Helen Hunt | 40

Have you seen the sitcom Mad About You? If you’re a fan of the show, then you probably know Jamie Buchman. The credit for the role goes to none other than Helen Hunt! The actress is the recipient of several of the most coveted awards in the industry. She has actually been awarded four Golden Globe Awards and four Primetime Emmy Awards for her part on the show. With her amazing talent and character delivery, it should come as no surprise that she was able to rack up all these awards.

Unfortunately, the star’s journey to motherhood didn’t go as smoothly as her career. She and the producer Matthew Carnahan started dating in 2001. The couple decided they wanted to have a child together, but it proved to be a grueling task. This prompted the couple to consider adoption, but in 2004, their investments paid off as Makena Lei was born. During this time, Hunt was already in her forties!
