Ben Savage & Tessa Angermeier’s Relationship Timeline
This baby news ain’t just out of nowhere—Ben and Tessa have been rocking with each other for a minute. The pair began dating back in 2018, and after five years of love and growth, they got engaged in January 2023. Just two months later, they made it official with a low-key wedding ceremony in March of that year.
Ben’s always been private with his love life, so this open celebration of a new chapter is hitting fans right in the feels. From longtime followers of his career to millennials who grew up watching his character navigate love and life, this moment feels like a full-circle blessing.
Tessa, an artist and producer, has been a steady presence by Ben’s side—always lowkey but clearly supportive of his work and growth outside of the Hollywood spotlight.
Why Ben Savage Was a 90s Icon
If you were outside in the 90s, you already know “Boy Meets World” was that show. Airing from 1993 to 2000, it followed Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) through the highs and lows of childhood, friendship, and love. From dealing with middle school bullies to navigating life lessons with Mr. Feeny, Cory was the everykid, and we all felt like we grew up with him.
Ben wasn’t just acting—he was creating culture. The show became a staple in households across America, and Cory and Topanga’s relationship set the bar for young love on screen. That’s why when this baby news dropped, it felt like family. It’s like seeing your cousin from the block win big in real life.
After “Boy Meets World,” Ben popped up here and there in guest roles and indie projects. In 2014, he even returned to the screen for “Girl Meets World,” a spinoff that followed his character and Topanga as adults raising their own daughter. Now, off-screen, Ben’s stepping into that dad life for real, and the culture is cheering him on.
