Hey there, fans of 'Will & Grace'! It's official—Grace Adler and her hilarious BFFs are back in action on NBC! The much-anticipated revival of 'Will & Grace' premiered on Thursday, September 28, and trust me, we couldn’t be more thrilled to have these iconic characters back in our lives. The reboot has reignited the magic that made this show a cultural phenomenon in the first place. If you're wondering what's happening with Grace’s storyline or what Debra Messing is up to now, you're in the right place. Let's dive in and get the scoop!
What Happened to Grace Adler in 'Will & Grace'?
Here's the deal: In the original series finale of 'Will & Grace,' Grace Adler—played by the incomparable Debra Messing—had a life-changing moment. After a whirlwind encounter with her estranged husband, Leo (Harry Connick Jr.), on a plane, Grace found herself unexpectedly pregnant. Fast forward, and Grace and Leo reunite, remarry, and welcome a beautiful daughter named Laila into their lives. The family even relocates to Italy for a while, but they eventually return to their beloved NYC. Here's where things get interesting: Through a series of time jumps, we learn that Grace and Will, her lifelong best friend, had fallen out of touch for two decades. Fatefully, they reunite at college when they discover their children, Laila and Will's son Ben, are roommates. In a heartwarming twist, Laila and Ben eventually tie the knot, bringing the story full circle.

Now, with the reboot, you might be wondering how Grace and Will’s families fit into the new storyline. Here's the scoop: they don’t. Surprisingly, the reboot kind of hits the reset button on the whole parenting thing. Executive producer and show creator David Kohan explained that when the decision was made to bring 'Will & Grace' back, they realized they had left the characters as parents in the series finale. But the team decided that if they were going to focus on Will and Grace as parents, it would change the essence of the show. They wanted to keep the focus on the dynamic between Will and Grace as best friends, not as parents. So, in a clever twist, Karen Walker (played by Megan Mullally) helps explain away the kids during the premiere. In a dream sequence, Karen humorously dismisses the whole parenting storyline, hilariously saying, "Nobody wants to see you two raise kids." Classic Karen!
Was Debra Messing Pregnant While Filming 'Will & Grace'?
Oh, absolutely! Debra Messing was actually pregnant during the filming of Season 6 of 'Will & Grace.' Her real-life pregnancy with her son, Roman Walker Zelman, added a unique twist to the show. Roman, now 13 years old, is the son of Debra and her ex-husband, Daniel Zelman. During her pregnancy, fans noticed that Grace, who usually sported chic, tight-fitting outfits, suddenly started wearing more loose clothing. Debra cleverly hid her baby bump by strategically holding objects in front of her. By the end of her pregnancy, Debra had to take a break from filming for the last four episodes of Season 6. It was a creative challenge, but the show managed to keep things rolling without missing a beat!
Is Debra Messing Pregnant Again?
Rumors have been floating around that Debra might be expecting again, but as far as we know, she's not pregnant this time around. These days, the Emmy-winning actress is all about balancing her busy acting career with being a dedicated mom to her son, Roman. Debra has openly shared her thoughts on motherhood, saying, "I never spend enough time with my son. Never. I always want more." So, how does she manage it all? Debra puts it simply: "I am a success when I feel like I have a balance of the things that are important to me. The times when I was not happy or not fulfilled were when I was neglecting certain parts of myself, whether it was neglecting to be a great mom or being completely there at work. It’s all about finding that balance." And let's face it, Debra's doing an amazing job at it!
