American actress and singer Jennifer Love Hewitt got her start in national TV advertisements as a young child before starring in Kids Incorporated on the Disney Channel from 1989 to 1991. Her roles in the horror thrillers I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and its follow-up, as well as the adolescent comedy, Can’t Hardly Wait (1998), helped her become well-known while she was a teenager.
Hewitt has starred in a number of prominent films, including Heartbreakers (2001) and The Tuxedo (2002), as well as the supernatural dramas Ghost Whisperer (CBS) (2005–2010), The Client List (Lifetime) (2012–2013), and 9-1-1 (Fox) (since 2018). Along with four studio albums, she has been on lists of the most attractive women in many publications.
Patricia Mae and Herbert Daniel Hewitt welcomed Jennifer into the world in Waco, Texas. She has familial links to several areas of Arkansas and was raised in Nolanville, Central Texas. After their parents’ divorce, Hewitt and her brother Todd were raised by their mother. As a young child, Hewitt became passionate about music, which prompted her to work in the entertainment business for the first time. After winning “Texas Our Little Miss Talent Winner,” she relocated to Los Angeles at the age of 10 to pursue acting and singing opportunities.
In Los Angeles, Jennifer began her acting career by appearing in TV advertisements, some of which included Mattel toys. She made her feature picture debut in Munchie after receiving her first significant break as a young performer on the Disney Channel’s Kids Incorporated. Hewitt then played the lead in Little Miss Millions and the NBC pilot Running Wilde. After being cast as Sarah Reeves Merrin in the well-known Fox series Party of Five, she soon became a teen idol and received nominations for the Kids’ Choice, Teen Choice, and YoungStar Awards.
In the 2000 biographical drama TV film The Audrey Hepburn Story, Jennifer starred as the lead and also served as an executive producer. She was recommended for the role by director Steven Robman, who had directed her in Party of Five. The film drew mixed reviews, with Entertainment Weekly praising Hewitt’s performance, while The Baltimore Sun criticized her lack of physical grace. In Heartbreakers (2001), a romantic comedy, Hewitt played a con artist alongside Sigourney Weaver. While the film made a moderate $57.7 million worldwide, Hewitt’s performance received criticism for lacking the necessary duplicity for her character.
Jennifer Love Hewitt balances spending quality time with her husband, actor Brian Hallisay, and their three children with her work as Maddie Buckley in Fox’s 9-1-1. According to reports, the pair first linked on the NBC series Love Bites, but romance didn’t take off until they crossed paths again in 2012 on the set of The Client List.
hey announced Jennifer’s pregnancy and engagement in 2013. In November, they were wed in a small ceremony, and Autumn, their first child, was born soon after. Atticus and Aiden, two sons, were later born to them. Jennifer values every second spent with her family and believes that they have improved her as an actor.
Jennifer’s absence from 9-1-1 sparked rumours that she was pregnant again in 2023, but it turns out she is not. She had previously announced her pregnancy in May 2021 but had not yet revealed it when her character on the show became pregnant. Hewitt expressed her happiness about having another child, saying that it was a pleasant surprise and that she was grateful to be able to do it all again.
