In addition to her acting career, Jaclyn has built a successful brand with her skincare line, wig line, and fabric line, Trend. Despite her professional success, she prioritizes her family and values the balance and harmony they bring to her life.
Jaclyn's Blissful Marriage with Brad Allen
Jaclyn is celebrating 25 years of marriage to her current husband, Brad Allen. The "Charlie's Angels" star has been married four times and has two children from a previous marriage.
Jaclyn and Brad met while he was working as a cardiothoracic surgeon at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas. Previously, he worked at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center.
They tied the knot in 1997 after a year of dating. Despite not having biological children of his own, Brad eagerly took on the role of stepdad and step-grandfather to Jaclyn's children and grandchildren.
Jaclyn has been vocal about her admiration for Brad, praising him for always making her laugh and taking excellent care of their family. In honor of their 25th anniversary, she wrote on Instagram:
"Here's to 25 years with my guy, my best friend, and my partner in life who never fails to put a smile on my face through all the ups and downs and who always goes above and beyond to take care of all of us, including my beloved honeybun."
On Father's Day, Jaclyn took to social media to shower Brad with love and appreciation. She wrote about feeling lucky to have him as her life partner and their children's father. She praised him for being a steady and reliable presence.
Jaclyn also had kind words for Brad on his birthday, admiring his ability to live each day like a celebration. She reiterated her gratitude for his constant support and motivation in navigating the ups and downs of life.
She also credits him for keeping her on track with her fitness goals, even during the holiday season. The couple heated things up on Instagram with their workout routine. The actress posted a video of her and the heart surgeon getting their sweat on together.

Jaclyn and Brad have always been candid about their relationship. They once amusingly chatted about their respective levels of patience and sentimentality, with a disagreement on who was more sentimental. However, they both concurred that Brad says sorry first after a conflict.
Jaclyn's Views on Botox
Despite being well into her seventies, Jaclyn continues to radiate beauty and vitality, proving that age is just a number. In late 2021, she posted a picture on Instagram with her then 39-year-old son, Gaston, who works as a cameraman for various TV shows, and the two looked like siblings.
Fans quickly commented on how young Jaclyn looked and how cute the pair appeared together. Aside from Gaston, Jaclyn has a daughter named Spencer Margaret.
Known for her ageless beauty, Jaclyn has shared some of her secrets for maintaining a youthful glow, including regular exercise and yoga. Her desire to hold her granddaughter in her arms motivates her to stay strong.
Thus, she engages in circuit training, which involves a combination of weightlifting, stretches, and core exercises. However, she emphasized that at this point in her life, she does not want to be overly devoted to working out and will not become a slave to it.
She also revealed that drinking green smoothies can do wonders for her skin. The actress admitted to having some minimal work done, including using her own fat for facial treatments and undergoing IPL (intense pulsed light) treatments.
But she avoids Botox due to concerns about overuse leading to a collapsed muscle appearance. Jaclyn believes in a natural approach to maintaining her appearance and avoids using fillers. She cautioned that it is easy to overdo cosmetic treatments in the pursuit of beauty and end up with unsatisfactory results.
In a recent interview, Jaclyn mentioned the shift in societal attitudes toward beauty since her "Charlie's Angels" days. She attributed the show's success to the diverse and dynamic personalities of the three female leads.
She also noted that the looks were less enhanced in the past and praised the lack of retouching in photos. Jaclyn remarked that fashion used to be more feminine and sexy but with subtlety and refinement rather than being overly explicit.
In addition to her acting career, Jaclyn has enjoyed success as a businesswoman, launching a skincare line, wig line, and fabric line called Trend. Despite her many accomplishments, family time keeps her grounded and happy.
Jaclyn's greatest joy is being a grandmother to her two grandchildren, Olivia Rose and Bea, and she cherishes the time she spends with them. She said:
"It's hard to explain with grandchildren. It's like you need an extra chamber in your heart."
According to Jaclyn, being a grandmother is the "best thing" in her life, reminding her that there is more to life than just herself. She described her love for her grandchildren as needing an extra chamber in her heart.
Fans' Mixed Opinions of Jaclyn's Beauty

Jaclyn's photo has amassed 12,214 likes as of this writing. Despite her stylish look, fans couldn't help but notice some differences in her appearance.
