Boy Mom Melissa Joan Hart & Her Two Sons Took ‘Cold Plunging to the Next Level' in Rare Family Photo
When Melissa Joan Hart and her kids go on vacation, they do some pretty cosmic things together. While it wasn't a full family trip, it was one we're sure they won't forget: especially since they decided to do something rather daring together. On May 30, the Sabrina the Teenage Witch star shared a sweet vacay photo on her Instagram with the caption reading, 'Taking cold plunging to the next level! #Laketahoe.' More from SheKnows Wayne Gretzky's Daughter Paulina Solidifies Style Icon Status With a Springtime Version of an LBD In the photo, we see Hart in a one-piece with two of her sons, all of whom are in Lake Tahoe. Fun fact: Lake Tahoe has famously cold waters, making it a go-to for cold plunge therapy. Per Mayo Clinic, cold plunge therapy is when you submerge yourself in cold water for a few minutes to help reduce inflammation, boost mood, and improve circulation. The family that cold plunges together, stays together. That's how that goes, right? For those who don't know, Hart and musician Mark Wilkerson married in 2003 after one year of dating. They later welcomed three sons named: Mason, born in Jan 2006, Braydon, born in March 2008, and Tucker, born in Sept 2012. In a previous chat with SheKnows at the Variety Power of Women in 2024, she spoke about being a mom to three boys. 'Three boys can be a little overwhelming…There are some tough moments, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world because it's the greatest job I've ever had,' she said to of SheKnows 19 Celebrity Parents With Trans & Nonbinary Kids 20 of Serena Williams' Most Adorable Motherhood Moments 30+ Baby Names With Ivy League Vibes — No Degree Required
