LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jennifer Love Hewitt has opened up about her relationship with beau Jamie Kennedy , admitting he is the first friend she has ever dated.
"We've been friends for a long time," Jennifer said of her "Ghost Whisperer" co-star in an episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which airs on Wednesday. "I've heard about it -- about being friends with somebody and it turns into something else and I've never really done that before and it's been great. He's hilarious and when you're with somebody funny they're always funny and it's just great."

Though the two were friends while she was engaged to Scottish actor Ross McAll (the two split in January), Jennifer said romance didn't enter her mind until after the break-up.
"You've been friends with him and you never, in the back of your mind though, 'Hey, I'm attracted to him?" Ellen asked.

"I was in a different situation," Jennifer said. "I was in a different time in my life... There are people in your life who are just supportive and who just look at you and they see who you are and he really saw who I was as a person more than anybody had ever done in my whole life. I think that's for me when I sort of went, 'Oh, wow!' I knew he was funny, I knew he was special. I knew he was a really nice guy and decent person I just never really looked at him until a little while ago."
The actress, who plays Melinda Gordon, a store owner who helps ghosts cross over on her CBS show, said the split with her former fiance was tough, but she was happy how things turned out in the end.
"It's been really...look break-ups are awful. They're really painful. They really hurt. They really suck on lots of levels but what I think is great about life is that the universe always brings you something really beautiful and great afterward and that's kind of where I am now," she said.

MRYes she's a beauty to look at but HARD to watch for she always gives off this "fake" goody-goody vibe. Always seems to be posing. Trying to act too innocent.... don't know how to explain it. The only time I enjoyed watching her was in the Enrique video. They were both smoking hot.report abuseposted May 27, 2009 12:32 AM PDT

JulieThis is the first Iv'e herd of Jennifer and Jamie dating. It blew me away! I'd met Jennifer a long time ago when I was a kid back when she was on Party of Five. She was sooo nice back then. I even got to give her a baloon animal and sing the first verse of Amazing Grace to her and hug her and kiss her on the cheek. She told me back then, that none of her fans had ever given her anyreport abuseposted April 29, 2009 4:13 PM PDT

LandsharkAs mean as it sounds, I've sort of been hoping that Jay Mohr's new show gets canceled so that he'll return to Ghost Whisperer and replace that AWFUL Jamie Kennedy. But, now that they're dating, I guess we're stuck with him. Wonder what else is on on Friday nights...?report abuseposted April 24, 2009 4:55 PM PDT
