He’s also guested on a slew of TV shows, including Will and Grace, Murphy Brown, Weeds, House M.D., Wizards of Waverly Place and more. Sabara has also done extensive voice work on animated projects like Generator Rex, Gravity Falls and Ultimate Spider-Man.

How did Meghan Trainor meet her husband Daryl Sabara?
Trainor and Sabara’s paths first crossed in 2014 at an L.A. house party. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s Spy Kids,’” Trainor later recalled to PEOPLE. “I went up to him while he was getting a drink. I was like, ‘Are you Spy Kids?’ And he was like, ‘Yeah.’ And I thought that was so cool. And I told all my friends all night long, like, watch this guys, and I would yell, ‘Yo, what’s up Spy Kids?’ And he would go, ‘Yo, what’s up, Meghan?’ I called my entire family and was like, ‘I partied with Spy Kids last night.’” Sabara also remembered that night when a “really cute blonde, blue-eyed girl” came up to him. He admitted, “I couldn’t forget her.” Two years later, actress Chloë Grace Moretz played matchmaker for her friends. “I asked every person I met since day one, ‘Find me a boyfriend!’ Like, especially new friends too. Chloë Grace Moretz is a friend of mine, and day one of meeting her, I was like, ‘You know anybody that I could date? Or love? Whatever,’” Trainor previously revealed on Chelsea Handler’s Netflix show (via PEOPLE). “And she’s like, ‘I know the nicest guy in the world, Daryl, and you should meet him.’ I was like, ‘Daryl? Okay.’” For Sabara, it was love at first sight. “It all happened when you first walked in the room on that double date and it was this ease just came over me, like there she is,” he confessed (via PEOPLE) in 2020 on Apple Music Hits’ Dirty Radio with Meghan Trainor. “I never knew that I would get married and then when I saw you, it just flashed before my eyes.”
