Jennifer Love Hewitt's Kids: Meet Children With Brian Hallisay

If there’s one thing Jennifer Love Hewitt adores more than acting, it’s being the proud mom of her three kids. The Ghost Whisperer alum shares her children, Autumn, Atticus and Aidan, with her longtime husband, Brian Hallisay.

The Hollywood couple announced in May 2021 they were expecting their third child. “Oh baby! We have another one on the way. So excited to finally share this news with all of you,” the pregnant mama wrote on Instagram. “Thank you @clearblue for being part of our journey and giving us a platform to share this news!”

The Client List actress announced she gave birth to baby No. 3 on September 9, 2021. “It is said that women leave their bodies in labor … they travel to the stars to collect the souls of their babies and return to this world together,” she wrote via Instagram. “It was my greatest honor to go and collect you, Aidan James. Now back to snuggles and resting.”

The beloved beauty experienced motherhood for the first time after she welcomed daughter Autumn with Brian in November 2013. A few years later, the longtime couple gave their youngster a little brother when son Atticus was born in June 2015.

Throughout the first few years of her children’s lives, the I Know What You Did Last Summer star effortlessly mastered juggling her hectic work schedule while raising her tots. Although she was apprehensive about bringing up her kiddos in the spotlight, Jen previously revealed that looking back, motherhood actually helped her in her Hollywood career.

“I think before becoming a parent, love was something that sounded beautiful and was out there and portrayed in movies and felt at certain times when I met my husband,” she told Us Weekly in August 2019, noting it was just months after their 2013 nuptials that they created their little family.

“Then [Brian and I] very quickly started having kids, and the love that I feel for the person that allowed me to have that dream in having those children and the love that you have for your children, it opens you up in a way that makes you more vulnerable than you could ever possibly imagine,” she continued at the time.

Since she’s now able to tap into these newfound emotions, Jen explained how motherhood has been a huge bonus for her career. “In acting now, it’s been a really interesting gift because your job as an actor is to crack yourself open as much as possible and give that to people,” she stated.

“I think before whereas I had to imagine what that was like, now I actually feel that on a daily basis in good ways and in bad ways, depending on the day and the moment with [my] kids and [my] husband,” Jen sweetly went on. “It’s been a beautiful gift as an actor. It’s a much more accessible thing for me now in a way that I didn’t know was possible.”

Autumn James Hallisay

Considering Jennifer and Brian keep photos of their children off social media, there isn’t much we get to see of their little girl, Autumn. However, the Client List actress opens up about her eldest child every now and then. In August 2018, she gave some insight on a regular day on set with her adorable daughter. At the time, the brunette beauty revealed why her mini-me is so obsessed with getting to watch her mama hard at work.

“My daughter thinks that work is the coolest thing she’s ever seen,” she shared with Us Weekly. “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.”

Although Autumn and Atticus think their mom’s job is “great,” Jen joked about separating herself on set so she can focus on her role. “It’s just me who’s a sap in my trailer, like, ‘Why can’t I see my babies?’” she gushed.

Jennifer also dished how proud Autumn is of her Hollywood work. While previously chatting with People in 2018, the Party of Five star got candid about the time her youngster commended her film project.

“Somebody at my daughter’s school said she watched Garfield and Garfield 2,” she said. “[My daughter] watched the whole movie, said nothing and at the very end she was like, ‘You were very good, Mommy.'” Aww!

While Jennifer doesn’t share photos of her daughter on Instagram, she gave rare insight into one of her favorite things in a November 2022 birthday post. “We did a Paris themed party for my sweet Autumn. She is almost 9 and Paris speaks to her. It was so fun!” the actress gushed, adding, “I loved putting every little piece together and seeing her light up,” about the pastel covered Eiffel Tower backyard bash.

Atticus James Hallisay

Like their eldest daughter, Jennifer and Brian don’t share much about their tot, Atticus. Luckily for fans, the super cute youngster was spotted out on a rare outing with his famous mama in Los Angeles. The mother-son duo stepped out for a trip to the local grocery store in December 2019.

Although she won’t share actual photos of her children, Jen did give a glimpse into her life as their mom on her 40th birthday. At the time, she uploaded a snap of Atticus and Autumn’s hands placed over hers.

“This is my happy place,” she captioned the photo in February 2018. “These little hands reminding me to slow down, take a deep breath and remember what is truly important and that is creating joy, safety and deep love for my little humans every day.”

Aidan James Hallisay

Jennifer shared the first sweet photo of her new little boy from behind on October 1, 2021. At just 4 weeks old, the infant already had a full head of brown hair at the time. The actress cradled her precious baby in his Halloween onesie and noted, “First of many Halloween jammies for us.”

A few weeks after giving birth to her third child, Jennnifer shared a candid message with fans about how she would be taking a step back from social media to focus on her family.

“Self care, moments to breathe and feel yourself again. Even in small ways. So important,” she wrote. “I am also starting at least a week, maybe two, away from social media tomorrow. I need to reset. I need to take my scrolling time and make it active time. Workouts, breathing, manifesting, time with my kids and husband.”

In March 2022, the mom of three made her return to 9-1-1 with a storyline that was near and dear to her heart after welcoming Aidan. Her character, Maddie, gave birth to a baby.

“I was really impressed and excited that the show decided to go very deep into postpartum depression,” she said in a promo video ahead of the episode. “I think it’s super important. I definitely personally had my worst postpartum after this pregnancy, so to come back so soon after that and be able to give those real things to Maddie has been very cathartic for me and really nice to be able to represent that for all the women out there.”
