Bridgit Mendler rose to fame as a child star, but her life has taken a different turn.
Mendler, known for her starring role in the Disney Channel show “Good Luck Charlie,” moved on from Hollywood to get an extensive education and is now the CEO of Northwood Space, a satellite start-up. In addition to her impressive resume, she just announced that she has adopted a son.
On Monday, she announced that her company had received $6.3 million in seed money to help work towards their goal of “building a data highway between earth and space.”

She added, “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.”
Along with her statement, she shared a photo of husband Griffin Cleverly with their son silhouetted as they stand on the shore, looking out at the ocean.
