Keep reading this Chris Cosgrove Bio to learn more about Miranda’s mother.

Meet Chris Cosgrove, Miranda Cosgrove’s Mother

Miranda Cosgrove began her career in 2004 playing the evil younger sister, “Megan Parker,” on Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh. After the series ended in 2007, the actor went on to headline her own series called iCarly, where she played the role of “Carly Shay.”

iCarly ended in 2012. But the show was rebooted by Paramount Plus in 2021 and is now in its third season.

In the movie, Miranda’s character Carly has an interesting family relationship. She was essentially raised by her brother Spencer, while their father, a member of the Air Force, was stationed overseas (almost indefinitely). And their mother was mentioned!

But unlike the show, Miranda’s IRL mom, Chris Cosgrove, is always by her side.

“Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there! This is a photo of my mom and I from 1995! Thank you for always being by my side even when I’m in a bad mood,” the actor dedicated a post to his mother in 2018.

Likewise, in the following years, she rarely missed the opportunity to wish her mother on Mother’s Day.

Overall, Chris is more than just Miranda’s mother. She is also her “evening TV buddy” who lets her eat as much cake batter as she wants (even though you’re not allowed to do that because there’s raw eggs in it.) “She told me what to do even though I’m old and she’s always there when I’m sad,” the star added.

Back in August 2011, when Miranda was in a bus accident, her mother was by her side. It appears the duo were on a tour bus that crashed into a pickup truck that overturned and blocked the westbound lanes of Interstate 70 between St. Elmo and Brownstown.

After the accident, mother and child were taken to St. Anthony’s Memorial in Effingham.

Is Chris Cosgrove still married to Miranda Cosgrove’s dad?

Her husband Tom owns a dry cleaning business called Crestmont Dry Cleaners, located at 2255 Foothill Boulevard, La Canada Flintridge, California. He turns 71 in July 2022.

Tom, Chris and Miranda form a small, happy family of three people. In other words, Chris only has one child, Miranda.

Chris Cosgrove’s age

Chris Cosgrove turns 69 in 2023.

This means she got Miranda when she was 40 years old.

Who are Chris Cosgrove’s parents?

Chris Cosgrove was born to her parents, William Frank Casey and Lois Ann Core. Sadly, they both passed away after 60 years of marriage.

Her father William breathed his last on December 16, 2010. He was a 1951 graduate of Clovis High School and worked at Crowell’s Garage in Clovis, CA. He then served in the US Army in Korea from 1953 to 1956 and settled in Downey, CA, where he owned and operated Casey’s Auto Service in South Gate. His hobby is restoring old Mustangs and Honda Civics

As for her mother, Lois passed away on November 21, 2015, at the age of 83. She was a housewife for most of her life. And only after turning 40 did she work with the California Field Ironworkers as a medical claims department manager.

Talking about his siblings, Chris has two older brothers named William Casey Jr. and Robert Casey and a sister named Jean Casey.

Chris Cosgrove’s work

Chris Cosgrove is a homemaker. She devoted her whole life to taking care of her husband and their daughter, thanks to which Miranda has now become a star.

However, Chris was initially skeptical about letting his daughter join the entertainment industry at such a young age, but she gave in when she saw the opportunity to get money for college. “Our big plan when we decided to do this was to pay for college,” Chris told The New York Times.

Recalling the old days, Miranda also shared: “My mother had to work very hard to give in. I remember my mother asking: ‘Are you sure you want to do this? Are you sure you want to continue acting?’”

So when Miranda made her decision, Chris homeschooled her. This means that most of the actor’s time is spent with her parents. Apparently, she missed them a lot when she left home to study at the University of California. So, to cope, she divided her time between her home and her parents’ home.

“I feel like everyone wants to find a way to get out and be independent, but for me, it was like all of a sudden I had this place to come live and I was like, ‘Oh no,” she shares. ‘ My mother doesn’t wash my clothes and I have no one to watch TV with in the evening.”
