Raegan Revord’s Transformative Year: Actor, Author, and Authentic Self

A Milestone Announcement

Young Sheldon star Raegan Revord has recently come out as non-binary at age 17. The actor, known for portraying Melissa Cooper in the CBS prequel sitcom, shared their journey in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, expressing how seeing other non-binary and queer celebrities helped them see themselves represented.

Expanding Creative Horizons

Revord has been making waves in multiple creative fields. Beyond their acting career, they’ve recently published their debut YA novel ‘Rules For Fake Girlfriends’ on September 2. The book follows the story of Avery Blackwell, who embarks on a journey to her late mother’s alma mater in Brighton, England, to complete a mysterious scavenger hunt.

In an unexpected revelation, Revord has also been secretly building a presence in the gaming community, streaming games like Minecraft and Stardew Valley. Their gaming channel, which previously had a modest following, experienced explosive growth, gaining 30,000 followers overnight after revealing their identity.

Continued Television Presence

As Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage returns for its second season in 2025, Revord continues their involvement in the show. While there’s speculation about potential character returns, including Iain Armitage’s Sheldon Cooper, Revord has expressed uncertainty about such possibilities.

Literary Aspirations

Looking ahead, Revord is already working on their second book, a fantasy novel they began writing before their debut. Their commitment to literature extends beyond writing, as they run a successful book club called ‘Read With Raegan’ on Instagram, which has attracted over 63,000 followers.
