Inside Jennifer Love Hewitt's Friendship With Betty White
Did you know Betty White and Jennifer Love Hewitt are real-life gal-pals, and they have even enjoyed a Golden Girls night out or two? Following in the footsteps of Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart, or Clay Aiken and Tyra Banks (they get together and sing Christmas Carols; seriously), Betty White and Jennifer Love Hewitt are yet another example of unexpected celebrity friendship goals.
The legendary Golden Girls alum, who celebrated her 99th birthday on Jan. 17, 2021, and the I Know What You Did Last Summer star worked together on the Hallmark movie The Lost Valentine in 2011, as Screen Rant noted. Whether that's where they first crossed paths in Hollywood is unclear, as well as where or when they've hung out. But one thing is obvious — these two have seriously kicked it. Whether it was White's hilarious charm or Hewitt's iconic and nostalgic movie roles that brought out the #90skid (and we don't mean age) in White, we also can't say. But apparently, Hewitt and White have had some good times. And now Hewitt is sharing one of those hangouts with fans!
