In the latest issue of Closer Weekly, a close friend of Helen Hunt spills the tea on what’s been going on in her life. After a challenging year, Helen is turning a new leaf. The talented actress recently parted ways with Matthew Carnahan, the father of her 13-year-old daughter, Makena, following a 16-year relationship. “She’s still processing the breakup with Matthew,” an insider reveals to Closer. But instead of dwelling on the past, Helen's focusing on fresh opportunities ahead—both personally and professionally.
Helen, now 54, has always been the kind of person who keeps it real. According to the insider, she’s not one to get overly excited about things until they’re set in stone. Take, for example, the potential reboot of Mad About You, where she’d reprise her iconic role as Jamie Buchman opposite Paul Reiser. While nothing is official yet, the insider notes that this role was a game-changer for Helen. It propelled her to national fame, and she loved every minute of it. “She’s eager to get back to her peak, as she often says,” the source adds. For Helen, that means diving into projects that challenge and inspire her.

But don’t worry—she’s taking things one step at a time and focusing on what truly matters. And what matters most to Helen right now? Her role as a mom. “Helen’s a devoted mother,” the insider emphasizes. Raising Makena, she says, “is the greatest joy I’ve ever experienced.” So yeah, motherhood is pretty high on her priority list.
