Latest News about Ben Savage
Savage reportedly refused to take part in Book Meets World: The Definitive Inside Story of the Hit Sitcom Boy Meets World, despite requests from its authors. Co-author Longeretta said he would not speak to her, and he has also declined to join his castmates' projects.
Savage shared Instagram photos of himself holding his seven-month-old daughter with his wife, Tessa Angermeier, captioned 'Good company.' The post came days after Will Friedle said he hoped to speak with Savage about his distance from the cast, and it was widely read as a pointed response.
The documentary Doc Meets World premiered in June 2026, revisiting the years-long estrangement between Ben Savage and his former Boy Meets World castmates. Co-stars Will Friedle and others showed unanswered messages sent to Savage over the years. Savage did not take part in the documentary or the cast's podcast.
