The actress best known for playing Summer Wheatley in the 2004 comedy hit Napoleon Dynamite has certainly made her mark in Hollywood. She later appeared in beloved TV movies like Love Takes Wing and Love Finds a Home, showcasing her range beyond the big screen. Alongside her younger sister Hilary, she not only released the fun 2004 single “Our Lips Are Sealed” but also co-starred with her in the 2006 teen comedy Material Girls, proving their on-screen chemistry was just as strong as their real-life bond.
Before fame came knocking, this talented actress got her start at just ten years old, landing a role in the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company’s production of The Nutcracker—a sign of things to come. In her personal life, she dated Brody Jenner back in 2007, which brought her even more attention. Then, in 2014, she shared exciting news: her engagement to Matt Rosenberg. The couple welcomed their first daughter, Ryan, in 2015, and then expanded their family with another beautiful daughter, Lulu, in 2018.
Throughout her journey, the actress has balanced her career and family life with grace. Her story—from early dance performances to film roles and motherhood—reflects a life full of passion and purpose. And as fans continue to follow her path, one thing remains clear: her impact, both on and off screen, continues to grow.
She made a few appearances—specifically in three episodes—of the beloved Disney series Lizzie McGuire, where her sister Hilary took on the lead role. It was pretty cool to see her pop up on screen alongside Hilary, adding a real-life sibling dynamic to the show. Her presence definitely brought an extra layer of charm to the series, especially for fans who knew the connection between the two sisters. Overall, she left a small but memorable mark during her time on Lizzie McGuire.
