Daryl Sabara is shutting down rumors of tension involving his wife, Meghan Trainor, following Ashley Tisdale’s viral essay about leaving a “toxic” mom friend group. Speaking to TMZ, Sabara insisted that there is no conflict on their end, despite online speculation linking Trainor to the unnamed group referenced in Tisdale’s recent piece for The Cut.
“No drama over here,” Sabara said. “Just trying to keep the kids happy.”
Addressing the Viral Fallout
Sabara, 33, added that he hopes Tisdale is doing well after her essay ignited widespread discussion across social media. “I don’t really know what’s going on,” he said, “but I hope she’s okay.” Trainor and Sabara share two sons — Riley, 4½, and Barry, 2 — and Sabara emphasized that their focus remains firmly on family life rather than internet speculation.
Meghan Trainor Reacts Online
While Sabara downplayed the situation, Trainor addressed the controversy in her own way. On January 8, she posted a TikTok video reacting to what she described as “apparent mom group drama.” The clip showed Trainor sitting at her computer, looking surprised as she scrolled, set to her upcoming single “Still Don’t Care” from her album Toy with Me, due out April 24.
“#stilldontcare,” Trainor captioned the video, signaling a lighthearted — and dismissive — response to the chatter.
What Ashley Tisdale Wrote
Tisdale, 40, first shared her story in a personal blog post in November 2025, which was later published in The Cut on January 1. In the essay, she described stepping away from a mom friend group after feeling excluded and emotionally sidelined. She wrote that the experience made her feel as though she had returned to “high school dynamics,” explaining that invitations dwindled and that she was left out of events — including one organized during her daughter’s birthday celebration. Although Tisdale did not name anyone in the essay, readers quickly speculated about the identities of the women involved, pointing to past social media photos showing her with other celebrity moms.
Internet Speculation Intensifies
Fans online linked the essay to a circle that included Meghan Trainor, Hilary Duff, and Mandy Moore, among others. None of the women directly named in the speculation have publicly addressed the claims. However, Duff’s husband, Matthew Koma, appeared to mock the situation on Instagram Stories by posting a satirical image styled like The Cut, fueling further discussion.
A ‘Misalignment of Values’
Amid the online backlash, a source close to the group told PEOPLE that the situation stemmed from a “misalignment of values,” adding that friendships naturally change over time.
“Friends drift apart,” the source said. “It didn’t warrant a dramatic breakup text.”
Where Things Stand Now
For Sabara and Trainor, the message is clear: they are not engaging in the drama. As speculation continues to swirl, Sabara’s comments suggest that, at least on their side, there’s no feud — just a family choosing to stay out of the spotlight.
