Christy Carlson Romano Thrives In Austin With Exciting April Adventures

Former Disney star Christy Carlson Romano is fully embracing her Austin life, taking to Instagram to share a vibrant recap of her April adventures in the Lone Star State.

Romano, known for her roles in “Even Stevens” and voicing “Kim Possible,” documented her first-ever crawfish boil experience, a quintessential Southern tradition. The actress also enjoyed boating at Penny Backer with friend Emily Wiley, showcasing Austin’s scenic waterways in several sun-soaked photos from their outing.

The Instagram carousel captures Romano in various settings around Austin, including enjoying local food favorites like Julio’s chips (which she notes with “IYKYK” – “If You Know You Know”), highlighting her integration into Texan culture.

Romano’s post revealed her professional endeavors as well, including her participation in a Limited Too summer campaign alongside friend Kate Steinberg. This collaboration marks a nostalgic return for Romano, who recently expressed excitement about the brand’s comeback in a previous post where she enthusiastically announced, “Limited Too is back!!!!!!”

The actress also attended Mack Jack McConaughey’s fashion show with her “Clarins USA squad,” showing her involvement in local fashion events. The Mack Jack & McConaughey charity event, founded by coach Mack Brown, country music artist Jack Ingram, and actor Matthew McConaughey, is a notable Austin fundraiser.

Romano mentioned celebrating a “second Easter” with friends, tagging Jackson Rathbone (known for his role in the “Twilight” saga) and Six and Boe, indicating her growing social circle in Austin. The actress also enjoyed an LCD Soundsystem concert at Emo’s, a popular Austin music venue, with her husband Brendan Rooney.

The post takes on deeper meaning when Romano references coming out of February “with a new zest for life,” suggesting personal challenges she’s overcome. This likely references a serious incident from February when Romano was accidentally shot in the face during a clay pigeon shooting outing for her husband’s birthday. In that earlier post, she revealed being hit in five places, with one fragment lodged behind her eye, writing that she “saw her life flash before her eyes.”

Her gratitude for both old and new friends who “help you get through the hard times” comes into sharper focus understanding this context. Romano, who turned 40 recently and celebrated with a Round Top, Texas shopping trip in March, appears to be fully embracing this new chapter.

“Thriving in ATX huni! I just don’t post in real time!” Romano wrote, explaining the delay in sharing her April experiences. She hinted at more activities planned for summer with friends and family, suggesting she’s settling well into Austin life.

The actress has been increasingly open about her personal life on social media, recently addressing online trolls who left cruel comments after her shooting accident. In a video post, she expressed shock at comments from “grown men” making inappropriate jokes about the incident.

Romano’s latest post reflects her resilience, with its overall tone of gratitude and enthusiasm. After a challenging February, she appears to be fully embracing Texas living and the community she’s building there.

The former child star, who has reinvented herself as a content creator with her own YouTube channel and podcast discussing her Disney experiences, continues to connect with fans through these authentic glimpses into her life. Her willingness to share both celebrations and challenges resonates with followers who have watched her evolve from child star to mother of two daughters and now, enthusiastic Austinite.
