for the incredible life he now lives and hoping to impart that things do indeed improve.

Wilson starred in Mrs. Doubtfire at 6 and Matilda at 9 before putting acting on the back burner.

In 2016, the author and activist published her memoir titled “Where Am I Now?: Tales of Girlhood and Unintended Celebrity.” She also made appearances on the TV series “Broad City” and lent her voice to animated shows such as “BoJack Horseman, Big Hero 6: The Series,” and “Helluva Boss.“.

In a February 2021 article for the New York Times, Wilson reflected on the pitfalls of early fame for young women, recalling an instance when someone she thought was a friend asked her, “How does it feel to have reached your highest point?” Now, Wilson would respond differently. She hasn’t reached her peak because, for her, The Narrative is no longer being dictated by others; she can write it herself.

By the time Gordon-Levitt appeared as Tommy Solomon, a character from an extraterrestrial research team disguised as ordinary humans on “3rd Rock From the Sun,” he had already accumulated significant acting experience. This series made its debut in 1996, the same year that saw him portray Demi Moore’s son in the thriller “The Jury.

By the year 1999, he had become the charming admirer in the film “10 Things I Hate About You”, a schemer in “Mysterious Skin” of 2004, and a tenacious high school detective investigating the disappearance of his former girlfriend in the 2005 noir drama “Brick”.

Despite appearing youthful enough to pass for a young adult, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has made significant strides in his acting career, with notable roles such as in “500 Days of Summer,” “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra,” “Inception,” “50/50,” “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Looper,” “Lincoln,” “Don Jon” (which he also wrote and directed), and “Snowden.” In 2020, Gordon-Levitt delved deeper into historical events by portraying a prosecutor in “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” and more recently, he played Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick in the series “Super Pumped.

He quietly married Tasha McCauley in 2014 and they share two children.

Thanks to her exceptionally mature and composed acting in the film The Professional at just 12 years old in 1994, Portman quickly gained a sense of seriousness at a young age – and she’s continued to meet these expectations ever since. Since making her impressive debut, she has appeared in major blockbusters (Star Wars: Episodes I through III; the Thor series and Avengers: Endgame), indie favorites (Beautiful Girls, Garden State), comedies (Mars Attacks!, Your Highness), intense dramas (Closer, Brothers) and apocalyptic thrillers (V for Vendetta, Annihilation).

In 2010, she won the Best Actress Oscar for portraying a ballerina losing her sanity in the movie “Black Swan.” This performance earned another nomination for her portrayal of Jacqueline Kennedy following the death of her husband, in the film “Jackie.” She then made her directorial debut with the 2015 film “A Tale of Love and Darkness,” which was based on Amos Oz’s autobiographical novel.

In 2012, she got married to her choreographer, Benjamin Millepied, who is known as her “Black Swan” partner. Together, they have a son named Aleph and a daughter called Amalia.

Jones gained notoriety as the character of Jon Cryer’s unfortunate divorcé (and Charlie Sheen’s songwriter nephew) in the popular sitcom ‘Two and a Half Men’ during the 2000s. In the year 2012, a video emerged online where Jones criticized the show, labeling it as “vulgar.” The clip was taken from a 15-minute spiritual talk for Forerunner Chronicles, an Adventist ministry based in Alabama.

Later on, Jones expressed regret for displaying a lack of concern and disregard towards my fellow colleagues, as well as not fully appreciating the remarkable chance that I’ve been given.

The actor soon left the series, but returned for the finale in 2015.

During his final season on the CBS sitcom, where he reportedly earned $350,000 per episode as a full-time cast member, Jones expressed to Houston TV station KHOU that the show often joked about issues in our society that are serious problems for many people. He admitted feeling like a hypocrite because he wasn’t comfortable with this, yet he continued to participate in it despite being paid for his role.

Prior to receiving an unconfirmed credit in the 2023 series “Bookie” on IMDb, his last acting credit was the 2016 limited series of Louis C.K., titled “Horace & Pete”.

In 2016, Jones studied at the University of Colorado in Boulder, leading a life he referred to as ordinary. He shared this with People magazine, stating, “For a long time, I had quite apocalyptic thoughts, but now I’m having fun and enjoying my current situation.” He further mentioned, “I no longer feel like each step I take is on a minefield.

Discussing actors who might be forever linked to a particular role, Daniel Radcliffe has shown great courage by seeking opportunities beyond Harry Potter. This is evident in his stage performances in plays like Equus and The Cripple of Inishmaan, as well as the musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying. On screen, he portrayed Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings and a flatulent corpse in Swiss Army Man. Additionally, on television, he played an opioid-addicted doctor in A Young Doctor’s Notebook.

More recently, he completed a four-season stint on Miracle Workers, portrayed the main character in The Al Yankovic Story and reappeared on Broadway for Merrily We Roll Along.

On a personal note, Radcliffe is dad to a son with longtime partner Erin Darke.

At about six years old, she first appeared on screen in the spinoff of the Andy Griffith Show titled Mayberry R.F.D., and at the tender age of 14, she received her first Oscar nomination for her portrayal as a girl exploited by a sinister pimp in Taxi Driver, her heartrending situation serving as the catalyst for Robert De Niro’s character, Travis Bickle, to resort to violent measures. In 1976, Foster also starred in the original Freaky Friday, a drastic change of tone from Taxi Driver, which solidified her status as a mainstream child star.

After a pause in her studies, the diligent learner enrolled at Yale. Following this interruption, she resumed her upward trajectory and was awarded her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, portraying a rape victim who pursued justice against her assailants in the film “The Accused” (1988). Subsequently, she embarked on her directorial career with “Little Man Tate” (1991), and then triumphed again by winning a Best Actress Oscar for her role as an ambitious FBI trainee in “The Silence of the Lambs” (1992).

The actress-cum-filmmaker received the prestigious Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the 2013 Golden Globes, and in recent years, she has taken on more directing roles for television, steering episodes of ‘House of Cards’, ‘Black Mirror’, and ‘Orange Is the New Black’. Some of her notable big-screen appearances in the 21st century include ‘Panic Room’, ‘Inside Man’, ‘Elysium’, ‘Hotel Artemis’, and ‘The Mauritanian’, which unexpectedly garnered her a win for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes in 2021.

In the real world, she is a mother to two sons, one from her previous relationship with Cydney Bernard, and later wed photographer and director Alexandra Hedison in 2014.

It’s only fitting that seasoned child actress Jodie Foster mentored Kristen Stewart during their time playing a mother-daughter duo in David Fincher’s 2002 thriller, “Panic Room.” Similar to her mentor, Stewart has had a complex relationship with fame, but on an entirely new scale after landing the highly sought-after and transformative role of Bella Swan in the “Twilight” series when she was approximately 16 years old.

In 2019, when speaking with Stellar magazine, Stewart recalled Foster thinking it was unlikely I’d persist in acting. However, this assumption had nothing to do with her talent, but rather her modest demeanor. Stewart further explained, “I adore my profession, but I can see why she might have doubted me as a youngster. I appreciate her.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d say that since wrapping up the epic five-part Twilight saga, this actress and Chanel muse has had no trouble finding her next big roles. Beyond the 2019 attempt to revive the Charlie’s Angels franchise, she has chosen to delve into more introspective films like The Clouds of Sils Maria, which earned her the first American actress to win a Cesar Award (the French equivalent of the Oscars). She also starred in the chilling drama Personal Shopper and the intriguing not-quite-biopics Seberg and Spencer.

Following the well-publicized breakup with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart has mostly been in relationships with women. She has been engaged to Dylan Meyer since the year 2021.

Decades prior to him wiping out half of Earth’s population with a snap, the son of actor James Brolin initially made his mark by portraying Brandon Walsh, the cool yet exasperated, protective, and compassionate big brother character in the 1985 movie “Goonies.

Brolin subsequently starred in multiple films such as “Flirting with Disaster,” “Mimic,” “No Country for Old Men” (which earned him a career boost and an Academy Award for Best Picture), “American Gangster,” “W.” (portraying the 43rd President, George W. Bush), “Milk” (for which he was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Dan White, who assassinated Harvey Milk, a city official and gay rights activist), “Jonah Hex,” “True Grit,” “Sicario,” “Deadpool 2,” and the blockbusters “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame,” where he was digitally transformed as the supervillain Thanos. Additionally, he will appear in both parts of the sci-fi epic “Dune.

Josh Brolin has two kids from his first marriage to Alice Adair. He then married Diane Lane in 2004, but they divorced in 2013. Since 2016, he’s been married to Kathryn Boyd. They had a daughter named Westlyn Reign Brolin in 2018, and another girl, Chapel Grace Brolin, was born in December 2020.

In my younger years, at just 10 years old, I graced the silver screen alongside the iconic duo of Cher and Winona Ryder in the ’90s films “Mermaids” and “The Addams Family.” I played the charmingly melancholic Wednesday Addams, a role that was introduced to audiences the following year.

1990s classics like “Casper” and “Now and Then” were part of a memorable era, followed by Claire Danes’ portrayal of intricate characters in films such as “The Opposite of Sex”, “Buffalo ’66”, “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, “Sleepy Hollow”, “Prozac Nation”, “Pumpkin” and “Monster”. In the latter, she appeared alongside Charlize Theron, who won an Oscar for her role as Aileen Wuornos’ girlfriend.

Over the past 30 years, most of Ricci’s activities have been thrilling. This includes her roles like playing a stylish ’60s flight attendant in the short-lived series Pan Am, or being bound to a radiator in Black Snake Moan, as well as portraying intriguing real women, such as ax murderer Lizzie Borden in The Lizzie Borden Chronicles and author and literary inspiration Zelda Fitzgerald in Z: The Beginning of Everything.

Ricci is mom to son Freddie with ex-husband James Heerdegen.

Back in December 2021, actress Yellowjackets gave birth to a baby girl named Cleopatra. She was married to Mark Hampton, a hairdresser, who walked her down the aisle in October of the same year.

Back in the day when I was just a kid, barely ten years old, the star of “Home Alone” made an unforgettable mark on the world with one ear-piercing shriek. But long before that iconic moment, he had been honing his craft since he was five, appearing in TV movies and taking on roles like Uncle Buck, Jacob’s Ladder, and more. He took a nearly decade-long break after 1994’s “Ri¢hie Ri¢h,” but the musician, painter, and occasional actor has been popping up in films here and there ever since, often starring in smaller movies with a significant cultural impact such as “Party Monster” and “Saved.

Following appearances on Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” and portraying a coffee shop version of himself on “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, Macaulay Culkin is expected to join the cast of the 10th season of “American Horror Story”, set to air in 2021, assuming pandemic safety measures are resolved.

The actor is currently betrothed to Brenda Song and together they have two sons: Dakota Song Culkin, named after his father’s late sister Dakota, who passed away in a car accident in 2008, and another son born in the year 2023, whose name remains undisclosed but made his public debut at his father’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on December 1, 2023.

In an unexpected twist, my journey took me from portraying Ally McBeal’s young self and Sean Penn’s daughter in the film “I Am Sam,” to setting a path as the first female officer of the New York Police Department turned private detective in the period drama “The Alienist.” However, it wasn’t an overnight transformation; it was more like a gradual evolution of my acting career.

She’s essentially been putting in an incredible amount of effort for over two decades, delivering standout performances in films like Uptown Girls, Man on Fire, Hide and Seek, War of the Worlds, Charlotte’s Web, The Secret Life of Bees, three Twilight movies, American Pastoral, and Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood. Notably, she portrayed real-life Charles Manson follower Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme in one of these films.

Apart from sharing screen time with her younger sister Elle Fanning in “The Nightingale,” she is also set to lead the adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s acclaimed novel, “The Bell Jar.” This novel, which is Plath’s only one, tells the story of a young woman struggling with mental illness during the 1950s.

She initially made her mark portraying a younger version of her sister Dakota’s character in the movie “I Am Sam” as “Lucy 2 years” back then, but this Fanning has since forged her unique path in acting and style, distinctly separating herself from her equally accomplished sibling.

She gathered typical roles as the offspring of adult celebrities in diverse movies such as “Daddy Day Care”, “The Door in the Floor”, “Babel”, and “Reservation Road”. Additionally, she made guest appearances on numerous episodes of various “CSI” series, “Criminal Minds”, “House”, “Law & Order: SVU”, and other shows that may have been inappropriate for her to watch at the time she was involved with them. However, as a teenager and into her twenties, her filmography expanded across genres, including family films like “We Bought a Zoo” and “Maleficent”, young adult titles such as “Super 8” and “Twixt”, prestigious dramas like “Trumbo” and “20th Century Women”, and eerie fantasies such as “The Neon Demon” and “The Beguiled”.

In her career journey, she has portrayed Mary Shelley in a movie bearing the same title and Catherine the Great in the Hulu satirical series titled “The Great“. Furthermore, she and Dakota have been cast as sisters in the eagerly awaited big-screen adaptation of “Kristin Hannah‘s” World War II-era novel “The Nightingale“.

The actress and vocalist, who gained fame on Disney Channel’s Lizzie McGuire, has matured over time. After her breakout role, she smoothly transitioned into more family-oriented productions like Agent Cody Banks, Cheaper by the Dozen, and A Cinderella Story.

However, following a period where Duff seemed to take a step back, she has shone once more in Younger, portraying a character with deeper layers than initially perceived who works alongside Sutton Foster’s character, a 40-year-old pretending to be a millennial on the TV Land series. This critically acclaimed show is set for a seventh season. Although a spin-off focusing on Duff’s character Kelsey in Younger sounds intriguing, fans of the original series were eagerly anticipating her return as Lizzie, and this was supposed to happen through a reboot on Disney+. Regrettably, the revival of the beloved series has been postponed.

She has since starred in two seasons of How I Met Your Father.

Duff and former hockey player Mike Comrie, who is Luca Comrie’s father, parted ways after nearly four years of marriage in 2014, leading to a divorce. Later, she had a daughter named Banks Violet Koma with songwriter Matthew Koma in 2018, and they tied the knot in 2019. In 2021, they added another baby girl, Mae James Koma, to their family.

The younger sibling of Kirk Cameron, who was a star in “Growing Pains”, gained popularity as a trendsetter for 12-year-olds with her styled hair, portraying the studious eldest Tanner sister D.J. on “Full House” from 1987 to 1995.

The younger sister of Kirk Cameron, a well-known actor in “Growing Pains”, became famous for setting hair trends among 12-year-olds as she played the studious eldest Tanner sister D.J. on “Full House” from 1987 to 1995.

She has appeared in numerous TV films, some of which carry powerful messages, like the 1996 production “No One Would Tell,” a dramatization of a true event where a high school student was brutally murdered by her 16-year-old boyfriend, after enduring his abuse in silence for months (we’re still shaken by this tragedy).

In more recent times, following a two-season stint as co-host on “The View“, and rejoining almost the entire Tanner family for five seasons of “Fuller House” on Netflix, Candace has risen to prominence. She is now a key figure in the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas programming and stars in their Aurora Teagarden murder-mystery series, which is based on books by Charlaine Harris.

In the year 2021, she marked her 25th wedding anniversary with Valeri Bure, a retired NHL player, who is also the father of her three kids.

For eight consecutive seasons, Stephanie Tanner, the middle sister on the show “Full House”, was portrayed by Sweetin. However, post her acting stint, Sweetin faced battles with substance abuse, a struggle she openly detailed in her 2009 autobiography titled “unSweetined”.

From 2002 to 2016, three marriages contributed to the news buzz, as did her short-lived engagement with Justin Hodak. Hodak, who had multiple problems, ultimately breached a restraining order she had against him, leading to his imprisonment for over six years in 2019 on charges of unlawful possession of a lethal weapon and tampering with evidence.

Since 2008, the mother of daughters Zoie and Beatrix has been sober. For five seasons on Netflix’s Fuller House, she reconnected with the Tanner family. Additionally, she has appeared in various films for the Hallmark Channel, such as Merry and Bright in 2019 and the romantic comedy Just Swipe.

The character Michelle Tanner from the popular ABC sitcom “Full House” was portrayed by not one, but two actors – growing from an innocent baby to a witty 6-year-old. Following their TV success, these twins leveraged their fame into a series of films (both big screen and direct-to-video), establishing a production company, launching children’s clothing lines, writing books, and creating numerous other products – ultimately building an extensive Olsen business empire.

After 2004’s “New York Minute”, Mary-Kate carried on acting, becoming part of the cast for a season in “Weeds” and appearing in films like “The Wackness” and “Beastly”. Ashley, however, largely moved away from acting and now both sisters are primarily renowned fashion industry titans, running the CFDA Award-winning brands The Row and Elizabeth & James.

In 2023, Ashley quietly gave birth to her first child with Louis Eisner, whom she’s been partnered with since 2017. Meanwhile, Mary-Kate wed Olivier Sarkozy in 2015 and chose to end their marriage in 2020.

Prior to his rise to movie stardom, the awards, the activism, and the luxurious lifestyle, Leonardo DiCaprio was once a homeless teenager. In 1991, he moved in with the Seaver family on “Growing Pains.” Despite his baby face that made him look even more youthful than his actual age of 16 during the show and years of acting experience prior to this, DiCaprio earned his first Academy Award nomination for his role in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” He played a succession of troubled characters, including those in “A Boy’s Life,” “The Basketball Diaries,” “Marvin’s Room,” and, love-troubled as he was, “Romeo + Juliet.

He still kinda looked like a kid in Titanic, but at 22 he had reached full-on heartthrob status.

For about ten years, Leonardo DiCaprio has been featured in movies like Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, The Revenant (earning his first Best Actor Oscar), and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Accio, adulthood!

After making a remarkable debut as Hermione Granger in eight Harry Potter films, the English actress ventured into young adult literature adaptations like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Bling Ring. She also shared the screen with Tom Hanks in The Circle, and utilizes her platform as a UN Goodwill Ambassador to uplift women globally and advocate for gender equality.

Originally from New Mexico, this individual experienced an incredible stroke of luck during his first attempt, receiving a Golden Globe nomination at just 15 years old for his initial role as a gloomy boy who forms a connection with the household help in the 1988 TV film “Clara’s Heart.” However, things could have easily gone awry for the actor from the drama-comedy series “Doogie Howser, M.D.,” where he portrayed a 16-year-old genius doctor. In a delightful twist, he mockingly suggested that his career faced difficulties when he playfully poked fun at himself in the movie “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

Though his acting career experienced a pause as he took time to regroup after his intense youth in Hollywood, he immersed himself in theater, appearing in three Broadway productions. The ideal television opportunity eventually emerged, transforming him into the charming playboy Barney Stinson on “How I Met Your Mother,” for which he received four Emmy nominations. In 2010, he was nominated for three Emmys and won two – one for co-producing the 2009 Tonys and another for his guest appearance on “Glee.

This versatile performer, skilled in acting, singing, dancing, and magic, has hosted the Tonys on four occasions (each time taking home an Emmy for exceptional programming as a producer). He’s also graced the Emmys stage twice and the Oscars once, in 2015. In addition, he received a Tony in 2014 for Best Actor in a Musical, playing the lead role in “Hedwig and the Angry Inch“.

Back in 2010, my heart skipped a beat when our beautiful twins, Gideon and Harper, made their grand entry into the world through surrogacy. Fast forward to 2014, and I was overjoyed as David Burtka and I exchanged vows, officially becoming a married couple. It’s been an incredible journey with these two bundles of joy!

At the tender age of 4, she charmed everyone as the adorable Olivia on “The Cosby Show,” and subsequently starred in movies like “The Little Rascals,” “Doctor Dolittle” and its sequel. In 2003, she found her own success with the popular Disney Channel sitcom “That’s So Raven.” During this time, she not only showcased her role as a psychic teen with unique style but also made appearances in various other Disney productions such as “The Cheetah Girls,” “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” “Kim Possible,” and “Sonny With a Chance.

After her show ended in 2007, Raven-Symoné appeared in various TV shows such as American Dad, Nashville, State of Georgia, The Jim Gaffigan Show, Master of None, Drunk History, and has had a recurring role on Black-ish since 2015. Additionally, she spent three seasons as a co-host on The View and got married to Miranda Maday in June 2020.
