Lacey Chabert is an American actress. She became a household name when she was cast as Claudio Salinger on the Fox drama "Party of Five" at age 11. The show ran for six seasons, winning a Golden Globe for Best Drama in 1996. While on the show, she expanded into voice acting with "The Wild Thornberrys." She received a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2000. She also voiced Vitani in "The Lion King II: Simba's Pride." She also voiced characters in video games such as the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

Her film breakthrough was as Gretchen Wieners, the gossipy member of the Plastics in "Mean Girls," a box office hit written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsey Lohan. Chabert's foray into film would divert to being a Hallmark staple, beginning with 2010's "Elevator Girl" and starring in more than 30 films by 2025, including "The Crossword Mysteries," "Christmas Waltz," and "The Wedding Veil" trilogy. She was unofficially dubbed the "Queen of Hallmark" and filmed up to three-holiday movies a year. Her 2024 Netflix film "Hot Frosty" was a hit for the streamer, hitting the top spot on most watched films.

Chabert wed David Nehdar, a businessman, on December 22, 2013, in Los Angeles. The couple kept their relationship private, with Chabert announcing the marriage a month later on Twitter. They've been together since, raising their daughter, Julia Mimi Bella Nehdar, born September 1, 2016.

In 2016, Chabert authored a blog series for People magazine's website, documenting her journey to motherhood. Chabert shared her experiences of discovering her pregnancy, learning she was expecting a girl, and finding creative ways to conceal her baby bump on film sets.

In September 2022, she launched the Lacey Chabert Collection, her own apparel line in collaboration with HSN. In an InStyle interview, Chabert expressed that having a clothing line had always been a dream. The collection features jackets, joggers, leggings, socks, "Mommy & Me" dresses, and cardigans. Her first ready-to-wear collection for HSN debuted in March 2024.

Is Lacey Chabert religious?

Chabert was raised in a Christian household, where attending church was part of her upbringing. In a 2018 interview with Southern Living, she reflected on her roots, mentioning how "faith and family" were central to her childhood. She didn't elaborate on specifics like denomination—likely Baptist or non-denominational. She's hinted at this in other casual remarks, like a 2022 Woman's Day piece where she described holiday traditions, noting, "Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Jesus."

Her most direct references to God come through social media, especially during personal highs and lows. After her sister Wendy's death in November 2023, Chabert posted an Instagram tribute quoting Psalm 46:10: "Be still, and know that I am God." She paired it with a caption about finding peace amid grief, writing, "Our hearts are shattered… I'm leaning on faith to get through this."

During a 2016 People interview about her daughter Julia's birth, she said, "I feel so blessed by God to have this beautiful little girl," framing it as a divine gift. Similarly, on Instagram for Julia's 2021 birthday, she wrote, "Thanking God every day for you," a recurring theme of seeing blessings as God-given.

Chabert's Hallmark movies often carry subtle Christian undertones—prayers before meals, church settings in Christmas plots—but she's never said these reflect her own views explicitly. In a 2020 Good Housekeeping chat, she described her holiday films as "about love, hope, and faith." In a 2019 Us Weekly interview, she said, "I try to live with kindness and grace," which could have been inspired by a faith context.
