These Former Child Stars Then & Now Will Make You Feel Nostalgic AF

Reflecting upon these remarkable individuals, I find myself awestruck by their journeys and the resilience they’ve demonstrated throughout their lives. From child prodigies to multi-talented entertainers, each of them has navigated the complexities of fame and fortune with grace and humor.

As time passed, Jonathan Taylor Thomas’s fans eventually came to terms with his retirement from acting, progressing through the typical stages of coping with loss.

However, just because the world may not always focus on the 43-year-old when he’s living his life doesn’t mean that paparazzi don’t capture moments of him, like when they caught him walking in Los Angeles last year with a travel mug.

Apart from that, what exactly is retirement in acting? The ’90s-heartthrob popularly known as J.T.T. did appear in a few episodes of Tim Allen’s sitcom Last Man Standing. And when eldest daughter Kristin (Amanda Fuller) mentioned the middle child who’s “the breakout star everyone adores,” and there was Thomas playing her boss, the live studio audience reacted fittingly.

Frequently, it’s joked that the middle child often becomes the comedian as they seek the limelight. (However, the affectionate references didn’t stop there.)

Allen has shared optimism that a new installment of the TV series Home Improvement, in some shape or form, might take flight; however, his on-screen wife, Patricia Richardson, stated that nobody ever discussed this possibility with her (or Thomas).

She mentioned during the March episode of the Back to the Best podcast that she inquired of Jonathan, “Has he asked you about this?” and he responded, “No.” In simpler terms, she asked if Jonathan had been questioned about something, and he said no.

Richardson mentioned the ongoing legal issues of Zachery Ty Bryan, the eldest Taylor son, and the absence of the youngest Taylor sibling, Taran Noah Smith, from acting since Home Improvement, as potential obstacles for a reunion.

Additionally, she added, “Jonathan isn’t particularly keen on acting; instead, he wants to direct and write scripts. Unfortunately, we no longer have Wilson (a character played by Earl Hind, who passed away in 2003).

Indeed, it appears that Thomas has a strong preference for collaborating with Allen, as he directed three episodes of “Last Man Standing” and occasionally makes special on-screen appearances too.

And Allen’s latest sitcom, Shifting Gears, is slated to premiere on ABC in January… 

Well, shoot, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, isn’t it?

Every sighting of Thomas serves as a poignant reminder of the profound affection we held for him in the past, and it’s worth noting that he wasn’t alone in significantly influencing our pop culture learning experience.

Delve into a blast from the past with a trip down memory lane as we compare how our beloved former child stars have evolved over time. Regardless of whether they’ve retired from show business like Thomas or continue to dazzle us on screen, let’s take a peek at how they appear in Tiger Beat today and reminisce about their yesteryears.

JTT gained popularity as he portrayed the intelligent and endearing middle child Randy Taylor on the show “Home Improvement” from 1991. During that decade, his film roles expanded to include lending his voice to young Simba in “The Lion King,” even though he didn’t sing in the movie. He also appeared alongside Brad Renfro in the 1995 film “Tom and Huck” and with Devon Sawa in the 1997 release, “Wild America.

Instead of leaving Home Improvement in 1998 (where Randy ventured off to Costa Rica), he decided to concentrate more on his education. However, he continued acting in other activities outside of school.

In the year 2004, he was a regular character on the show “8 Simple Rules.” Fast forward to 2013, he reconnected with his TV father, Tim Allen, and took on the roles of both director and actor in several episodes of “Last Man Standing.

But though JTT backed away from the spotlight to live his life, which included graduating from Columbia in 2010, Thomas doesn’t need to be onscreen to cause a splash: On the rare occasions the paparazzi snap him, the sightings go viral.

In comparison to most children his age, Lipnicki made a particularly impactful film debut. He held his own against Tom Cruise in terms of charm in the movie “Jerry Maguire” and even shared nearly equal memorable lines with him. After that, he appeared in roles such as those in the “Stuart Little” films, lending his voice to Baby Tiger in “Doctor Dolittle,” playing The Little Vampire, and starring as Little Mike. Additionally, he made a guest appearance on “Dawson’s Creek.” However, he paused his acting career to have a typical high school experience.

I, being a dedicated follower, am still active in the entertainment industry as an adult, with a notable role in the 2023 Lifetime movie titled “Secrets at the Museum.” Born and raised in Los Angeles, I hold the rank of black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. In a show of solidarity, I volunteered my services for additional security outside a mid-city synagogue in May 2021, during a surge in anti-Semitic vandalism and harassment.

2017 saw Lipnicki bravely disclose on Instagram the torment he endured in middle school due to bullying. He did so with the intention of offering solace and understanding to others who might be going through similar experiences.

The kids mercilessly teased him in the past, but later on, they probably regretted their actions and tried to befriend him on Facebook. He remembered being told he was a failure who would never find work again. Every night, he would have panic attacks, fearing the next day’s embarrassment. However, he managed to overcome those difficult times and expressed his gratitude for the wonderful life he has now, hoping to inspire others by saying, “I am thankful for the incredible life I live and I believe it truly does get better.

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

2016 saw the publication of Mara Wilson’s memoir, titled “Where Am I Now?: Tales from a Life in Girlhood and Unintended Celebrity”, alongside her appearances on “Broad City” and lending her voice to animated series such as “BoJack Horseman”, “Big Hero 6: The Series”, and “Helluva Boss”.

In a February 2021 op-Ed piece for the New York Times, Wilson reflected on an instance when someone who I thought was a friend inquired, ‘How does it feel to have reached your peak?’ with a broad grin. This question, Wilson stated, is misguided. At that time, I didn’t know how to respond, but now I would say that the appropriate question isn’t about peaking; rather, it’s about whether I have reached my peak. For me, The Narrative no longer belongs to someone else – I am now in control of writing it myself.

By the time Gordon-Levitt played Tommy Solomon on “3rd Rock From the Sun,” a show about an alien team disguised as a normal human family that premiered in 1996, he had already amassed substantial acting experience. Interestingly, that same year, he portrayed Demi Moore’s son in the thriller “The Jury.

In the late ’90s, I was the lovable romantic longing for love in the movie “10 Things I Hate About You.” Fast forward a few years, and I transformed into a cunning street-smart character in “Mysterious Skin.” And then, in 2005, I took on the role of a relentless teenage detective searching for answers about his ex-girlfriend’s disappearance in the noir drama “Brick.” Each of these roles has been an exciting journey that has allowed me to showcase my versatility as an actor.

Despite appearing youthful enough to pass for a man in his early twenties, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has made a name for himself in adult roles. Some of his most notable performances include “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 into real-life events as a prosecutor in “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” and he portrayed Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick in the series “Super Pumped.

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

Due to her exceptionally mature acting at the age of 12 in the film “The Professional” released in 1994, Portman gained a sense of seriousness and weight early on, and she continues to meet and exceed these expectations. Since making her impressive debut, she’s taken on major blockbusters such as the Star Wars prequels (Episodes I through III) and the Thor series including Avengers: Endgame, indie films like Beautiful Girls and Garden State, comedies such as Mars Attacks! and Your Highness, intense dramas like Closer and Brothers, and apocalyptic thrillers like V for Vendetta and Annihilation.

In 2010, she won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of a ballerina who was losing her sanity in the film “Black Swan.” This performance also earned another nomination as she embodied Jacqueline Kennedy in the movie “Jackie.” Her first directorial role in features came with the 2015 release “A Tale of Love and Darkness,” which was an adaptation from Amos Oz’s autobiographical novel.

In 2012, she tied the knot with her choreographer from the “Black Swan” production, Benjamin Millepied. Together, they are proud parents to a son named Aleph and a daughter named Amalia.

Jones gained prominence as the character of Jon Cryer’s downtrodden divorcee (and Charlie Sheen’s playboy songwriter’s nephew) in the popular sitcom “Two and a Half Men” during the 2000s. In 2012, a video emerged online where Jones criticized the show, labeling it as “filth.” The clip originated from a 15-minute spiritual testimony given to Forerunner Chronicles, an Alabama-based Seventh-day Adventist ministry.

Later on, Jones expressed regret for exhibiting unconcern and disregard towards my fellow team members, as well as failing to fully appreciate the rare chance that I’ve been given.

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

Jones, who reportedly earned $350,000 per episode during his final season as a regular on the CBS sitcom, shared with Houston TV station KHOU that the show often made jokes about serious issues in our society, which were actual problems for many people. He admitted that he was being paid to act, yet he himself wasn’t comfortable with it because he didn’t agree with the show’s approach.

Prior to a 2023 appearance on the Max series “Bookie” that hasn’t been credited yet, his last acting credit was in Louis C.K.’s 2016 limited series “Horace & Pete.

In 2016, Jones shared with People that his life was ordinary while studying at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He had previously been quite pessimistic, but now he’s enjoying himself and appreciating his current situation. He no longer feels like every move he makes is a dangerous step.

Discussing actors who might have been typecast due to famous roles, Daniel Radcliffe has shown remarkable courage in seeking out diverse parts. This is evident in his theatrical performances such as Equus and The Cripple of Inishmaan, or musicals like How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying; on screen, he played Beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings and a flatulent corpse in Swiss Army Man. On television, he portrayed an opioid-addicted doctor in A Young Doctor’s Notebook.

More recently, he concluded a four-season stint on “Miracle Workers,” took on the lead role in “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” and reappeared on Broadway in “Merrily We Roll Along.

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

She made her acting debut at around 6 in the Andy Griffith Show spinoff Mayberry R.F.D. and earned her first Oscar nomination at 14 for her turn as a girl being prostituted by a creepy pimp in Taxi Driver, her plight being what drives Robert De Niro‘s Travis Bickle to take violent action. Also in 1976, Foster starred in the original Freaky Friday, the tonal opposite of Taxi Driver, which made her more of a mainstream child star.

After a brief hiatus, the dedicated student enrolled at Yale University and subsequently resumed her remarkable career trajectory. This was followed by her first Oscar win for Best Supporting Actress, which she received for portraying a gang-rape victim who pursues justice against her attackers in the 1988 film “The Accused.” She made her feature directorial debut with “Little Man Tate” in 1991 and then claimed another Oscar for Best Actress, playing an ambitious FBI trainee in “The Silence of the Lambs,” released in 1992.

The artist, who excels both on screen and behind the camera, received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the 2013 Golden Globes. Over recent years, she has taken on more directing roles for television, overseeing episodes of House of Cards, Black Mirror, and Orange Is the New Black. In the 21st century, her significant films include Panic Room, Inside Man, Elysium, Hotel Artemis, and The Mauritanian, which unexpectedly won her a Golden Globe for best supporting actress in 2021.

In the real world, she is a mom to two boys from her previous relationship with Cydney Bernard, and she tied the knot with photographer and director Alexandra Hedison in 2014.

It’s only fitting that veteran child actress Jodie Foster, who played a nurturing role towards her onscreen daughter in David Fincher’s 2002 thriller ‘Panic Room’, took Kristen Stewart under her wing. Just like Foster, Stewart has navigated a complex journey with fame, but on an unprecedented scale after landing the breakthrough, transformative role of Bella Swan in the ‘Twilight’ series at the age of 16, thanks to the power of the Internet.

In an interview with Stellar magazine in 2019, Stewart shared that Foster had once believed he wouldn’t carry on acting, not because of his talent, but rather due to his understated personality. Stewart further explained, “I enjoy my career, but I can see why she might have doubted my dedication as a child. I admire her greatly.

Since wrapping up the five-movie Twilight series, the actress and Chanel muse has had no trouble securing roles. However, apart from her attempt to revive the Charlie’s Angels franchise in 2019, she has chosen to focus on more introspective films. These include The Clouds of Sils Maria, where she won the first American actress to receive a Cesar Award (the French equivalent of the Oscars), as well as Personal Shopper, an unsettling drama. Additionally, she has taken on roles in not-quite-biopics such as Seberg and Spencer.

Since her high-profile romance with Robert Pattinson concluded, Stewart has predominantly been in relationships with women. She has been engaged to Dylan Meyer since the year 2021.

Before becoming known for disappearing half of Earth’s population years later, the actor who would eventually be James Brolin’s son kick-started his career by portraying the cool yet exasperated big brother Brandon Walsh in the 1985 movie “The Goonies.

Brolin subsequently starred in numerous films such as “Flirting With Disaster,” “Mimic,” “No Country for Old Men” (which won Best Picture Oscar and boosted his career), “American Gangster,” “W.” (portraying 43rd President George W. Bush), “Milk” (he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor due to his portrayal of Dan White, the San Francisco councilman who murdered gay rights activist Harvey Milk), “Jonah Hex,” “True Grit,” “Sicario,” “Deadpool 2,” and both “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Endgame,” donning CGI as villain Thanos. Additionally, he played a role in the sci-fi epic “Dune,” with parts one already released and the second part scheduled for release soon.

In a world where I’m an ardent admirer, let me share the family journey of the remarkable Jack Brolin. He had two lovely offspring from his first matrimony with Alice Adair. Following this, he was in wedlock with Diane Lane from 2004 to 2013. Fast forward to 2016, I’m delighted to say that Jack tied the knot again, this time with Kathryn Boyd. Their first bundle of joy, Westlyn Reign Brolin, arrived in 2018, and just last December, they were blessed with another precious daughter, Chapel Grace Brolin.

At just 10 years old, she appeared in her first movie alongside Cher and Winona Ryder, notably in “Mermaids” and “The Addams Family” (1990). The following year, her role as the witty and somber Wednesday Addams was released.

1990s classics like Casper and Now and Then were enjoyed, and then Claire Danes started playing complex characters in movies 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 portrayed the girlfriend of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, a role that earned Charlize Theron her Oscar win.

For the last 30 years, Ricci has mostly been involved in thrilling pursuits. This includes portraying a stylish ’60s flight attendant in the short-lived series Pan Am, getting shackled to a radiator in Black Snake Moan, and delving into intriguing real-life women like ax murderer Lizzie Borden in The Lizzie Borden Chronicles, author and Fitzgerald’s muse 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 tied the knot with her hairstylist husband, Mark Hampton, whom she wedded in October of the same year.

Macaulay Culkin solidified his legendary image at just 10 years old through one chilling scream in the movie “Home Alone,” but he had been actively working in television films since he was about 5, including roles in “Uncle Buck,” “Jacob’s Ladder,” and others. After a nearly decade-long break following the release of “Ri¢hie Ri¢h” in 1994, Culkin has intermittently returned to acting, primarily in smaller films with significant cultural impact like “Party Monster” and “Saved.

Following his work on Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” and portraying a barista version of himself on “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, Macaulay Culkin is expected to appear in the 10th season of “American Horror Story”, scheduled for release in 2021, assuming all pandemic-related precautions are addressed.

The actor is currently in a relationship with Brenda Song, and together they have two sons: Dakota Song Culkin (named after his late older sister Dakota) and another boy born in 2023 whose name has yet to be disclosed; the latter made his public debut at his father’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony on December 1, 2023.

It appears that Dakota transitioned from acting roles such as Ally McBeal’s 5-year-old self and Sean Penn’s 6-year-old daughter in “I Am Sam” to setting a path as the first female employee of the New York Police Department who later became a private detective in the period drama “The Alienist,” not overnight, but over time.

She has been putting in an incredible amount of effort for over 20 years, 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 followers of Charles Manson, specifically Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, in one of these films.

Apart from appearing in the movie “The Nightingale” alongside her little sister Elle Fanning, she’s also set to lead an adaptation of Sylvia Plath’s renowned and solitary novel, “The Bell Jar”. This novel portrays a young woman struggling with mental illness during the 1950s.

Initially, she made her debut portraying the role of “Lucy 2 years,” a younger version of Dakota’s character in the movie “I Am Sam“. However, this Fanning sister has since forged her unique path in acting and style, distinctly separate from her equally successful sibling.

She gathered typical roles as the child of adult celebrities in several films such as “Daddy Day Care”, “The Door in the Floor”, “Babel”, and “Reservation Road”. Additionally, she made guest appearances on numerous “CSI” series, “Criminal Minds”, “House”, “Law & Order: SVU”, and possibly shows she was too young to watch when she starred in them. However, as a teenager and into her twenties, her film roles expanded across various genres, encompassing family-friendly movies like “We Bought a Zoo” and “Maleficent”, young adult stories like “Super 8” and “Twixt”, prestigious dramas such as “Trumbo” and “20th Century Women”, and thought-provoking fantasies like “The Neon Demon” and “The Beguiled”.

During her journey, she has portrayed Mary Shelley in a film titled after her name and Catherine the Great in the Hulu satire “The Great.” Next, she and Dakota are set to play sisters in the highly anticipated big-screen version of Kristin Hannah’s World War II-era novel, “The Nightingale.

Over the years, I’ve matured quite a bit since my breakout days on the Disney Channel’s Lizzie McGuire. Since then, I’ve gracefully transitioned into roles that cater to a broader family audience, such as Agent Cody Banks, Cheaper by the Dozen, and A Cinderella Story.

Following a period with fewer significant roles, Duff has shone brightly once more in Younger, portraying the multifaceted coworker of Sutton Foster’s character who pretends to be a millennial on the critically acclaimed TV Land series, which is set to air its seventh season soon. While the idea of a spin-off focusing on Duff’s Younger character Kelsey is intriguing, longtime fans were eagerly anticipating her reprisal as Lizzie in a planned Disney+ reboot. Unfortunately, the resurgence of this cherished series has been postponed.

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

Duff and hockey player Mike Comrie, the father of their son Luca Comrie, parted ways in 2014 following nearly four years of marriage, eventually finalizing their divorce. Later, she had a daughter named Banks Violet Koma with songwriter Matthew Koma in 2018, and they got married in 2019. In the year 2021, they expanded their family by welcoming another baby girl, Mae James Koma.

As a dedicated admirer, I can’t help but reminisce about the iconic influence of Candace Cameron, Kirk Cameron’s younger sibling. Her portrayal of the studious eldest Tanner sister D.J. on Full House, which graced our screens from 1987 to 1995, transformed her into a crinkle-haired fashion idol for countless 12-year-olds like me.

I can’t help but be captivated by the incredible body of work this actress has produced, particularly her role in the TV movie “No One Would Tell” from 1996. This film, based on a true story, tells the heart-wrenching tale of a high school student who was tragically murdered by her 16-year-old boyfriend after enduring his abuse in silence for months. To this day, the story continues to resonate deeply within me.

Over the past while, I’ve been absolutely thrilled to spend two seasons as a co-host on “The View,” reconnect with nearly the entire Tanner family for five seasons of “Fuller House” on Netflix, and now, I’ve ascended to the throne in the Hallmark Channel’s annual Christmas extravaganza! Not only that, but I’m also the leading lady in their Aurora Teagarden murder-mystery series, adapted from the novels penned by none other than Charlaine Harris. It’s a dream come true for this devoted fan girl like me!

In the year 2021, she marked her 25th wedding anniversary with Valeri Bure, a retired NHL player, and together they share three children.

For eight seasons, Stephanie Tanner, the middle sister character on ‘Full House’, was played by Sweetin. However, following the show, Sweetin faced issues with substance abuse, which she openly discussed in her 2009 memoir titled ‘unSweetined’.

From 2002 to 2016, three marriages contributed to the sensational news stories, as did her short-lived engagement with Justin Hodak. Hodak, who had numerous problems, ultimately breached a restraining order that had been imposed on him and in 2019 was imprisoned for over six years due to illegal possession of a deadly weapon and fabrication of evidence.

As a clean living enthusiast since 2008, I’ve had the pleasure of rejoining the Tanner family for five seasons of “Fuller House” on Netflix, and graced several Hallmark Channel productions. Some of my notable roles include the Christmas-themed movie “Merry and Bright” in 2019, as well as the romantic comedy “Just Swipe”.

The character of Michelle Tanner, initially portrayed as a naive baby and later a clever 6-year-old on the popular ABC sitcom “Full House”, was played by not one but two individuals. These twins leveraged their fame from the show to produce movies, launch a production company, create kids’ clothing lines, write books, and more, thus expanding into a thriving Olsen business empire.

After 2004’s “New York Minute”, Mary-Kate carried on acting, joining the cast of “Weeds” for a season and featuring in the movies “The Wackness” and “Beastly”. On the other hand, Ashley mostly stepped away from acting. Nowadays, both are highly successful figures in the fashion industry, serving as co-founders of CFDA Award-winning brands The Row and Elizabeth & James.

In the year 2023, Ashley quietly brought her first baby into the world alongside Louis Eisner, whom she’s been with since 2017. Meanwhile, Mary-Kate tied the knot with Olivier Sarkozy in 2015 but later filed for divorce in 2020.

Prior to his movie stardom, Oscar wins, activism, and lavish lifestyle, Leonardo DiCaprio was a homeless teenager named Luke who moved in with the Seaver family on “Growing Pains” in 1991. Known for his youthful appearance that belied his actual age (he was already 16 on “GP” and had been acting for years), DiCaprio received his first of six Oscar nominations for “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” He played a string of troubled characters in films such as “A Boy’s Life,” “The Basketball Diaries,” “Marvin’s Room,” and, despite his romantic troubles portrayed in the role, “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 graced our screens in movies like Inception, The Wolf of Wall Street, Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, The Revenant (which earned him his first Best Actor Oscar), and Killers of the Flower Moon.

Accio, adulthood!

After achieving great success as Hermione Granger in eight Harry Potter movies, the British actress subsequently starred in young adult novels’ adaptations like The Perks of Being a Wallflower and The Bling Ring, shared the screen with Tom Hanks in The Circle, and has utilized her status as a UN Goodwill Ambassador to uplift women and promote gender equality on a global scale.

Originally from New Mexico, the young actor struck gold with his first attempt, receiving a Golden Globe nomination at 15 for his initial role as a moody boy who forms a connection with their household help in the 1988 television movie titled “Clara’s Heart.” However, things might not have turned out well for the star of the TV series “Doogie Howser, M.D.”, where he portrayed a 16-year-old genius doctor. Neal Patrick Harris humorously depicted this potential misfortune when he playfully mocked himself in the film “Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle.

But though he had a dry spell while he unwound from overdoing it as a youngster adrift in Hollywood, he did tons of theater, including three Broadway shows, and the right TV role eventually presented itself in the form of genial playboy Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother, for which he earned four Emmy nominations. In 2010 alone he was nominated for three Emmys and won two, for co-producing the 2009 Tonys and guest-starring on Glee

This versatile performer, skilled in acting, singing, dancing, and even magic, has hosted the Tonys on four occasions (winning an Emmy for exceptional program production each time), and also received Emmys twice and an Oscar once, in 2015. Moreover, he was honored with a Tony Award in 2014 for Best Actor in a Musical, playing the lead role in Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

As a devoted companion, I, Harris, have been blessed with two beautiful children, Gideon and Harper, through surrogacy in the year 2010. My loving partner, David Burtka, and I officially became husband and husband when we exchanged vows in 2014.

In my early years, I charmed audiences as the adorable Olivia on “The Cosby Show” at just four years old. Following that, I graced the big screen in films like “The Little Rascals,” “Doctor Dolittle,” and “Doctor Dolittle 2.” My career took a turn for the better when I starred in my own beloved Disney Channel sitcom, “That’s So Raven,” in 2003. During this time, I also made appearances on various other Disney productions such as “The Cheetah Girls,” “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” “Kim Possible,” and “Sonny With a Chance.

In the years following her show’s end in 2007, Raven-Symoné appeared in various TV shows such as “American Dad”, “Nashville”, “State of Georgia”, “The Jim Gaffigan Show”, “Master of None” and “Drunk History”. She has been a recurring character on “Black-ish” since 2015. Additionally, Raven-Symoné spent three seasons as a co-host on “The View”, and in June 2020, she married Miranda Maday.
