Shawn girlfriend in boy meets world

Shawn and Angela broke up in Boy Meets World, leaving viewers to wonder why their relationship failed. Early on in Boy Meets World, it was clear that Cory and Topanga were destined to be the signature couple to emerge from the show.

Sure enough, they eventually got married and had kids, with daughter Riley becoming the star of the sequel show Girl Meets World. However, Shawn and Angela were the most dramatically interesting pairing on Boy Meets World.

Shawn (played on the show by Rider Strong) had cultivated a rep as a bit of a bad boy, someone who tended to do well with girls and was all too happy to have brief flings.

Then came Angela (Trina McGee), who was a smart and confident addition to the Boy Meets World cast of characters and had no time for Shawn's womanizing tendencies. She insisted on the two of them being equals if they were going to have a relationship.
