The actress, famous for various roles in Disney series and movies such as Wizards of Waverly Place, Good Luck, Charlie, and Lemonade Mouth, stepped away from the artist’s life when she decided to focus on her academic career, earning her Doctorate in Law from Harvard and Doctorate in Philosophy from MIT.

On her X profile (Twitter), she shared that she is now a co-founder and CEO of Northwood Space, a startup focused on “building a data highway between Earth and space.”

“We are designing shared terrestrial infrastructures from first principles to expand access to space,” she wrote, noting that the company has already received $6.3 million in funding from various high-level investors.

Additionally, Bridgit, married to Griffin Cleverly since 2019, also revealed she is now the mother of a boy. “The other news I would like to share is that I am the mother of a sweet 4-year-old boy,” she wrote in the caption of a photo of the two at the beach.



“I started taking care of him in 2021 and [he] was adopted near Christmas 2022. I am very lucky – being a mother is the greatest gift and the most impactful experience there is. That’s my news for now, folks,” she added.
