Boy Meets World star Will Friedle, 48, announced Monday that he’s going to become a grandpa for the first time. Friedle, who played Ben Savage’s older brother Eric Matthews on the show, revealed on his podcast Pod Meets World that his stepdaughter Lexi is expecting her first child. Podcast co-host and former co-star Danielle Fishel, who played Topanga Lawrence, broke the news first, announcing: “Will’s about to be a grandfather.” “Yeah, my stepdaughter’s about to have my first grandchild, so I’m very happy. I’m ‘bout to be a poppy!” Friedle confirmed to his other co-host and Boy Meets World co-star, Rider Strong, who played Shawn Hunter, as well as Lynn McCracken, the show’s director and stage manager. His co-hosts shared his excitement with Fishel telling him, “It’s going to be fun, I can’t wait.” Friedle began dating his current wife, Susan, when Lexi was just around 16 years old. The pair married in September 2016, and now at 35, Lexi is expecting her first child.
