Jennifer Love Hewitt "did something" bold! The 911 actress revealed her new look on Instagram after undergoing a makeover and now she's a blonde bombshell. 

The actress shared a before and after look at her transformation as she went from shoulder-length, red locks to full, blonde waves. 

Thanks to her glam squad, a lot of Wella hair dye, and extensions, Jennifer looked ready to hit the beach, and wouldn't be out of place on Baywatch.

Jennifer's wrapped up the latest season of 9-1-1, and is ready to spend some time with her family.

Jennifer and Brian are both actors and she admits it can be a struggle raising a family.

"I think we struggle like most parents with three kids and full-time jobs and all of the things to find our time, but I really do wake up and choose Brian every day, and I would choose him every time."

She continued: "I genuinely feel that way, even when he makes me crazy. And he continues to choose me, thank God. I am always so profoundly happy that my kids are half him."

While the couple are notoriously private, Jennifer couldn’t resist gushing about her husband during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2014, calling Brian "an awesome, incredible father and a great husband, and I just feel really lucky”.

The couple have been lucky enough to also share the screen on four separate occasions. 

After first appearing together on the NBC series Love Bites, Jennifer and Brian reconnected on the set of the Lifetime show The Client List (2012–2013), where they played an estranged husband and wife. 

Jennifer later confessed that sparks flew between them. 

Brian played Jennifer's character's abusive husband on 9-1-1 in 2018, a role he reprised several years later.
