Lalaine Explains How That Magical 'Lizzie McGuire' Reunion Came To Be

The Truth About That 'Lizzie McGuire' Reunion, Revealed

Unless you've been living under a rock (and that rock doesn't have Wi-Fi), you've probably heard about the recent mini "Lizzie McGuire" reunion with Hilary Duff, Lalaine and Jake Thomas. If you did somehow miss it, just know their spontaneous meetup in a bowling alley was definitely what dreams are made of.

So how did this even happen?
I like to bowl. I have my own ball that my dude got me during Christmas, so we’re pretty into it. We started bowling and I swore I thought I heard [Hilary Duff]. Like her voice will never not be recognizable for me. I mean, c'mon, we were like family for how long? And then I looked, and it totally was her. We finally happened to be in the same place after 14 years. It was random and a little bit of fate maybe, so I forced fate's hand a little bit and I immediately hit up Jake [Thomas] because he's like less than a mile away from the bowling alley.

Oh cool, so you guys kept in touch?
Yeah, I have actually been very close with most of the people that were on the show. I was just on the phone with Adam [Lamberg] for example, so I just was like, "This is hilarious," so I hit Jake up, and I was like, "Yo, at Pins. Hilary's like four lanes down," and he was like, "Haha! Oh my God! Should I come there?" So he came on over, and then we were like, "Let’s make this even more hilarious and send her a drink." And we did. She waved to us, and she had no idea who we were because we were pretty far from her and it was dark.

But then she walked over and immediately saw me. As she was walking up, I’m just like, "Really, girl? Really?"... It hit her that it’s me. She turned around and was cracking up, and it didn't even faze her that Jake was standing right next to me. I was like, "Are you kidding me? Did you not see this thing right by me?" She was like double stumped ... It was just fate.

Wow, this is amazing. It's the best Instagram post I've ever seen.
Oh for sure, and Jake was just like, "I get dibs on putting this up first," and I was like, "I don’t care about that, dude." It’s probably been a couple years less for him, like, maybe it’s been 12 years for him since he’s seen her, but for me it’s been like 14 ... I was more on the fact that it was hilarious that all of us were here.

So was Gordo not invited because he hates bowling?
[Laughs] Oh my God! Adam would've totally been invited. Gordo may hate bowling, but who knows -- after 12 years he might've changed his mind.
