Jennifer Love Hewitt marked her 46th birthday by sharing a series of makeup-free selfies alongside a candid reflection on aging.
In the caption of her Instagram post, the Party of Five star acknowledged the challenges women face as they grow older, stating that she has “experienced and seen how the world can be cruel to women as they age.”
Her post resonated with fans, many of whom praised her for embracing natural beauty and speaking out against societal pressures.
The actress—who recently criticized a Hollywood talk show host for making inappropriate jokes—began her post by noting that one of her “besties” dislikes filters.
“46 years old. No makeup and no filter,” she wrote, before candidly sharing, “It’s been a hard start to the year. I don’t quite feel myself. But yet, I feel like maybe this is all to bring me closer to who I am meant to be.”
The 9-1-1 star reflected on her emotional state, expressing that amid feelings of loss and uncertainty, she has discovered “a strange calm and letting go that doesn’t usually come easy to me.”
Jennifer and her husband, Brian Hallisay, 46, reside in Pacific Palisades. While their home was spared during the devastating Los Angeles fires last month, she acknowledged the widespread destruction surrounding them.#newsafro_
