*Mean Girls* is just one of the many films that Lacey Chabert is recognized for. While it seemed she was on a steady path, it appears that time has caught up with her.

Many young actresses she worked with in films have managed to stay in the spotlight, including Lindsay Lohan, who has remained well-known for various reasons despite her struggles.

Years have passed, and some might wonder why Lacey Chabert isn’t making headlines anymore. While it may seem like she has disappeared, she is actually doing quite well.

In September 2016, Lacey welcomed a daughter named Julia. Following her birth, the actress focused on preparing for motherhood and caring for her Chihuahua, Kitty.

Lacey had to reevaluate her life priorities, recognizing that being a young mother while working in the entertainment industry can be challenging. “I would have been surprised if you had told me two years ago that this is what my career would look like today, but it’s such a great fit for who I am and where I am in my life right now,” she said in 2018.

Despite her personal achievements, many still associate her with the mean teenage character from her films, leaving her somewhat stuck in the past. While her Hollywood peers have continued to advance, she has not progressed at the same pace.

It’s also important to note that many of her contemporaries made tens of millions in the same year she became a mother. Since *Mean Girls*, her film projects have slowed down, and it has been nearly a decade since she starred in a major film.

This doesn’t mean she isn’t successful, as her estimated net worth stands at $4 million. However, this seems modest compared to some of her peers.

Ultimately, she loves her small-town roots and takes pride in them, even though she enjoyed her time and the support she received while living in Hollywood. She also wishes to explore different aspects of the industry. While we may not have seen all that she can offer, it will be exciting to see her emerge as a rising star.
