Melissa Joan Hart and her son MasonMelissa Joan Hart is explaining it all about her son’s prom!
The Clarissa Explains It All alum, 48, shared a montage of her 18-year-old son Mason Walter’s prom experience and revealed the name of his date, which reminded her of her years starring in Sabrina the Teenage Witch from 1996 to 2003.
“Prom 2024 is in the books! Mason and his beautiful girlfriend Sabrina (yes that’s her name) had a lovely night celebrating the end of an era! #MasonDatesSabrina,” Hart captioned her Instagram and TikTok posts.
One Instagram follower immediately asked, “What we need to know…was she named after the show??”
The proud mother of three boys — Mason, Braydon Hart, 16, and Tucker McFadden, 11 — has yet to answer the question, but the coincidence is notably not lost on fans.
The actress has routinely been open about sharing milestones of her kids, whom she shares with longtime husband, Mark Wilkerson.
Four years ago, when she taught Mason how to drive before his driver’s test, she told PEOPLE she was “freaking out about” it.

“When they're little, it just seems like it's never going to end. The diapers and cleanups and the feeding them,” she added in the 2020 PEOPLE interview. “And now ... they say the bigger the kid, the bigger their problem is. It’s true. Now my kids are getting into dating and girls and school stuff, school drama, and wanting to be social and, ‘Mom, you're not cool.’ ”
One milestone Hart hasn’t reached yet is becoming a grandmother, although she recently played one in Lifetime’s Would You Kill for Me? The Mary Bailey Story.

Fans were surprised by Hart taking on the role in the TV movie. Responding to a headline that read, “Melissa Joan Hart Is Playing a Grandma in a Lifetime Movie & People Are NOT Okay,” she playfully addressed their concerns on Instagram.

“Let me explain...” Hart started her response to fans before her 48th birthday. “While I’m proud of my performance in my most recent movie #WouldYouKillForMe, I couldn’t be more flattered that people don’t think of me as a grandmother (no matter how possible it is at the age of 47)."
“It’s also refreshing to go viral for my work and not something controversial,” she continued. “I guess now Clarissa can Explain AARP or play the Middle-Aged Witch.”
