\nJennifer Love Hewitt has it all. Over the course of her career, she has become the resident triple – well, quintuple – threat in the world of show business, and she has worked as an actress, singer, songwriter, director, and producer. While it may seem as though she can do no wrong, it\u2019s fair to say that Jennifer Love Hewitt has been gone through one incredible transformation since making her debut in 1989.
\nShe has had her ups, she has had her downs, her appearance has changed dramatically, and she is no longer the woman we knew and loved all those years ago. Don\u2019t believe us? This is the incredible journey of Jennifer Love Hewitt.
\n[post_page_title]An epic transformation[\/post_page_title]
\nJennifer Love Hewitt is one of those women that\u2019s just good at everything. While many would normally find this irritating, it seems as though Jennifer just can\u2019t do anything to get on her fans’ bad side.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113056\/yO9Gm2S.jpg\")
\nThis actress, singer, songwriter, director, and producer is still one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood after making her debut in 1989 – and it\u2019s fair to say that she\u2019s still as relevant as ever. However, that\u2019s not to say that she\u2019s the same woman she was all of those years ago, because Jennifer has since embarked on an epic transformation.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Where it all began[\/post_page_title]
\nHowever, to truly understand her transformation, we need to know a little more about the actress and where she came from. Jennifer Love Hewitt was born in 1979, to Patricia Mae Hewitt and Herbert Daniel Hewitt.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113056\/10-vpfmk62.jpg\")
\nShe spent most of her early life moving around the State of Texas, where she lived in both Waco and Nolanville. Although Jennifer\u2019s parents had no ties to the performing arts world, the youngster was immediately drawn to the spotlight. She loved music, and she loved being the center of attention.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Her singing debut[\/post_page_title]
\nIn fact, Jennifer made her singing debut when she was just three years old. While attending a livestock show in the local area, Jennifer decided to get up on stage and entertain those in attendance with her very own rendition of George Benson\u2019s \u201cThe Greatest Love of All.\u201d
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113056\/19B5HTm.jpg\")
\nHowever, that wasn\u2019t the end of her singing career in Texas. Just one year later, Jennifer dusted off her vocal chords once more to perform at the local restaurant-dance hall. During this performance, she sang \u201cHelp Me Make it Through the Night.\u201d
\n
\n[post_page_title]A little dancer[\/post_page_title]
\nAs Jennifer continued to show off her singing prowess, her parents decided that it was time to give her a brand new opportunity to show off her talent. When she was just five years old, her parents asked her if she wanted to take dancing lessons.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113057\/JBvhwod.jpg\")
\nOf course, Jennifer eagerly agreed, and began her ballet and tap dancing journey. After just a few years, she had proven herself to be a valuable asset to the dance community, and she was offered the chance to perform as part of the Texas Show Team.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Little Miss Talent[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough she was still incredibly young, Jennifer Love Hewitt had built up a reputation for herself in Texas, and people across the State knew her name and the fact that she was a born performer.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113058\/nBQ97Eq.jpg\")
\nBecause of this, it was no surprise to her friends and family when she took part in a local pageant. After out-performing her competitors and winning a trophy, Jennifer took home the title of \u201cTexas Our Little Miss Talent.\u201d Little did she know that there were people in attendance that day who would change her life\u2026
\n
\n[post_page_title]A move to LA[\/post_page_title]
\nJennifer didn\u2019t know it as she took to the stage, but talent scouts were watching her performance in the pageant. They knew immediately that Jennifer was destined to be a star, and they decided to give Jennifer\u2019s mom a piece of advice.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113058\/jennifer-love-hewitt-1522457537.jpg\")
\nThey knew that she would be able to make it in the world of show business, but they also knew that she wouldn\u2019t be able to make it in Texas. Therefore, they advised Jennifer and her family to pack their bags and move to Los Angeles so Jennifer could really have a go at the big time.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A commercial kid[\/post_page_title]
\nLike many child stars trying to break into the world of show business, Jennifer Love Hewitt kickstarted her career by getting booked for commercials. After just a few months of living in the City of Angels, she had been cast in countless television commercials and was soon making a name for herself.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113059\/FBKkPvZ.jpg\")
\nHowever, her true breakout role came in 1989 when she was given the chance to take on a brand new role as Robin in the Disney Channel television show, Kids Incorporated. Jennifer worked on the show for three years and appeared in 14 episodes.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A television star[\/post_page_title]
\nBefore too long, Jennifer had become a television star, and her reputation began to precede her. After her first initial stint on Kids Incorporated, Jennifer got the chance to continue her television career, and she worked on shows such as Running Wilde, Shaky Ground, McKenna, Byrds of Paradise and plenty more.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113059\/0998645600e7c23a5a63af68adb0ac69.jpg\")
\nHowever, it wasn\u2019t long before she was asked to take on her first feature film. This role came in the form of the 1992 indie movie, Munchie. Just one year later, she landed herself similarly small roles in Little Miss Millions and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A singing sensation[\/post_page_title]
\nHowever, it seems as though Jennifer didn\u2019t want to put another of her talents to waste. When she was just 12 years old, the famous singer Martika decided to give the young singer a chance. She gave Jennifer the money to create her debut album – and she worked tirelessly in the studio to produce her 1992 album, Love Songs.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113100\/8c029b316c2c1230c9af834970a75fa1.jpg\")
\nHer agent decided to solely market the album in Japan, and it was an immediate success. Japanese fans loved her beautiful young look, her angelic voice, and her adorable love songs.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Party of Five[\/post_page_title]
\nAfter a string of successful but small television roles, Jennifer Love Hewitt finally got the chance to show the world what she was made of when she was cast in the teen drama, Party of Five. The actress and singer joined the cast as Sarah Reeves Merrin in season two, and she soon became a hugely popular character.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113100\/foto-zvezd_fotosessiya-roberta-erdmanna-robert-erdmann_6.jpeg\")
\nShe worked on the show for a whopping four years and even got the chance to reprise her character and work as a co-producer for the spinoff show, Time Of Your Life.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A recording contract[\/post_page_title]
\nWhile working on the set of Party of Five, Jennifer was given a new opportunity she just couldn\u2019t refuse. Atlantic Records wanted to sign her as their latest recording artist, and she immediately accepted their offer. Within their record label, Jennifer was able to release two more albums.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113101\/Jennifer%2BLove%2BHewitt%2BParty%2BFive%2Banniversary%2BQIxeXLPazJZl.jpg\")
\nWhile they weren\u2019t a complete flop, her music career wasn\u2019t quite as successful as her acting career. So, she decided to focus on maintaining her place within the show and her plan to take over the world of Hollywood. After all, she was doing pretty well.
\n
\n[post_page_title]I Know What You Did Last Summer[\/post_page_title]
\nAlthough Jennifer Love Hewitt was incredibly happy with where her life had taken her, she had no idea that she was going to become even more successful. In 1997, she was offered the chance to take on a role that would rocket her career into the world of superstardom, and she eagerly accepted.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113101\/MV5BNGFmN2E3ZDgtNTNjZC00MzJiLTljMzktNWVkMjBmNjU3YzE2L2ltYWdlL2ltYWdlXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNDc5MTg0MjM%40._V1_.jpg\")
\nAs the lead character in the cult classic teen movie, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Jennifer Love Hewitt became an overnight sensation. She, alongside cast members that included Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., and Ryan Phillippe, had made it.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A roaring success[\/post_page_title]
\nI Know What You Did Last Summer was such a roaring success that it amassed a hefty fortune in the box office. The movie made a whopping $125 million in the box office and even spurned a sequel.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113101\/jennifer-love-hewitt-6.jpg\")
\nWhile this sequel was not quite as successful as the first movie, this wasn\u2019t an issue for Jennifer Love Hewitt. She had already dipped her toe into the Hollywood stream, and she was not getting out anytime soon. In fact, fans had fallen in love with her beauty and her talent.
\n
\n[post_page_title]The year 2000[\/post_page_title]
\nIt seems as though Jennifer reached her peak in the year 2000. After a string of successful movie and television roles, she had made a name for herself in the world of show business, and producers were waiting in line to work with her.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113102\/Jennifer-Love-Hewitt-4.jpg\")
\nIn fact, she was voted the \u201cmost popular actress on television\u201d for the year 2000 as a whole, and this lead to countless endorsement deals and spokeswoman opportunities. She was quickly becoming a part of popular culture, and the fans at home were lapping her up.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Music and movies[\/post_page_title]
\nAs she got older, Jennifer learned to merge her music career and her acting career together. She provided a song for the soundtrack of I Know What You Did Last Summer, and she even wrote and performed a song for her voice role in the Disney animated movie, The Hunchback of Notre Dame II.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113102\/AenhxJX.jpg\")
\nShe had finally learned how to mesh two of her favorite loves together into one impressive career, and it\u2019s safe to say that her fans were falling more and more in love with her by the day. She had it all.
\n
\n[post_page_title]A pin-up star[\/post_page_title]
\nThe more Jennifer Love Hewitt made her way into the spotlight and showed off her talent; the more people began to realize that she quickly becoming one of the most popular women in Hollywood.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113103\/0b23930085970a731cd186eafa3e43bb.jpg\")
\nAs her movie credits piled up and her fame grew, she was asked to pose for photo shoots and magazine covers. Everyone wanted a piece of her, and we soon got to know more about the actress and singer. We learned that she was not only incredibly talented, but she was also incredibly beautiful with an incredibly slim physique.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Weight struggles[\/post_page_title]
\nOver the course of her career, Jennifer Love Hewitt has maintained a physique that has made many fans jealous. She has always been slim and athletic, and she has rarely had any struggles with her weight.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113103\/jennifer_love_hewitt.jpg\")
\nBecause of this, fans are often concerned when their favorite celebrity is caught with a few extra pounds on her body. In 2007, newspapers across the world had a field day when paparazzi shots caught Jennifer on vacation in Hawaii. This was a far cry from the Jennifer they all knew and loved, and she looked rather different.
\n
\n[post_page_title]New relationships[\/post_page_title]
\nLike many other celebs in the world of Hollywood, Jennifer Love Hewitt has been linked to other celebs on a romantic level. In 2005, she was linked to her Ghost Whisperer co-star, Ross McCall. It seemed as though she and the Scottish actor were a match made in heaven, and her fans were over the moon when they announced their engagement in 2007.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113104\/GT0qkZU.jpg\")
\nHowever, it seems as though their love was too good to be true, as Jennifer announced that the wedding was off just one year after he put a ring on it.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Becoming a mom[\/post_page_title]
\nThankfully, Jennifer has since been able to find love again in the form of Brian Hallisay. The couple met while working on the set of The Client List in 2010, and made their relationship official in 2012. Just one year later, they tied the knot and then celebrated the birth of their first child, Autumn.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113104\/9c6932de94b58aafe2287c823c943c3a.jpg\")
\nThe couple weren\u2019t done just yet though, as they wanted to expand their brood even more. Thankfully, they welcomed Atticus into their family in June 2015, and they are now one big, happy family of four.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Still happy[\/post_page_title]
\nIt\u2019s no secret that you gain weight while pregnant, but it seems as though Jennifer Love Hewitt struggled more than most to lose her baby weight during both pregnancies. While newspapers and magazines called out the actress for her slightly-larger-than-her-normal-physique look, Jennifer was quick to shut down those who were looking to criticise her.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113105\/jennifer-love-hewitt1.jpg\")
\nShe was proud of her body for bringing two wonderful children into the world, and she was not going to push herself to lose the extra weight. She was going to enjoy her time with her children instead.
\n
\n[post_page_title]On the inside[\/post_page_title]
\nWhat Jennifer was implying, albeit indirectly, is that having a child is a lot more important than being able to fit inside size two jeans. Sure, there\u2019s nothing wrong with being fit and healthy, but shaming for their weight is not the way to do it.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092013\/june-2018.jpg\")
\nTo use the timeless cliche, it truly is what\u2019s on the inside that counts, and it\u2019s all about being confident in yourself. All of that being said, she has since shed some of the pounds that she gained.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Making a change[\/post_page_title]
\nIndeed, Jennifer has been looking a lot more slim these days. It\u2019s certainly not easy to claw your way back into the realm of being fit after gaining a lot of weight, whether it\u2019s from pregnancy or anything else.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092916\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-12.29.03-PM.jpg\")
\nBut she seems to have made it a priority, and we were actually pretty stunned by some of the pictures that she\u2019s been posting online. When you see some of the photos, you\u2019ll know good and well that our Jennifer is back on top.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Online presence[\/post_page_title]
\nShe\u2019s been posting a lot of photos on Instagram, and this one right here is only one example out of many others. As you can see, she clearly hasn\u2019t lost one ounce of her ability to look drop dead gorgeous on the turn of a dime, and there\u2019s no doubt in our minds that heads turned in every room that she walked into on the day of this picture.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092051\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-11.03.17-AM.jpg\")
\nAs talented as she\u2019s always been, she\u2019s also been able to consistently kill it in the looks department as well.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Secret millennial[\/post_page_title]
\nHere\u2019s another recent shot of her on Instagram, and we have to note that we love that she\u2019s keeping up with the times. Let\u2019s be honest, the various social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook are a lot less used by \u201colder stars\u201d – and even though Hewitt is still pretty young, at 41, she\u2019s no millennial.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092104\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-11.05.30-AM.jpg\")
\nAnd yet, she\u2019s clearly using these platforms like someone who was born in the ’90s, and her followers are eating it up happily.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Comic book success[\/post_page_title]
\nWe\u2019ve already discussed her success in the film industry, as well as the music industry, but it turns out that Hewitt also enjoyed some success in the comic book industry. In November of 2009, writer Scott Lobdell helped her create \u201cJennifer Love Hewitt\u2019s Music Box,\u201d a comic book series that spread out over five issues.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092117\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-11.38.19-AM.jpg\")
\nThe premise was about a mysterious music box that would cause strange things to happen to people who owned it.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Bestselling author[\/post_page_title]
\nAs long as we\u2019re on the topic of comic books, let\u2019s segway into the success Jennifer had as an author as well. Is there anything she doesn\u2019t do? Indeed, 2010 brought us all \u201cThe Day I Shot Cupid,\u201d a book Jennifer penned that actually became a New York Times Bestseller for a little while.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/16114254\/jennifer-love-hewitt-the-day-i-shot-cupid-01.jpg\")
\nThe book was loosely autobiographical, and it spoke about her experiences with love and dating, while providing advice on those topics as well.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Sequel talk[\/post_page_title]
\nIn June of 2011, Jennifer announced on Twitter that she was planning on releasing a follow up book to her first one. After the success she enjoyed from her first book, you can imagine that she\u2019d want to capitalize on that.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092429\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-11.06.44-AM.jpg\")
\nHowever, she has yet to release this follow up. Considering the topic of the original has to do with love and dating, it\u2019s possible that her marriage to Brian Hallisay in 2013 may have deterred her from writing the sequel.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Unpleasant interaction[\/post_page_title]
\nWhen you\u2019re as big of a success story as Jennifer Love Hewitt, you\u2019re bound to attract all kinds of nutty people in your life. All celebrities understand this, and they\u2019ve all had to deal with a fair amount of hecklers in their day.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092627\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-12.26.10-PM.jpg\")
\nBack in 2002, Jennifer had to deal with a pretty rough one. A former social worker and conspiracy theorist named Diana Napolis was reportedly handcuffed after verbally attacking Hewitt, among a number of other things.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Verbally attacked[\/post_page_title]
\nIndeed, Napolis pretended to be Jennifer\u2019s friend as she tried to sneak into the premiere of her film, The Tuxedo. She then verbally confronted not just Hewitt, but the film director Steven Spielberg as well.
\n
![](\"https:\/\/assets.rebelcircus.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/hewittspielberg.jpg\")
\nNapolis later admitted to getting in a shoving match with Hewitt, and pleaded guilty to all that she was being accused of. She eventually was released on bail, under the condition that she was not allowed any contact with both Hewitt and Spielberg.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Celebrity feelings[\/post_page_title]
\nYes, fans can certainly be a little bit crazy sometimes. So we advise anyone who sees a celebrity on the street to give them a smile – because they\u2019ve got feelings too. We all have this illusion that the life of a celebrity is all peaches and cream from morning till night.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092449\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-11.03.04-AM.jpg\")
\nGranted, they may not have to deal with the financial toils that both people deal with, but they are by no means different than the average Joe in the emotional sense.
\n
\n[post_page_title]Ghost Whisperer[\/post_page_title]
\nAnother television show that Jennifer has garnered a lot of acclaim for is The Ghost Whisperer. She plays the leading role of Melinda Gordon, a woman with the ability to talk to ghosts. The show ran from 2005 to 2010, and it was yet another highlight of a long, illustrious career of Jennifer.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092723\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-11.08.12-AM.jpg\")
\nThey say that consistency is what separates someone talented from someone great, and her consistency in the film industry has certainly showed us all her level of greatness.
\n
\n[post_page_title]’90s icon[\/post_page_title]
\nAt the end of the day, it\u2019s the nostalgia factor of it all that makes us love Jennifer so much, even after so much time. Sure, the fact that she\u2019s still active in the film industry has enabled her to remain relevant, but we\u2019ll never be able to forget her as that teen from I Know What You Did Last Summer.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/10092747\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-10-at-10.59.22-AM.jpg\")
\nShe\u2019s one of the classic teen icons of the ’90s, and we\u2019ll always love her, and continue to follow her down whatever road she chooses to take.
\n
\n[post_page_title]From strength to strength[\/post_page_title]
\nNowadays, Jennifer Love Hewitt is still just as famous as ever. She has been able to maintain her place within the world of Hollywood; she has been able to live her life with a wonderful family; and she still has fans that want her to succeed.
\n
![\"\"](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/08113105\/5b6f2d0b0a391.jpeg\")
\nIt seems as though she is doing just that, because Jennifer is currently starring as the lead role in the 2018 drama series, 9-1-1. After undergoing such an impressive transformation, it\u2019s amazing to see her going from strength to strength. Long may it continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
