Meet Riley Sabara: Everything About Meghan Trainor’s Son

Riley Sabara is the son of Grammy-winning musician Meghan Trainor and actor Daryl Sabara. The Made You Look singer and the Spy Kids star got engaged in 2017.

Meghan and Daryl tied the knot on December 22, 2018, which was also Trainor’s 25th birthday. In 2020, the Don’t I Make It Look Easy singer announced on The Today Show that she and her husband Sabara were expecting their first child together.

Later that month, on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Trainor revealed that she was having a baby boy. Meghan gave birth to their first child, Riley, in February 2021. Read on to know more about Riley.

How old is Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara’s son Riley?

For those unaware, Riley Sabara is the son of musician Meghan Trainor and actor Daryl Sabara. He was born on February 8, 2021, and is currently 1 year old.

Meghan shared the good news with her fans a couple of days later, announcing Riley’s arrival on Instagram on Valentine’s Day.

“This sweet baby boy’s due date was today on Valentine’s Day💝 We got to meet him Monday, Feb 8th! We are SO IN LOVE🥰😭 Thank you @darylsabara for the best Valentine’s gift ever! Welcome to the world Riley!” she wrote alongside a slideshow of pictures.

What did Meghan Trainor have to say about her son’s journey into the world?

In a 2021 media interaction, the Just a Friend to You singer shared that her son’s journey into the world wasn’t easy due to her gestational diabetes diagnosis during pregnancy.

During a March 2021 interview with Ryan Seacrest, Meghan said, “I’m like, ‘I’m sorry, man! I ate such crap in the first few trimesters.’ And they’re like, ‘It’s not you. It’s nothing you ate. It’s in your genetics.’ And I’m like, ‘OK,’ because my mom did have it too.”

Later in the same month, on the Today show, Trainor stated that she was “pay[ing] attention” to her diet while pregnant. She added, “It’s nice to learn so much about food and health, and [it’s] nice to hear that so many women experience this.”

Riley’s birth was terrifying for Meghan and her husband Daryl Sabara

A few months after Riley’s birth, Meghan disclosed that the experience was quite terrifying. During a June 2021 interview on the Today show, she revealed that Riley’s birth was challenging because he was breech, requiring a cesarean section.

Trainor said, “It was one of those horror stories where he didn’t cry. He didn’t make noise when he came out. I was like, ‘Why isn’t he crying?’ Then they told me he was having breathing issues.”

The Like I’m Gonna Lose You singer and the Wizards of Waverly Place actor only got to see their baby boy “for one second before” he had to be taken away, which was “the worst part” of the delivery experience.

Meghan said, “It was definitely a rough start. But we’re so lucky we got to bring him home after five days.” Since their son’s arrival, they keep sharing photos and videos of Riley on Instagram.

Meghan Trainor shared a heartfelt post on Riley’s first birthday

In February, Meghan and Daryl’s son Riley turned one year old. To mark the occasion, Meghan posted a sweet tribute on Instagram. She shared a series of pictures of their family of three.

Meghan captioned the photo series, “Happy birthday Riley! You are my everything! I love you to the moon and back. Best year of my life😭🥰🎂1️⃣.” She also tagged her husband Daryl in the Instagram post.

In the photos, Riley is seen sitting in a high chair with a decorated cake, surrounded by balloons. Another photo showed the proud parents smiling and kissing Riley on the cheek.

In one of the pictures, Riley rubbed icing onto Meghan’s face. At that time, Trainor posted a photo of Riley with a very unimpressed expression as he sat in front of his birthday cake on her Instagram Story. The mom captioned the photo, “When you finally get to eat cake but it’s sugar-free.”

How has motherhood impacted Meghan and her career?

In her March cover story for Parents, the Watch Me Do singer discussed how motherhood has impacted her musical career and her mental and physical health.

Trainor said, “I think when you have a kid you just realize, ‘Wow, life is beautiful and precious. I want to be the best for my kid.’ I’ve never been more motivated.”

Meghan also mentioned that her “lyrics are changing” as a new mom. Talking about her new music, she said, “It feels like I’m telling my truth.”
