At 60, Helen Hunt, who once was married to “The Simpsons” voice actor Hank Azaria, found her personal life under scrutiny again. Their marriage ended in divorce in December 2000 after a brief union that began in July 1999.

Helen’s journey into motherhood came when she was at a career high, having secured an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in “As Good as It Gets.” She and her then-partner, producer Matthew Carnahan, welcomed their daughter Makena in May 2004.

Reflecting on motherhood in a 2008 interview, Helen shared the profound impact of her daughter on her life, stating that her love and becoming a mother were unparalleled experiences.

Helen and Matthew were together from 2001 until 2017, and despite their separation, they prioritized co-parenting Makena. By December 2020, it was reported that both had moved on to new relationships, with Matthew seeing someone and Helen involved with Steven Tepper, a professional photographer and former attorney, whom she deeply cared for but kept their relationship discreet to protect his privacy.

Insiders close to Helen shared that her daughter Makena approved of Steven, appreciating the happiness he brought to her mother. The couple, along with Helen’s family, even spent Thanksgiving together, signaling their serious commitment.
