Helen Hunt had fans buzzing on Tuesday after sharing a fresh-faced selfie that showcased her timeless beauty. 

At 61, the Oscar-winning actress—who starred alongside Jack Nicholson in 1997’s As Good As It Get —looked effortlessly radiant as she as she flashed a beaming smile from Wrigley Field in Chicago, joined by her boyfriend, Big Little Lies actor Jeffrey Nordling.

Bundled up for the late-winter chill, the Mad About You star, who charmed audiences as Jamie Buchman from 1992 to 1999, made it clear she was ready for baseball season to begin.

‘In just a few hours, the Chicago @cubs will play my @dodgers in Tokyo in the first game of the 2025 season. Let’s go Dodgers,’ she captioned her post. ‘But my goodness, the Cubs are epic and this stadium is a work of art.’

While decades have passed since she played Sarah Jessica Parker’s free-spirited best friend in Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985), Helen still carries that unmistakable movie-star glow.

Her playful Instagram update follows a glamorous turn at last month’s Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where she wowed in a chic Christian Siriano gown and held hands with Nordling.

The couple first crossed paths while co-starring in Shooter, a 1988 NBC movie about Vietnam War photographers. 

She played Tracey, while he took on the role of Matt Thompson—but romance didn’t seem to spark back then.

Fast forward to May 2022, and fans started speculating when Jeffrey shared a group photo from Dodger Stadium, where he and Helen were hanging out with Camryn Manheim and Billie Jean King.

By October, they made things official with a red carpet debut at the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s 20th Anniversary Gala at the Walt Disney Concert Hall.

Hunt was born on June 15, 1963, in Culver City, California, and began acting as a child, making her television debut in the 1973 series Pioneer Woman. 

She gained widespread recognition for her role as Jamie Buchman in Mad About You (1992–1999), earning four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

In 1997, Hunt won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance as Carol Connelly in As Good as It Gets, starring opposite Jack Nicholson. 

She continued her film success with leading roles in Twister (1996), Pay It Forward (2000), and The Sessions (2012), the latter earning her an Oscar nomination.

'In just a few hours, the Chicago @cubs will play my @dodgers in Tokyo in the first game of the 2025 season. Let¿s go Dodgers,' she captioned her post, alongside her boyfriend, Big Little Lies actor Jeffrey Nordling. 'But my goodness, the Cubs are epic and this stadium is a work of art'

Hunt made her feature film directorial debut with Then She Found Me (2007).

She was married to producer Matthew Carnahan from 2001 to 2017, and they share a daughter, Makena Lei Gordon Carnahan, born in 2004.

In the last five years, Hunt reprised her iconic role as Jamie Buchman in the Mad About You revival, which aired in 2019 on Spectrum Originals. 

She has also directed episodes of popular TV shows, including Blindspotting (2021) and The Politician (2020), further establishing herself as a skilled director 

Up next, Helen is set to guest star in Hacks Season 3, premiering May 2 on Max.
