Jennifer Love Hewitt is opening up about her existence during the last 365 days.
“This year I went thru [sic] a lot no one knew about,” Hewitt, 44, wrote by means of Instagram on Sunday, December 31, along a selfie. “And was grateful for that privacy. I had the greatest time being a mommy at home with my kids.”
Hewitt, who stocks her 3 kids with husband Brian Hallisay, shared she discovered “to be a better baker,” and that “it’s OK to take time for myself mentally, physically and emotionally.” She added that she “did a lot of praying and manifesting” in addition to “belly laughed more than ever” and had “the longest cold” of her existence.
“Was forced to have more faith than normal,” she persisted. “Learned to love working out as a gain for my mental health. Took chances on myself and my bigger dreams. Sat deeper in grief and was able to let more go. Felt my mom around us and saw signs that she was.” (Hewitt’s mom, Patricia, died from most cancers in 2012.)
Hewitt added that she “said goodbye to things that don’t serve positivity in my life” and “made room for lots of good things in 2024.”
“Celebrated 10 years with my guy,” she wrote. “Got some tattoos. And truly let whatever I needed to learn teach me. And so here I am. Happy, blessed, grateful and filled with hope. I will be praying our world gets better this year and everyone sees less pain, fear and heartbreak. Love to all and Happy New Year!”
The 9-1-1 celebrity made headlines this yr for her candidness about ageing within the public eye. After sharing a selfie to Instagram in September, Hewitt was once deemed “unrecognizable” via enthusiasts.
“I was getting my hair done and I had not a stitch of makeup on, so I threw on a filter. I really gave it no thought,” she recalled all through an episode of the “Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum” podcast previous this month, including that some other folks accused her of the usage of social media filters as a result of she didn’t need her fans to “know how bad she actually looks now in her 40s.”
“This is crazy,” she mentioned, including that the judgment intensified after she purposely attempted to jokingly pose the usage of “over-the-top filters.”
“Then they came after me for that,” she shared. “They were like, ‘Well, now she’s just defending herself,’ and, ‘Why is she defending?’ I realized I can do no right.”
The Prison Minds actress mentioned the incident made her notice enthusiasts “have this moment when they fall in love with you” and “that’s who they want you to always be.”
“And there’s something really beautiful about that, but there’s also something really not OK about that,” Hewitt mentioned, including, “Aging in Hollywood is really hard because you can’t do anything right.”
