Co-Stars on Party of Five
Lacey Chabert and Jennifer Love Hewitt first met on the set of Party of Five, a family drama that ran from 1994 to 2000. The show followed the lives of the Salinger siblings, who had to take care of themselves after their parents died in a car accident. Chabert played Claudia Salinger, the youngest sister and a violin prodigy. Hewitt played Sarah Reeves, the girlfriend of Bailey Salinger (Scott Wolf), the second oldest brother and an alcoholic.
The two actresses became friends on the show, as their characters were also close. They shared many scenes together, especially in the first five seasons, before Hewitt left to star in her own spin-off, Time of Your Life. However, the spin-off was short-lived, and Hewitt returned to Party of Five for its final season.
Reunion on Ghost Whisperer
After Party of Five ended, Chabert and Hewitt continued to pursue their careers in Hollywood. Chabert voiced several animated characters, such as Eliza Thornberry in The Wild Thornberrys and Meg Griffin in Family Guy. She also appeared in movies like Not Another Teen Movie, Daddy Day Care, and Mean Girls. Hewitt became a movie star with films like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Can’t Hardly Wait, Heartbreakers, and The Tuxedo. She also released several albums as a singer.
In 2005, Hewitt returned to TV with Ghost Whisperer, a supernatural drama where she played Melinda Gordon, a woman who could communicate with the spirits of the dead. Chabert guest-starred on the show in 2006, playing Donna Ellis, a young woman who was haunted by her abusive father. The episode marked their first on-screen reunion since Party of Five.
Support for Each Other’s Projects
Chabert and Hewitt have remained friends over the years, supporting each other’s projects and personal lives. In 2012, Chabert tweeted her congratulations to Hewitt for her role in The Client List, a TV series where Hewitt played a single mother who worked as a massage therapist with extra services. In 2014, Hewitt gave birth to her second child with her husband Brian Hallisay, whom she met on The Client List. Chabert sent her best wishes to the new mom on Twitter.
In 2020, Chabert launched her own clothing line for HSN, featuring cozy and comfortable pieces inspired by her love for her daughter Julia. She sent some of her products to Hewitt, who posted a photo of herself wearing one of Chabert’s pajamas on Instagram. She also praised Chabert’s Hallmark Christmas movies, calling her “the new Queen of Christmas”. Chabert replied with gratitude and suggested they watch some Hallmark movies together while wearing matching pajamas.
