"I was not born a princess" - Frankie Muniz's wife playfully accuses "Disney" of giving her "unrealistic expectations"
Paige Muniz, wife of NASCAR driver & actor Frankie Muniz, this week posted a funny jab at Disney for giving her false hope about her life, just because she was not born into the Disney equivalent of royalty. The former model took to her stories to voice her thoughts after seeing "someone she follows" attend a Yule Ball.
Muniz posted an Insatgram story of her looking dejected with the caption:
"When you're in your 30s and you saw someone you follow on instagram at a Yule Ball and you realize you've never been to a Yule Ball.. so you start to spiral and end up concluding: Disney is at fault for my unrealistic expectations simply because I was not born a princess."
Frankie Muniz, who has been announced to be racing full-time in the NASCAR Truck Series, will be in the #33 Ford for Reaume Brothers Racing next season. He was largely known for his roles in the "Agent: Cody Banks" films and "Malcolm in the Middle," a TV show, before he made a switch to racing. He got his start in 2006, when he raced in the Formula BMW USA Championship. From 2007-2009 he raced in the ChampCar Atlantic Championship, but had to step away from racing after a crash caused injuries that required surgeries.
Returning to the world of racing in 2023, Frankie Muniz finished fourth in the standings of that year's ARCA Menards Series driving for Rette Jones Racing. In 2024, the 39-year-old raced two NASCAR Xfinity Series races and two NASCAR Truck series races, with his best finish coming from the Truck series race in Kansas where he completed the race in 29th.
The #33 driver will join the 2025 Trucks series grid once it begins on February 14th with the Fresh from Florida 250 at the Daytona International Speedway.
Frankie Muniz returns to his iconic role on Disney+
While Frankie Muniz will return to racing in the NASCAR Truck Series next year, he also will be reprising his role as Malcolm in the recently announced reboot of the show "Malcolm in the Middle". Taking to Instagram to announce his return along with the show's, the actor/racer posted a video with fellow returning actors Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek, captioned:
OH MY GOSH! I'm so excited to announce that after 18 years, Malcolm in the Middle is returning with new episodes on @disneyplus! Get ready, we can't wait for everyone to see what Malcolm and his family have been up to! #MalcolmInTheMiddle
The show will have new episodes release on the streaming service Disney Plus, with an official premiere date yet to be announced.
