Who Are Miranda Cosgrove’s Parents? Meet Tom and Chris

In 2004, Miranda Cosgrove starred as the diabolical younger sister Megan Parker on Nickelodeon’s Drake and Josh, where she pulled some pretty impressive stunts on her brother and stepbrother, or as she liked to call them, “boobs.”

When the series ended in 2007, it was clear that Miranda was just getting started in her career. She went on to headline her own series dubbed iCarly, where she played Carly Shay, a teenager who created and hosts her own web show of the same name. The show ended in 2012, but in 2021 Paramount Plus released a reboot of the series, which is now in its third season.

In the show, Miranda’s character Carly has an interesting familial arrangement. She lives with and was basically raised by her older brother Spencer, while their father, a member of the Air Force, is stationed overseas almost indefinitely. Their mother has never been mentioned.

Just like we hardly ever hear about Carly’s television parents, we don’t hear a lot about Miranda’s real-life parents. So, what does Miranda’s family look like? Here’s what we know.

Miranda is the daughter of Tom Cosgrove and Christina Cosgrove ( née Christina Casey). There is very little information available on Miranda’s parents, but according to The Netline, her dad owns a dry-cleaning business and her mom Christina — often referred to as Chris for short— is a homemaker.

Miranda is not believed to have any siblings.

She was raised in Los Angeles and received her fast pass to fame after an agent spotted her having fun with her parents at a food festival and approached them.
