Publish date: 2024-05-06

Much to everyone's surprise, Jennifer Love Hewitt hooked up with her pal and "Ghost Whisperer" co-star Jamie Kennedy in 2009, shortly after calling it quits with Ross McCall. Despite being friends with Kennedy throughout her engagement to McCall, Hewitt is adamant that there was no overlap between the dalliances. "We've been friends for a long time," she said on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (via Access). "I've heard about it — about being friends with somebody and it turns into something else and I've never really done that before and it's been great. He's hilarious and when you're with somebody funny they're always funny and it's just great." 

Kennedy was similarly smitten, telling Ryan Seacrest (via People), "I'm in love!... It's like, 'Wow, you are hot. You can sing, you can dance, you're like, so smart and, wow, you can cook pasta fagioli, too.'" Hewitt may have dated some major hunks of the '90s, but now it was time to experiment with some stars of the 2000s. It turns out that Hewitt really loved the Jamie Kennedy Experiment.

After a year of dating, People reported that the couple had split up. When Wendy Williams asked Hewitt about having to still work with Kennedy post-breakup, she responded with good humor. "He keeps asking me if Eli is gonna die," she chuckled. "No, no he's not! It's actually, you know, it's been fine. We were friends before, we're friends now and it's totally cool."
