Bridgit Mendler, known for her role in Good Luck Charlie, recently made two major life announcements. The 31-year-old star shared on social media that she has become a mother after adopting a 4-year-old son. Mendler expressed her joy at becoming a parent, emphasizing it as a significant and defining experience in her life.
On the same day, Mendler revealed her new role as the CEO of Northwood Space, a startup focused on creating a 'data highway between earth and space.' The company, which has already secured $6.3 million in funding, aims to develop shared ground infrastructure to enhance access to space.
Mendler explained that the idea for Northwood Space stemmed from her experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, where she and her family engaged in building antennas and receiving data from NOAA satellites. Her husband, Griffin Cleverly, will join the startup as the chief technology officer.
Reflecting on their wedding in 2019, Mendler described it as a magical moment with a beautiful sunset backdrop and a stranger building a sandcastle nearby. The couple tied the knot in October 2019, and Mendler expressed gratitude for the special memories from their wedding day.
