Will Friedle is going to be a grandfather!
The Boy Meets World star, 48, shared on his podcast Pod Meets World on Monday, May 19, that his stepdaughter Lexi is about to have her first baby. Although Friedle himself does not have any kids, the star is stepdad to his wife Susan’s daughter Lexi, 35.
Speaking with his co-podcast hosts Danielle Fishel and Rider Strong, as well as Boy Meets World’s stage manager and director Lynn McCracken, the actor revealed that his stepdaughter is getting ready to give birth, which will make him a grandfather for the first time.
“Will’s about to be a grandfather,” Fishel said, prompting McCracken to say, “What?”
“I’m about to be a grandfather, actually,” Friedle confirms. “Yeah, my stepdaughter’s about to have my first grandchild, so I’m very happy. I’m ’bout to be a poppy!”
After Fishel says, “It’s going to be fun, I can’t wait,” Friedle adds, “It’s gonna be great. I can’t either.”
Friedle and his wife Susan tied the knot in September 2016. Lexi was 21 when the couple began dating.
In a previous episode of Pod Save World, Friedle shocked Fishel and Strong after he revealed that he doesn’t celebrate his wife Susan on Mother’s Day.
“Wait, did I have to get stuff for every month? I don’t get stuff for Sue on Mother’s Day, am I supposed to?” he said, after getting flustered when Fishel and Strong told him he should honor his wife on the holiday.
“Do you say Happy Mother’s Day?” Rider asked, with Friedle responding, “Probably not. I don’t know!”
“Wow,” Strong replied, and Fishel said, “Will! Did you not say ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ today? Do you celebrate the holiday for her at all?”
“I say it to my mom,” Friedle repeated, and Strong told him that he “should acknowledge” his wife on the day.
After witnessing his co-hosts shock, the podcaster tried to explain himself, noting that Martens’ daughter is older, and Fishel quickly retorted, “It doesn’t matter, she’s still a mother.”
Friedle then just admitted, “I know, I never think about it, I guess.”

Kourtney Kardashian Barker is sharing her opinion on her kids going to school.
On this week’s episode of her sister Khloé Kardashian’s podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, the Lemme co-founder, 46, spoke with Khloé about some of their best and worst memories together. As Kourtney begins talking about the era in which she, Khloé and Kim were feuding, the mom of four attributed some of that to her beginning therapy and putting up new boundaries.
“I would..kind of started challenging the ways that we did things, sometimes the way that we just all function,” Kourtney says.
“No I know that era, and I hated it too,” says Khloé. “Now I sometimes feel like we’re in that era. Sometimes.”
“Well, I feel like I love to just go against the grain, I think,” Kourtney replies.

Khloé then asks her sister if she pushes back on some of these things because she truly feels that way, or if she just wants to be different.
“No, I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is,” says Kourtney. “For me, there’s so many ways. There’s ways we function as a family that…it’s like if someone does the same thing every day. Like I do it with everything, it’s not about our family.”
“Like, let’s say the school system. I’ll think, ‘Why do kids f—— go to school?’ Truly. It’s so dated,” Kourtney says.
“Oh, I’m such a homeschool person,” replies Khloé. “So don’t even get me going.”
Kourtney then says she’ll begin thinking about the subject, and her kids will start sending her videos from “successful people” whose kids never go to school.
“And then I’m like, ‘What’s the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let’s do it!’ Or whatever it is. I think it’s anything,” she continues. “I will like nurse the fever of my kids versus giving Tylenol or ibuprofen. I just want to do that. And whatever it is, there’s so many things like that where I feel like I kinda do, maybe in the world generally does maybe more what I do, but in the United States [it’s different].”
Kourtney shares son Rocky Thirteen, 18 months, with Barker and is mom to three kids whom she shares with ex Scott Disick — sons Mason, 15, and Reign, 10, as well as daughter Penelope, 12. Barker is dad to son Landon, 21, daughter Alabama, 19, and his stepdaughter Atiana, 25, all of whom he shares with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
