Jennifer Love Hewitt had more than one reason to feel grateful on Tuesday as she celebrated both her family and her birthday.
The star of the Fox drama turned 44 and did so with a sweet personal message about her three children, husband, Brian Hallisay and late mother Patricia, and her long-running career.
Alongside a selfie, Jennifer wrote: "Woke up at 4am and was 44! I am deeply grateful, blessed, happy, sometimes insecure about aging, a mom of three incredible babies, married to the most handsome and awesome man, and really excited to see what this year has for us."

She continued: "I feel magic in the air and I love magic. Off to work… thank you mom for giving me life. I miss you so much," Jennifer said referring to her mother's death in 2012 after she lost her battle with cancer.
"Gonna get my job done and my birthday cheers on later. Ps Atticus got up way too early and sang me happy birthday! My heart melted. Now go have a great day everyone. It’s my birthday you have to do it."

"She loves the craft service truck. My son got to run around the lot, like, go into 'New York,' go up and down the stairs and take a picture in front of the police station, which he thought was super cool. It's just me who's a sap in my trailer, like, 'Why can't I see my babies?'"
She and Brian were able to spend time both on and off-screen for a year, however, when he played Doug Kendall, in the hit show from 2018-2019.
