What actually happened to Jennifer Love Hewitt?
She has a face that is impossible to forget. From medium to masseuse, Jennifer Love Hewitt has proved that she can shine as any character. But what is she doing now?
The actress has been a little less on TV in past years because she is a super mom of three together with her husband, Brian Hallisay.
Here we see her in the series '9-1-1.'
In June 2021, Jennifer Love Hewitt announced that she was pregnant again. The star, who's in her forties, had her third child. The boy Aidan was born in August of that year.
There are a few family pictures shared by the actress on the social network, just a few selfies, motivational messages, comics, and some work.
We can also see her natural beauty, in images like this one, where Jennifer Love Hewitt appears without all that makeup of the red carpets or the set. The image is accompanied by a text about how getting older is strange and also normal, and that a balance is necessary to feel good.
During the pandemic, Jennifer Love Hewitt also shared with her followers her adventure in dyeing her hair pink at home. That was typical quarantine stuff!
But let's look at where she came from and how she rose to be a star. Check it out!
Jennifer Love Hewitt was born in Waco, Texas on February 21, 1979. At age 3, she had her first public performance, singing at a farm show in her town.
At the age of five, Jennifer was taking dance classes. By the time she was nine, the girl toured Europe with the Texas Show Team company.
As a child Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared in several television commercials. One of them was for the LA Gear sneakers brand. She worked with Michael Jackson for that commercial, and he even taught her a few dance steps.
The first big acting opportunity came when the actress was 10 years old. She joined the Disney Channel children's show 'Kids Incorporated' from 1989 to 1991.
In 1995, after playing a few film roles, Jennifer made her debut in the series 'Party of Five.' The series made her immensely popular on TV, just as it did for the co-stars Neve Campbell and Scott Wolf.
The actress was only supposed to play in nine episodes of the series' second season, but she was so popular among the makers and audience of 'Party of Five' that they wrote a longer story for her. Jennifer Love Hewitt ended up playing her role of Sarah Reeves Merrin until the final season.
In 1997, Jennifer Love Hewitt starred in the in the thriller "I Know What You Did Last Summer."
Jennifer Love Hewitt appeared in the thriller along with other young stars: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Cox Freddie Prinze Jr.
A year later, the actress reappeared as the same character in the film's sequel. Here you see her next to singer-actress Brandy, who was also in the sequel's cast. She wouldn't be in the third and final part, 'I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer' (2006).
In 2000, Jennifer produced and starred in the biographical movie 'The Audrey Hepburn Story.' Viewers were impressed by her physical resemblance to the famous film diva.
Cinema continued to work out well for the actress. In 2001, she played a con artist in the comedy 'Heartbreakers.' Sigourney Weaver, Gene Hackman, and Ray Liotta were also part of the cast.
In 2004, Jennifer Love Hewitt produced and starred in the romantic film 'If Only'. She also sang two songs for the movie's soundtrack.
Jennifer Love Hewitt had always worked as a singer and songwriter in addition to an actress. Before she appeared in the movies and series that would make her famous, Jennifer Love Hewitt had already recorded a CD.
She'd been 12 years old when a Japanese record company released her album 'Love Songs.' At the time, Jennifer Love Hewitt became a pop star in Japan, but the CD was not released in any other country.
Jennifer never abandoned music. She recorded three more albums and some singles for films. The title song from her fourth album, released in 2002, reached the top of the hit chart.
Jennifer Love Hewitt has been voted the most beautiful and attractive woman by several international publications.
She's always had many suitors. Actor Patrick Wilson was her boyfriend from 2001 to 2002.
Jennifer Love Hewitt found love again when she met Scottish actor Ross McCall. They got engaged but split up in 2008.
In 2010, the actress was spotted in public with Alex Beh. Both actors confirmed that they were getting to know each other.
In 2010, the actress published the book 'The Day I Shot Cupid: Hello, My Name Is Jennifer Love Hewitt and I'm a Love-aholic.' The book is autobiographic and details the actress' romantic experiences, problems, and advice for others about love and relationships.
By the time she published her book, Jennifer Love Hewitt had already left behind one of her best-known characters in television: Melinda Gordon of the series 'Ghost Whisperer' (2005-2010). The series revolves around a woman who can communicate with spirits and help them solve their old, earthly problems.
In the photo, Jennifer Love poses alongside key actors from the iconic series, including David Conrad, who plays Melinda's husband, and Aisha Tyler, who played the leading lady's partner.
Two years after the end of 'Ghost Whisperer,' Jennifer Love Hewitt starred in 'The Client List.' The FOX series had two seasons, airing in 2012 and 2013.
Jennifer Love Hewitt plays Riley Parks, a mother who, after being abandoned by her husband, starts working in a massage parlor. For the pilot episode, the actress got a Golden Globe nomination in the category 'Best Lead Actress in a Miniseries.'
After shooting 'The Client List' and having a few love adventures, Jennifer Love Hewitt finally had Cupid shoot the arrow at the right person. In 2013, she and actor Brian Hallisay got married. They had met in the series 'Love Bites' and then again in 'Client List' (image).
The actress was pregnant with their first child when they got engaged. In November of the same year a baby girl was born with the name of Autumn James Hallisay. In 2015, the couple had their second child: Atticus James Hallisay.
From 2014 to 2015, the actress appeared in the tenth season of the series 'Criminal Minds' as Special Agent Kate Callahan.
While taking care of her two young children, Jennifer Love Hewitt also appeared in a few episodes of the series 'New Girl' in 2016 and in 'Modern Family'. She kept a relatively low TV profile between 2015 and 2018, though.
The LA Times reported that it was "an intentional break motivated by the birth of her second child, Atticus ... and the enduring grief over the death of her mother in 2012." Jennifer Love Hewitt told the paper in 2018 that she'd suffered from anxiety since her mom passed away. "It’s still something that I deal with on a daily basis. I try not to give it to my kids. But yeah, it’s been really hard for me."
Since 2018, Jennifer Love Hewitt has been part of the cast of '9-1-1,' a police series on FOX. She plays Maddie, a 911 dispatcher and the sister of a firefighter.
In 2019, as the actress turned 40, she continued to act in '9-1-1,' but much of her time was also spent on her two children. Family life and a break from TV, she told the LA Times, "made everything that I do in my acting/entertainment life not less important but less like, 'It’s everything all the time,' like it used to be."
Jennifer Love Hewitt was a little insecure when she returned into the spotlights in 2018. After her first upfront photo shoot with FOX, she apologized on Instagram for her appearance. But she also wrote to change the narrative. "I don’t want my kid to Google me one day and see 'She looks terrible' or 'She has big b**** and she’s hot.' I don’t want that to be who I am."
As she told the LA Times: "I’m in a place where I was like, 'Can we change the narrative? Can we just be different?' Feel free to comment about me if you must, but also feel free to know other things about me."
