Jamie Lee Curtis and her husband, Christopher Guest are millionaires. But the superstar couple has chosen to live in the same gorgeous house for the past 30 years.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest celebrated their 39th wedding anniversary on December 2023, and for most of their married life, they’ve lived in the same place. Their children, Annie and Ruby, grew up in the lovely home.
Jamie Lee Curtis is practically Hollywood royalty thanks to being the daughter of Actor Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. She followed their footsteps and built a successful acting career, starring in classics like “Halloween” and “Freaky Friday.”
Her Marriage to Christopher Guest
Curtis and her husband have been married since 1984. She’s shared her appreciation for the man with whom she’s happy to spend the rest of her life numerous times.
During their 36th wedding anniversary, she wrote, “My hand in his. Then and now. Connected through our children and family and friends it became the links in our human emotional chain that have seen each of us through triumph and tragedy.”
Curtis once opened up about the moment she knew she was going to marry Guest. The actress manifested it when she came across his picture in a 1984 issue of Rolling Stone during the release of “This Is Spinal Tap.”
According to the actress, she pointed at Guest’s photo wearing a plaid shirt. Although she’d never seen him before, she pointed at him and told her friend that she would marry that man.
The very next day, Curtis took her chance by calling Guest’s agent. She gave him his number and asked for Guest to call her if he was interested.
Unfortunately, he never called, and she went on with her life, dating another man. After breaking up with him, she drove to Hugo’s restaurant in West Hollywood. There, she glanced up and saw Guest three tables away.
Guest ended up waving at her, and she waved back. When he got up to leave, he shrugged his shoulder and put his hand up. The very next day, he called her, and a couple of days later, they had their first date.
A couple of months later, Guest flew to New York City to tape “Saturday Night Live” for a year. At the time, they were completely smitten with one another and haven’t looked back since.
Her Children’s Lives
Now that Curtis and Guest are empty-nesters, they find comfort in spending time together. Their eldest daughter Annie is now married, and their daughter, Ruby, transitioned from her previous identity as Thomas.
Ruby is the second of Curtis’ two kids with Guest, and she decided to transition at the age of 25. Curtis couldn’t be any happier for her kids, as Ruby taught her to ditch the idea that gender is fixed.
In the same way that Annie is now married, Ruby also walked down the aisle in 2022. Curtis was proud to share that she officiated her daughter’s wedding ceremony.
