Helen Hunt Is a Divorcee & a Mother of One
Helen is 60 years old and has been married once. She was previously married to fellow actor Hank Azaria, known for voicing several characters in the animated show, “The Simpsons.” The former couple’s marriage was short-lived after tying the knot in July 1999 and divorcing in December 2000.
The actress and director found happiness again when she met producer and writer Matthew Carnahan, with whom she welcomed her daughter Makena, 19, in May 2004.

Helen had her only child at the peak of her acting career after winning an Oscar Award for Best Actress in the 1997 romantic comedy, “As Good as It Gets,” alongside Jack Nicholson and Cuba Gooding Jr.
She spoke candidly about parenthood in a September 2008 interview, saying nothing compares to being a mother to her then four-year-old daughter Makena. She stepped away from the limelight to “get a life” and further expressed:
“I fell in love. I had a daughter.”
Still, another insider revealed Helen was madly in love with Steven, a former attorney, and hoped that things would work out between them. Hence, she remained mum about their newly found romance.
The source also divulged that Helen’s daughter was accepting of her new boyfriend, Steven, adding she loved how “happy” he made her. Steven even spent Thanksgiving with his famous girlfriend and her family during that period.
An insider additionally shared that they all looked forward to celebrating the holidays together. At that point, Helen had been dating Steven for “over a year,” and her daughter Makena had reportedly gotten to know him better.
In addition, Makena seemed to be smitten with her mother’s significant other, “Makena likes him, and that goes a long way in her book. [Helen] deserves happiness and Steven makes her happy,” revealed the insider.
