The Halloween franchise has a new scream queen in training. Jamie Lee Curtis has officially entered her grandmother era after her daughter, Annie Guest, welcomed her first child .
The 66-year-old Oscar winner shared the happy news with followers, beaming with pride as she introduced the world to her newest family member.
Curtis, who has always been open about her love for her family, is already embracing grandmotherhood with the same energy she brings to everything else. The Freaky Friday star posted a heartwarming tribute to both her daughter and the newest addition to their family.
“Sweetness and joy,” Curtis wrote, describing the experience of watching her own child become a parent. The actress has been spotted around Los Angeles in recent weeks, stocking up on baby gear and preparing her home for visits from the little one.
Annie Guest, 38, is Curtis’s eldest child with husband Christopher Guest, the acclaimed writer and director known for This Is Spinal Tap and Best in Show. The couple married in 1984 and also share 28-year-old daughter Ruby .
Unlike many celebrity families who document every step of pregnancy, Annie and her partner kept the journey mostly private. The first public hint came when Curtis posted a cryptic but excited message about becoming a grandmother, sending fans into a frenzy of speculation.
The baby’s name and exact birth date have not been publicly disclosed, in keeping with the family’s preference for privacy around personal milestones. But those close to the actress say she has been telling friends she finally understands what people mean when they say grandchildren are “the reward you get for not killing your children.”
Curtis has a busy year ahead, including promotional tours for her upcoming projects and continued advocacy for children’s hospitals. But sources say she has already cleared her calendar for the next several weeks to focus entirely on helping Annie adjust to new motherhood.
For the actress who has played mothers and grandmothers on screen for decades, real life has finally caught up to the roles. And by all accounts, Jamie Lee Curtis is loving every second of it.
