Jennifer Love Hewitt Says Aging in Hollywood is "Hard"
You can call Jennifer Love Hewitt the tween whisperer.
The I Know What You Did Last Summer actress gave fans a peek into her relationship with son Atticus, sharing a rare video of the 9-year-old as she attempted to have a special family moment.
"When you want to bond with your kids but they are watching the I pad!" Jennifer wrote on Instagram Dec. 26, alongside a video of the duo. "Take what you can get!"
In the video, the 45-year-old—who also shares children Autumn, 10, and Aiden, 3, with husband Brian Hallisay—could be seen getting close to Atticus' face and singing along to a popular internet version of the Golden Girls theme song "Thank You for Being a Friend."
Atticus was clearly doing his best to ignore his mother's antics, holding back a laugh and chomping on pretzel sticks. Jennifer ended the video by giving her son a huge, motherly kiss on the cheek.
And fans were obsessed with the look into Jennifer's life, with one writing in the comments, "Awwwww he looks just like you. so adorable to see you both like this."
Another added, "Atticus is the cutest & you made me smiiiile!!!"

While Jennifer has largely kept Atticus and his siblings off her social media pages, she did include her brood in her recently-released Lifetime movie The Holiday Junkie. The film—directed by Jennifer and costarring her husband Brian—allowed their daughter Autumn to dip her toes in acting after she expressed an interest in pursuing a Hollywood career.
"Our big thing with her is, even though my experience as a kid actor was very positive, I think we've both sort of said, 'Stay in school, do that,'" Jennifer recently told E! News about Autumn's ambitions. "'Grow up. Wait until you're a little bit older. Don't take all of this on quite yet.'"
Brian agreed with his wife's sentiments, saying, "I am a proponent of Autumn going to school and sort of growing up and figuring out who she is before she does all that as a kid."
He added, "Because if it's something that you want to do, you have to work hard at it, and it's not easy."
