“I really had every intention of breastfeeding when we had Max, and then I quickly realized that I never produced enough milk,” she said. “I kind of drove myself crazy for a few weeks, trying to really force it, and then we went to formula and had to try out a bunch of different ones until we found the right fit.”

She has a few tattoos

O’Brien has at least two tattoos and has shared them both on her Instagram. In July 2019, she posted about her first tattoo, which is an homage to her son Max — shegot his nametattooed in all caps on her inner right forearm.

She’s friends with Miranda Cosgrove

“I’m really close friends with his wife, Paige. She’s the best,” the actress told PEOPLE in June 2022. “I love him and I feel really lucky that he’s a part of my life. He’s awesome.”

However, not all of theDrake & Joshcast members have remained as tight. After Bell was left off the guest list for Peck and O’Brien’s wedding, heexpressed his displeasure in a series of tweets, which led to a falling out between the former costars.

Peck later recalled the drama during a March 2022 podcast appearance, explaining that he didn’t invite Bell because they hadn’t spoken “in many, many years.”

Not only did Bell send Peck several text messages “cursing” and “coming” at him on the night of his wedding, he also took the issue public, which upset Peck for O’Brien’s sake.

“And here I am, I don’t care about me. It’s whatever. I signed up to be a public person, it is what it is. But here’s my wife, right, who’s getting torn down on the internet. I’m like, she’s private and she just got married. Can’t she just enjoy this?” Peck explained.

Peck later confronted Bell about his actions when they ran into each at the 2017 Video Music Awards.

She has an Instagram Story Highlight dedicated to capturing her renovation progress on the couple’s abode.
