What Jeannie From How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days Is Doing Now

There are few romantic comedies that stand the test of time like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The premise is simple enough: a journalist (played by Kate Hudson) embarks on an article about finding the perfect man... and then dumping the perfect man. It's the ideal "what not to do" advice column. The only hitch? She falls for him — and how could she not? The eligible bachelor is none other than Matthew McConaughey! 

As How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is eyed for a reboot, per Page Six, it's only fitting to find out what some of our favorite supporting characters are up to now in real life. Of course, who can forget the scene-stealing best friend and fellow magazine writer Jeannie, played by Annie Parisse? While it's been close to two decades since How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days came out, let's see what Annie Parisse has been doing in recent years. Keep scrolling to find out!
