AceShowbiz - Congratulations are in order for Rider Strong and Alexandra Barreto. The "Boy Meet World" alum and his wife welcomed a bouncing baby boy on December 28. It's their first child together after they got married in October 2013.
Strong, 35, and Barreto, 39, met on set of their 2006 show "Pepper Dennis", which unfortunately ran only for one season. It's the first marriage for both of them. The new parents name the baby Indigo "Indy" Baretto Strong, E! News learns.
The couple was engaged in December 2012, around the same time his on-screen best friend Danielle Fishel announced her engagement to Tim Belusko. They also tied the knot at the same weekend. Strong got married in Oregon, while Fishel walked down the aisle in Los Angeles.
"Bad news: Danielle Fishel's getting married this same weekend, so I'm missing some of my Boy Meets World family (that was my fault, she chose the date first)," Strong said of the coincidental wedding double back then. "On the bright side, after I mentioned my new favorite band, Typhoon, on Twitter, they offered to come play at our wedding! So grateful."
