“Ghost Whisperer” star Jennifer Love Hewitt was bound for the altar with actor Ross McCall, but their engagement was suddenly called off back in December. Not long after, Jennifer was spotted getting affectionate with her TV co-star, comedian Jamie Kennedy. The timing of the events has definitely led some to wonder if Jennifer was getting a little something on the side while she was engaged – in fact, Ross himself is wondering if that’s the case.

Only three months after splitting with fiance Ross McCall, Jennifer Love Hewitt has found love again with her Ghost Whisperer co-star Jamie Kennedy – and Ross is not happy about it at all!

“Ross feels completely blindsided that Jennifer is already so publicly involved with someone again,” a close friend tells In Touch. “He feels that Jamie always flirted with Jennifer around him, and now he is wondering to his friends if this romance actually began while they were still together. He is very upset.”

While pals claim that Ross, 33, was the one to call off the three-year relationship in January, he is still hurt that she moved on so quickly.

“He thinks this is completely messed up,” a friend said.

But Jamie, 38, hasn’t been shy about hiding his feelings for Jennifer. He told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show, “I’m in love,” and couldn’t keep his hands off her in a romantic getaway to Mexico in March. “She’s very sexy and a cool chick,” he tells In Touch. And Jennifer is so serious about Jamie that she rushed back to him in LA on March 25 because he was sick with kidney stones.

I get the feeling that Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn’t take very long to get over any man. Someone like her has a whole line of dudes waiting to be her next boyfriend. I don’t know what happened between her and Ross, but he must have known that before he broke up with her. Why would he be surprised now? If there is any lingering question about whether or not Jennifer and Jamie hooked up on-set before she and Ross broke up, it won’t matter soon enough. There’s no way this romance is going to last! I had the misfortune of meeting Jamie one evening after seeing his excruciatingly unfunny stand-up act. He had a gaggle of young skanks following him all around and he was loving every minute of it. Jennifer’s hot – but I doubt he’d give that lifestyle up for long, even for her.

Two weeks ago news hit the stands that Jennifer Love Hewitt and her boyfriend Ross McCall had ended their engagement. Two weeks after the fact Ross McCall has confirmed that he and Jennifer are still together.

However, McCall is adamant that he’s working on a reunion with the actress, despite Love Hewitt having stepped out without her engagement ring.

In a statement UsWeekly, he says: “We are working it out. We are both still wearing our rings.”

News of the broken engagement came three months after Love Hewitt was snapped sobbing as he packed luggage into the back of a vehicle outside her home, sparking initial reports their romance was in trouble.

San Francisco Chronicle

You don’t sound very self assured there Ross. What exactly are you working out? Who gets to keep the espresso machine? This sounds like your relationship is definitely on hiatus, if not over, and you’re just working out your carefully worded statement. I expect to read that their “relationship is over, but we still respect and care for each other’ very soon.

It’s a shame Ross didn’t make his denial before US Weekly Life & Style ran their nasty cover story, calling Jennifer Love Hewitt clingy, insecure and fat.

Jennifer and Ross got engaged in November 2007, intending to marry mid-summer 2008. Their wedding was delayed in August and a new date wasn’t set.

Update: The Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ross McCall breakup story was incorrectly attributed to Life & Style. This cover story ran in US Weekly, not Life & Style, and we are sorry for the confusion.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiance, Scottish actor Ross McCall, broke up over Christmas. The couple was first linked nearly three years ago, in the spring of 2006, and got engaged in November, 2007. There was a lot of speculation over when they would make it official, but sadly it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen for these two. Someone close to the couple confirmed the news to People, which usually doesn’t speculate about these things:

“They broke up over the holidays and have ended their engagement,” says a source close to the couple. “They’re both really sad about this. Even their friends are surprised; they seemed really happy. Everyone just wants the best for both of them.”

Reps for both Hewitt and McCall had no immediate comment.

The Ghost Whisperer star, 29, got engaged to the Scottish actor, 32, in November 2007 after dating for two years.

While the couple hadn’t announced a date, in October Hewitt told PEOPLE her svelte new look was prompted not by those infamous 2007 bikini pictures – and the ensuing controversy over body image after she took to her blog to defend herself – but by her upcoming nuptials.

“I’m getting ready to turn 30 and get married and all those things,” Hewitt said. “This year was my year to try to glow from within and feel better.”

McCall, who costarred in the 2001 HBO miniseries Band of Brothers and stars in the USA drama Crash, appeared in one episode of Hewitt’s hit show Ghost Whisperer, in 2006.

It’s too bad that Hewitt and McCall couldn’t make it work. In September there were photographs of them looking like they were in an argument as McCall hauled suitcases to his car, but it was hard to tell if that’s exactly what was going on. Otherwise these two seemed like a very stable and happy couple. They were often photographed out together and were even seen hanging out at the mall recently. McCall seemed like a low-key kind of boyfriend who was content to go to events and support his more famous other half. Their last public appearance that I could find was serving Thanksgiving dinner at the LA Mission on 11/26/08.

For some reason, probably because they both seem like nice, down-to-earth people, I’m kind of hoping for a reconciliation for these two. They always struck me as the type that would have a happy ever after together. If they ultimately weren’t compatible it’s probably for the best that they broke up now before they got married though.

Jennifer Love Hewitt looks pretty amazing after losing nearly 20 pounds and a lot of people assumed that her motivation was her upcoming wedding day. Earlier stories had the 29 year-old actress marrying her fiance, 32 year-old actor Ross McCall, in a small ceremony sometime this summer. Her wedding could be on hold, though, reports In Touch, which quotes an insider saying that “things aren’t great between them.” They usually look incredibly happy and in synch with each other, and if it is true that their wedding has been pushed back I would bet there’s another reason, like logistics:

“Things aren’t great between them,” the insider says of the couple, who got engaged last November.

“It’s hard because he’s filming in New Mexico and she’s in LA. The relationship is strained and their wedding won’t happen anytime soon.” While Jennifer has revealed that this summer is out – “I won’t be a sweaty bride,” she has said – another friend insists that everything’s fine. “Jennifer and Ross are very excited,” says the pal. “It will be an intimate ceremony and Ross is having fun helping Jennifer plan it.” Adds her rep, “The wedding is going ahead as planned.”

[From In Touch, print edition, August 25, 2008]

Love Hewitt told reporters in February that her wedding would be “small and private and romantic and wonderful,” and that she might just get married on a whim. “If we kind of wake up and say, ‘Let’s go do it,’ that’s how we will do it.”

I doubt these two are having problems, but if they are it’s probably the things we all go through when we have to be apart from our partner. They’re together now despite their busy woek schedules. The two were photographed out in LA wearing lookalike outfits on Tuesday. It’s hard to judge people in photos, but there’s a quality to McCall that makes him look like an incredibly good guy and I get the impression he’ll make a great husband and dad someday. Love Hewitt is also one of the most genuine and likeable celebrities and it’s nice to see her happy and in love. I’m crossing my fingers for these two to make it official because they’re one of my favorite celebrity couples.

Ghost Whisperer star Jennifer Love Hewitt, 29, and her boyfriend of just over two years, Scottish actor Ross McCall, got engaged last November. McCall presented Hewitt with an antique engagement ring that has been in his family for over 100 years. Hewitt has said that she’s in no hurry to get married, but that she wants a small intimate ceremony and that they may have it at the spur of the moment if they feel like it.

Now the National Enquirer claims that Ross’ immigration status is threatened by the looming actor’s strike and that his work visa will no longer be valid if the strike happens. He could easily be deported back to the UK if that happened. In order to ensure that he’s a candidate for a green card, Jennifer is planning a wedding in the middle of the summer. From what I understand, he would still have to apply for a green card and go through a lengthy process in order to get permanent resident status even if they’re married. He’s a good candidate for a green card, though, considering how well documented and legitimate their relationship is:

If Ross remains single and an actors’ strike did occur, it’s likely he would be kicked out of the country and have to reapply for a new visa to return.

While negotiations continue and some show business analysts say the possibility of a full-on strike is unlikely, Jennifer is taking no chances, the soure said. The former “Party of Five” star, 29… because engaged to Ross in Hawaii in 2007…

Ross, 32, who’s had bit parts in the HBO series “Band of Brothers,” and “Ghost Whisperer,” was less bothered by his immigration status than Jennifer.

“She’s planning a small but elegant wedding to take place in midsummer, and can’t wait to become his bride.”

Even though Hewitt has said she wants a “private” wedding, I hope she releases some photos because I would love to see her dress and get some idea of the decorations at her reception. She seems like a genuinely good person, and someone who has managed to stay down to earth and keep their integrity in Hollywood.

In these photos of Hewitt and McCall taken on5/9/08 at the Step Up Women’s Network luncheon, I thought that McCall might be wearing a wedding ring already. It looks more like an insignia ring, though, and he’s worn it for some time.

Thanks to WENN for these photos.

Jennifer Love Hewitt may have had a pressing reason to get engaged to her boyfriend of nearly two years, Scottish actor Ross McCall. Star Magazine is claiming that the well-liked Ghost Whisperer star is pregnant. The story is pretty scant on details, so it could be mere speculation, but they say that Ross and Jennifer went to Hawaii in part to celebrate her pregnancy. The article doesn’t make it clear whether the engagement was prompted by Jennifer’s maybe-pregnancy, and just says she found out she was expecting “around the same time” that she got engaged.

Ross, 31,… surprised Jennifer when he popped the question with an engagement ring that has been in his family for 100 years. Around the same time, the Texas beauty learned that she was pregnant!

While a rep for Jen denies she’s expecting, the source says that to celebrate the terrific news, the couple jetted off to Hawaii.

I’m not holding my breath on this one, but it could be true. Jennifer had normal-sized women around the world cheering when she blogged that she was sick of the constant scrunity of women’s bodies in the media and that she was happy with her body as it is. She was responding to criticism over her average-sized body after she was photographed in a bikini in Hawaii with Ross. While she said that she was dealing with “photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles,” it seemed to me like she was overstating her case, because I assumed the entire photo series was pre-arranged and staged by Hewitt. The pictures were way too posed and close up to be random photos taken by a paparrazo that trailed them all the way to Hawaii, but I guess it could have happened that way. Still, it doesn’t seem like Jennifer Love Hewitt is the level of celebrity that a photo agency would follow on vacation.

She may have been poised to tell the press that she’s annoyed that people criticize normal-sized women and I suspect that she set up the photos intending to do just that. She made an excellent point, though, and one that’s long overdue.

We’ll have to wait and see if she’s pregnant. If so, congratulations to one of the most down to earth and kind celebrities out there. I see Jennifer, Ross and the baby getting photographed as much as one of my other favorite celebrity couples, the Garner-Afflecks.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall are shown at the Scream Awards on 10/19/07, thanks to PRPhotos. Egotastic has the bikini photos, and she doesn’t look pregnant there, but it could be early on.

On Thursday we told you that Jennifer Love Hewitt got engaged, and that most of the press about her engagement focused instead on recent unflattering pictures of her in a bikini. I thought the criticisms were a too harsh – no one looks as good as they do when they’ve got professional lighting, fuzzy lenses, and retouchers. But as a result of all the professional lighting, fuzzy lenses, and retouchers, our perception of how people are “supposed” to look becomes skewed. Though there were a few commenters who called her fat/overweight/unhealthy, it seems that the majority of you believe that Jennifer has a nice and normal body. She’s certainly put on weight in the last ten years, but who has the exact same body they did at eighteen?

In the last few years Jennifer has ignored the bad press her curvy figure has received, but finally felt the need to respond to all the hate going around about her ass. On her website Jennifer wrote:

This is the last time I will address this subject. I’ve sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women’s bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I’m not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image. A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn’t make you beautiful.

What I should be doing is celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement to the man of my dreams, instead of having to deal with photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles. I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body.

To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini – put it on and stay strong.

I’m not sure if Jennifer was saying that a size 2 isn’t fat as a general rule, or saying that she’s a size 2 and not fat. I think she just put her sentences in a funny order that makes it a bit confusing. Regardless, it’s pretty clear that she has a healthy body image and a good perspective. She points out that she’s just gotten engaged, and people aren’t even talking about that – they’re talking about her ass. I think she looks gorgeous and will make a beautiful, healthy and happy bride.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and her boyfriend, Scottish actor Ross McCall, have been dating for over a year and a half and are spotted out together frequently. Now Star Magazine reports that they’ve given each other promise rings, and that they may marry next year:

Things are going so well for Jennifer Love Hewitt, 28, and her beau… Scott actor Ross McCall, 31, that the lovebirds have given each other promise rings!

“They are very, very [much] in love,” a pal close to the Ghost Whisperer star tells Star. “They’re glued at the hip, do everything together, even live together.”

Ross has cleared another important hurdle: winning over mom Pat! “Her mother, who is a very strong force in Jennifer’s life, approves of Ross and wants Jennifer to settle down,” says the pal. Expect a summer 2008 wedding in the beautiful gardens of the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel.

[From Star Magazine print edition, August 20, 2007]

It sounds like all the “source” told Star was that they’ve exchanged rings, that Jennifer’s mom likes Ross, and that they do everything together. That bit at the end about a summer 2008 wedding could just be something they tacked on, but it might be true.

Jennifer Love Hewitt comes off as a genuinely kind person, and I was trying to think if she’s ever dated a real jerk because Ross McCall seems like he would make a great husband. There are some women who always choose the best guys. You know the type of person I’m talking about – she’s super nice and is never without a doting boyfriend. (I dated a lot of jerks before I met my husband, but I guess that’s a good thing or I might have been stuck with someone else instead of him.)

Then I remembered that Jennifer dated Wilmer Valderamma, or at least he claimed on Howard Stern that he dated her. She said they were just friends and laughed off his boasts, saying “I was told, like, that we had all these very steamy encounters, and I was like, really! Well, I would have loved to have been there!”

According to nndb.com, her other boyfriends have included Joey Lawrence in 1996, Will Friedle from 1996-97, Carson Daly fro 1997-99, and John Mayer in 2002. I never heard that about John Mayer and Jennifer, but he wasn’t really on my radar at that point.

She’s also very close to her mom and lived with her up until at least 2002, when she was 23. She told Rolling Stone “I like the fact that my mom and I need each other, and I like the fact that I’m only going to get one life with her and I’ll never have to look back and say, ‘Gosh, I wish my mom and I could have done that.’” [From EOnline]

Maybe she never rebelled and that’s part of the way she avoided dating jerks. I’m still not sure she dodged that Wilmer Valderrama bullet, although she handled his big mouth pretty well.

I would love to see Jennifer Love Hewitt have children as she seems like she’d make a great mom, not that you have to be married to do that.
