2020 CELEBRITY MUMS
To celebrate Mother's Day this month, we're honouring three celebrity mums celebrating new bundles of joy this year.
Jennifer Hawkins
Miss Universe Jennifer Hawkins welcomed her first child on October 17th, 2019. She announced the news by sharing a candid photo of herself lying in a hospital bed with her daughter Frankie resting her sleepy head on Jennifer's chest.
Jennifer: "Frankie Violet Hawkins Wall. Dream come true! So thankful to be holding our beautiful healthy baby girl! We couldn't be more in love."
She first broke the exciting news, she was expecting a baby girl with hubby Jake Wall last May. The couple have been married since 2013.
Jennifer: "Frankie Violet came into the world so quickly!! Healthy baby girl after a natural birth. Best day of my life."
Jennifer recently celebrated her daughter's arrival with a cover photoshoot for Marie Claire magazine last month. In her candid interview she opens up about her fertility struggles revealing she experienced a heartbreaking miscarriage and was then diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis before Frankie was born.
Jennifer: "There were moments when I honestly thought that I might not be able to have a baby. It was really difficult to even think that and I was scared to say it out loud."
Last August Jennifer revealed in an exclusive interview with Stellar magazine, how her battle with endometriosis "almost broke" her.
Jennifer: "Last year was such a tough year for Jake and me. It was the toughest year of our lives. I felt like I almost broke and, in fact, it's still really raw. But Jake was amazing. He let me sit with the pain, feel it and not be OK."
Hawkins 2 year struggle to conceive, was an opportunity for personal growth and the experience has brought her so much gratitude for Motherhood and her daughter Frankie.
Jennifer: "It's the best thing I've ever done. I feel more content than I've ever been."

Actress and Dancer Jenna Dewan welcomed her second child, a baby boy with fiancé Steve Kazee on March 6, 2020.
Jenna made the announcement on Instagram sharing a black and white photo of her and Callum captured moments after his birth via cesarean section.
Jenna: "And just like that, our hearts exploded into all of eternity and beyond. Welcome to the world you little angel! Callum Michael Rebel Kazee 3/6/20."
This is her first child with fiancé Steve Kazee. Jenna also shares a daughter, Everly with ex-husband Channing Tatum, who turns 7 on May 31st.
The pair have been dating since 2018 and they announced their engagement in February after Steve popped the question at Jenna's baby shower.
Earlier this month Jenna shared intimate photos of her son Callum with People magazine and explained the meaning behind her son's name. Callum means "Dove" in Gaelic "because he has been so sweet and peaceful since landing in our arms". Michael is Steve's middle name and "Rebel" was chosen in honour of his mother Reba.
Steve Kazee: "I wanted a way to honour my mother. Her name was Reba but from a very young age her father called her Rebel."
Jenna gave People magazine an exclusive look inside her dream Nursery for Callum, furnished by Pottery Barn Kids.
Jenna: "It's bright, and it's comfy and it feels really warm in here. We wanted a calm, chic, neutral and Whimsical room to bring baby home to and they [Pottery Barn] delivered in every way."

Shay Mitchell
Pretty Little Liars actress & entrepreneur Shay Mitchell celebrated the birth of her first child, Atlas Noa on October 20th, 2019.
The 33 year old millennial mum is adjusting to life with a new born with her partner, Candadian actor Matte Babel.
Shay: "I've had to reprioritise my work time with her schedule, and that's been interesting for me. Before it was all about my schedule, now I work once she falls alseep."
Shay connected with fellow mums on social media to make her transition into motherhood easier.
Shay: "Being a new mum, it's all about supporting each other."
Before Atlas was born, Shay was an avid traveller. With a Youtube channel devoted to capturing her best moments including her vacations, which she cleverly nicknames 'Shaycations'. Shay also launched her own line of travel essentials Béis which includes chic and stylish luggage.
Shay: "After countless trips and #Shaycations, I realised that I wanted to create amazing, affordable pieces for travellers like myself and - in turn - everyone inspired to seek new places, meet new people and share the world."
In January Shay gave Architectural Digest an exclusive look into glamorous 1920's Los Angeles home. The Tour included her daughter's room which features Atas's bras crib and black and white pictures of her parents.
Shay: "These are all the photos that we had taken over the years while travelling. It's always wonderful to have lovely people but also to have places that you've been to. Especially, with her name being Atlas, it goes hand in hand with all these places that she's been already without her knowing."

ECO ANGEL: Kate Upton
KATE UPTON Strong 4 Me
ECO ANGEL
Actress, supermodel and new mom Kate Upton is our new Eco Angel for August 2019.
This month Kate's creating an online community with her fitness program Strong4Me around self motivation and encouraging others to join the conversation and share their stories with the new campaign #ShareStrong.
Kate grew up in Michigan with her mother and father, Shelley and Jeff Upton. When Kate was seven the Upton family moved to Florida and she pursued her passion for horse riding as a young equestrian.
Kate: "I loved horses since I was little. My sister and I... we took lessons and then started going into competitions and we got better and better and kept moving up to the next level."
Upton was signed with Elite Model Management during a casting call in Miami in 2008. When Kate moved to New York and joined IMG Models, she became the face of Guess appearing in the company's sexy ad campaigns from 2010 to 2011.
 |
| Kate Upton GUESS (2011) |
Kate's big break came when the 19-year-old model first appeared in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit edition in 2011, with the magazine naming her Rookie of the Year. She has graced the iconic cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue four times. Featuring on the cover and inside the magazine with stunning pictorials in 2012, 2013, 2014 (flip-side cover) and again in 2017.
Kate's cover of the 2017 SI Swimsuit Issue included three special collector's covers, with the issue focusing on body diversity.
Kate: "The brand represents to me confident, beautiful, sexy women. For Sports Illustrated to be just as passionate as I am to embrace all body types and all different people and all different types of women, is really special to me, and one of the reasons I am so excited to be part of this issue."
 |
| Kate Upton Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue 2017 |
"It's a full circle moment for us. We started Kate in her career, and you know, we watch her grow and become not only this worldwide, superstar phenomenon; she changed the direction of the modelling industry. Kate Upton was really this trailblazer that led the way for the Ashley Grahams of the world and everything you're seeing happen that's different in fashion right now."
MJ Day, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Editor
From supermodel to movie star, Kate made the move to Hollywood with a starring role alongside Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann in the 2014 romantic comedy The Other Woman.
Kate's character Amber is a Swimsuit model and mistress in the hilarious comedy about three women who unite to take revenge on Mark, after they discover he's been dating all three of them at the same time.
Kate: "Amber is a free spirit, and she's definitely a little bit naive or too optimistic about life. So she never thought she's be put in a situation where she was with a guy who was married or even had a girlfriend, especially not both. So she was really shocked and upset that she hurt these women and I think that was more her shock than actually her boyfriend cheating on her."
 |
| Kate Upton THE OTHER WOMAN |
Kate: "The Other Woman to me, is about women who really are there for each other and have found that their friendship means more than that relationship. And it's about going through their lives and having someone who loves them so much they would do anything for them and that's why I really love the movie."
Kate really enjoyed her first major movie role especially being on set with fellow actors Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann, while filming the movie on location in New York City, The Bahamas and The Hamptons.
Kate: "I'm so lucky to have you know one of my first movies with Leslie and Cameron - they're such amazing people and they're so inspiring and happy all the time. We have so much fun. We talk and we're laughing all the time off set, it makes it a lot more comfortable when you're on set."
"This film is hilarious and it's a lot of fun."
Kate Upton
In real life, Kate found love off screen with American baseball pitcher Justin Verlander. The couple were engaged in 2016 with Upton revealing the news on the red carpet at the Met Gala.
Kate: "We met filming a commercial for Major League Baseball."
Following Justin's World Series win, the pair said I Do in a romantic Tuscan villa in Italy on November 4, 2017.

When it came to designing her dream dress, Kate chose Valentino.
Kate: "For my ceremony dress, I had the pleasure of collaborating with the fantastic team at Valentino. They are the best at creating delicate, beautiful lace and details, and their Italian heritage kept the fashion and feel authentic to our venue."
A year later the newly weds welcomed their first child, a baby girl, Genevieve "Evie" Upton Verlander on November 7th, 2018.
In 2019 Kate's focus is family and fitness with an emphasis on self motivation and self love. Encouraging all women to have a healthy relationship with their mind and body, especially after giving birth.
This month Kate revealed her un-retouched cover of Health magazine (September 2019).
Kate: "I don't want anyone to have to be in that negative space where they think, "Oh, no! I don't fit into that size 2 dress." You know what who cares? Buy another one!"

ECO ANGEL: Jennifer Love Hewitt
Jennifer Love Hewitt
ECO ANGEL
Actress, Singer and Mother Jennifer Love Hewitt is our featured Eco Angel for February 2019. This month Jennifer turns forty and to celebrate we're looking back at her iconic Hollywood career.
Best known for her role as Sarah in Party of Five, Jennifer Love Hewitt has been acting for 3 decades. She made her TV debut in Disney's Kids Incorporated in 1989 as a backup singer. In the early 90's Jennifer kick started her movie career acting in such films as House Arrest, Trojan War and Sister Act 2. But it wasn't until her breakout role in the 1997 teen horror flick I know What You Did Last Summer that Jennifer became a household name. A lead role in the teen comedy Can't Hardly Wait followed along with the 1998 sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.
 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | Can't Hardly Wait |
In the late 90's Jennifer starred as Sarah Reeves in the FOX family drama Party of Five. Along side teen Scream queen Neve Campbell, Jennifer spent five seasons playing sweet and sassy Sarah on the beloved drama series from 1995 to 1999.
Although Jennifer is most known for acting, she also loved to sing! During her spent time filming Party of Five Jennifer was a recording artist signed to Atlantic Records and released 3 studio albums; Let's Go Bang (1995) Jennifer Love Hewitt (1996) and BareNaked (2002).
After her role on Party of Five, Jennifer was cast as the iconic Audrey Hepburn in the TV movie The Audrey Hepburn Story. In 2001 Jennifer starred along side Sigourney Weaver in the comedy Heartbreakers. The following year she landed the role of smart scientist Del Blaine in the Jackie Chan action comedy Tuxedo.
 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | Heartbreakers |
When Jennifer turned 26 she returned to TV with her lead role in the Emmy nominated series Ghost Whisperer. With five seasons on the show from 2005 to 2010, her character Melinda Gordon, a spiritual medium who communicates with the dead is one of Hewitt's most memorable TV characters.
When it comes to things that go bump in the night, Jennifer is an uber-believer.
Jennifer: "There are people that are working on this show who don't believe, and then there's me who's like an uber-believer. I'm a believer. I've had a couple (of experiences) that have made me believe. I'm sort of a control freak and for me death is a concept that's always been very difficult. Now I'm like, 'Wait a minute, I go on (in the spirit world)'. If there really is a different adventure afterwards, then that is a lovely thought."
 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | Ghost Whisperer |
Two months after the final episode of Ghost Whisperer aired, Jennifer was already back on TV starring in the sexy and scandalous Lifetime TV movie The Client List.
With the success of this film, The Client List became a TV series with two seasons airing on Lifetime Network. Along with her lead role, Hewitt also served as Executive Producer on the show from 2012 to 2013 and even directed the season finale.
Jennifer: "We had joked around, when we were doing the movie, about how fun it would be to turn this into a series and really get in deeper with the lives of the women in the spa and everything. So, when the movie did really well, I talked it over with everybody and said, "Let's pitch it and see what they think," and here we are."
 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | The Client List |
Female empowerment drew Love Hewitt to her role as Riley Parks in The Client List.
Jennifer: "I just thought it was really interesting, even with the movie. I think it's interesting to create empowerment in a woman, who essentially could feel powerless and who could find herself in danger and could look at the situation she's in, if she wanted to, as not very empowering. This is actually very powerful. She's making decisions and she's making them consciously, and she's growing sexually, emotionally, physically and mentally, in this job. She's connecting, in a real, human way... I was really interested in that. I just thought that that was really cool, and a neat message to send out."
 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | The Client List |
Jennifer: "I've always wanted to be a mom. I had a great relationship with mine. I'm ready to pass on to my child all the great love that my mom had for me."
Jennifer balanced motherhood with acting starring in 23 episodes of the TV crime drama Criminal Minds from 2014 to 2015.
 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt pregnant with daughter Autumn |
19 months after Autumn was born, Jennifer and Brian welcomed Atticus James. Their baby boy arrived on June 24th 2015 with Jennifer describing her 2nd pregnancy as 'magical'.
Jennifer: "I'm grateful. It's not lost on me what a gift it is to be able to get pregnant."
Jennifer took a break from acting when her son arrived to focus on family.
Jennifer: "I needed to take time off so I could enjoy being a kid with my kids and it's been really fun to do that. I feel like my kids make me better. They make you have to be a better person everyday. Everything becomes very clear. Anything that you thought was dramatic before, or really mattered before your kids, just doesn't when you have them."
 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt | 9-1-1 |
After her break from acting to raise her two children, last year Jennifer joined the cast for season 2 of the heart pounding FOX drama 9-1-1. Hewitt will reprise her role as 9-1-1 call centre operator Maddie Kendall when Season 2 continues with exciting and intense new episodes in 2019.
Jennifer: "I really enjoyed the break, and I feel like now, the last few months, have gone back into acting, it's really done a beautiful thing for me in that it's made everything that I do in my acting/entertainment life not less important but less like, "It's everything all the time," like it used to be. I also feel like I have new things to pull from as an actress that I didn't have before."
 |
| Jennifer Love Hewitt & Brian Hallisay | The Client List |
Brian Hallisay played Jennifer's husband on The Client List and this year the two will celebrate their 6th wedding anniversary. In 2019 the couple will co-star once again when Brian guest stars on two upcoming episodes of 9-1-1.
Jennifer's hubby Brian will play Maddie's abusive ex-husband Doug Kendall.
Jennifer: "It was just lovely to go to work together... We both had never been able to play characters like this in our careers, these characters with dark, twisted things to them. And, so, that's been really fun for us. I've been really proud of him because I had no idea he is so creepy. It's been really nice to have him there."
Jennifer grew up on TV! From her television debut on Kids Incorporated in 1989 to Party of Five in 1995. Jennifer is the golden girl of drama TV. From Ghost Whisperer to The Client List, Criminal Minds to 9-1-1, her 30 year career has established Jennifer Love Hewitt as a Hollywood TV icon!
As an actress, producer, director, singer, mother and wife Jennifer Love Hewitt embodies confidence, female empowerment and strength.
Jennifer Love Hewitt gets our heart racing, when 9-1-1 returns to channel 7 on Monday April 22nd.

ECO ANGEL: Jordana Brewster
Jordana Brewster Her beauty secret weapon
ECO ANGEL
Actress, mother and beauty ambassador Jordana Brewster shares her skincare routine, 4 beauty truths, balancing motherhood with acting and her most iconic role as Mia Toretto.
Jordana was born in Panama in 1980 and began her career as a teen daytime soap opera actress in 1995 starring in As World Turns Turns. Three years later she made her feature film debut in Kevin Williamson's The Faculty in 1998 as cheerleader Delilah along side Ejilah Wood.
Life in the fast lane. Jordana's big break came in 2001 starring opposite Paul Walker and Vin Diesel in the street racing action flick The Fast And The Furious. Did you know, when Jordana was first cast in the role of Mia Toretto she didn't even have a driver's license.
Jordana: "I lived in New York. I had to take driving lessons in New York, which were really weird because it's not the safest thing in the world. Then the producers and the cast went to Vegas for driving school, and that was really intense because I had just got my license."
Unaware of the impact the original Fast & Furious film would make on audiences, 21 year old Jordana took a break from acting and returned to college, graduating from Yale with a bachelor in English in 2003. The Yale grad returned to her Hollywood career, starring in four films including the naval academy drama Annapolis. In 2009 she reprised her iconic role as Mia Toretto in Fast & Furious 4 reuniting with co-stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Michelle Rodriguez.
Jordana: "In the first one I'm more of a wallflower and it's much more of a girlfriend-type role, but in [Fast & Furious 4] I'm more of a woman. She's far more though. I deal with the repercussions of living in my brother's world. It was much more fun to play her this time because I got to evolve the character a little bit."
In 2009 Jordana Brewster was ranked No. 9 in Maxim's Hot 100 and appeared in a sexy photoshoot spread for the racy men's magazine.

Mia Toretto certainly made an impression on audiences and Jordana was cast in three additional Fast and Furious movies sequels - Fast Five (2011) Fast & Furious 6 (2013) and Furious 7 (2015). After the sudden death of her co-star and on-screen love interest Paul Walker on November 30th 2013, film producers continued production and filming of Furious 7 with the help of Paul's brothers.
Furious 7 was released in cinemas on April 1, 2015 and included a heartfelt tribute to the late actor and a bitter sweet send off, retiring Paul and Jordana's characters Brian and Mia.
Jordana: "I can't express what he meant to me or what the impact of him being gone has had on my life in one quote, because I loved Paul so much. What Paul had was the gift of being really present to everyone around him. He didn't get wrapped up in the stuff that so many people in the industry do. So I was just so blessed to know him at all."

Action and acting.
After starring in five blockbuster Fast and Furious films, Jordana returned to acting on the small screen in 2016 with a main role in the action comedy TV series Lethal Weapon. Based on the popular 90's buddy cop movies, Jordana plays Dr Maureen Cahill, the police department's resident psychologist.
Jordana: "I love the original 'Lethal Weapon' with Mel Gibson and I love Rene Russo as well so it's really exciting."
Lethal Weapon - Jordana Brewster
Balance and babies.
These days Jordana resides in Los Angeles with her husband, movie producer Andrew Form and two sons.
Andrew and Jordana met on the set of her 2005 horror flick The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and married in 2007 in the Bahamas.
The couple have two adorable children together. 5 year old Julian (born September 10, 2013) and their son Rowan who just celebrated his 2nd birthday was born on June 6, 2016 via gestational surrogate.
Jordana: "I couldn't carry a baby... at first, I was scared. I had no idea what it entailed. Then I started researching agencies. I met with one called Agency for Surrogacy Solution. Most of the people who worked there had used surrogacy to have a child or been a surrogate themselves, so I felt like they really got it. [Surrogacy] taught me a lot to have to rely on someone else to carry my baby for me, because I'm such a private and self-sufficient person. It's the most intimate leap of faith and trust you can take."

Jordana loves her role as busy working mum.
Jordana: "What's so wonderful about motherhood is that you're constantly busy. There's so much to do and I don't miss idle time at all. I prefer live after Julian, for sure. Everyday I fall deeper and deeper in love with this amazing gift. I'm in awe everyday."

Busy mums need on the go beauty, so she teamed up with Ponds to become their official spokeswoman. Jordana inherits her beauty from her mother Maria João, a former Brazilian swimsuit model who first introduced her to Ponds skincare.
Jordana: "I've been using the line for many, many years, because my mom introduced me to them. I use the Cold Cream but my favourite now is the Pond's Towelettes. As a busy mum they are perfect for my lifestyle. A perfect on-the-go tool for me."
Ponds's Cold Cream removes makeup and improves skin's moisture, texture and smothness. Unlike ordinary makeup removers, Pond's Cold Cream is 50% moisturiser. It melts away all traces of your toughest makeup, while infusing skin with vital hydration. Clean, soft, glowing skin - all in one step!

Her secret to the Brewster glow, you ask? Pond's Hydrate + Glow Sheet Masks.
Developed by The Pond's Institute and formulated with papaya extract, vitamin B3 and vitamin E, Hydrate + Glow Sheet Mask hydrates skin leaving it feeling dewy fresh and looking radiant.
Jordana: "Hydrate + Glow Sheet Mask is my favourite. They are super hydrating and luxurious, but the beauty of them is that you can literally put them on and move, give your baby the bottle, without you having to soak in the tube if you don't have time. I'm Brazilian, I love being bronzed and tan. I honestly love my skin looking like JLo's. During the winter months I noticed that I look a little more pale, especially when you have the heater on and you can be a little dehydrated. I like that they give you an extra boost, and makes me feel better about my skin."
When it comes to glamour, Jordana says it's all about dramatic lips and lots of lashes!
Jordana: "I love doing a dramatic lip. Very, very deep lips and then going very light in the eyes. But the other thing I really like is using tons of fake lashes, because I think it does such a huge difference."

Jordana's Beauty Truths
Truth #1 Your car mirror never lives.
Jordana: "I just check 'em out in the rearview mirror and am like, 'Now is time to tweeze. I used to get made fun of in middle school for my giant caterpillar eyebrows. Now thick eyebrows are in. On a day-to-day basis I don't fill them in. I do that with a makeup artist."
Truth #2 Your skin is thirsty. Hydrate it.
On top of drinking plenty of H20 every day, Jordana swears by Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream for years to maintain her radiant skin.
Jordana: "I loved growing up in a very humid climate in Brazil and New York, because it kept my skin so hydrated. But California is so much dryer. It's just what my skin needs, so I don't need to switch up my routine often. I have been using Pond's Rejuvenates for so many years and have really seen it pay off."
Jordana: "If you're swimming in the pool or ocean, use any oil - like coconut oil or almond oil - as a mask for the day. Put it in your hair, then throw your hair up in high bun. It looks so good and also gives your hair a great treatment."
Truth #4 And oil is your friend elsewhere.
Jordana says incorporating natural oils into your beauty routine works wonders. Lately, Brewster's been gravitating towards coconut oil as a body moisturiser, too.
Jordana: "I put it on right after I get out of the shower when my skin is still a little damp. I even use coconut oil as a gloss sometimes. It's just so good."

The secret to smooth, effortless, beautiful hair she loves? Marajo Hair.
MARAJÓ hair care inspired by the beauty of Brazil, features pracaxi oil; a key ingredient found on the island of Marajó in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon.
Jordana: "If you want smoother, healthier hair -- you'll love MARAJÓ! I couldn't believe the difference it made. I love the deep cleansing cream. It's my first step. And then the deep treatment butter which is essential because I love colouring my hair. It's a way of having fun with my hair. So the deep treatment butter kind of saves me."
Jordana's go to hair trick? A pretty braid.
Jordana: "I have learned to get really pretty texture you can put your hair in a braid. Because my hair has different textures. What I like to do is. I will put my hair in a low loose braid then put serum. I love the Marajo Anti Frizz Serum. I will put that all over the top of my head so I don't have alot of fly-a-ways. That will be super soothe, then I will put the braid on the bottom, because I really like texture on the bottom. Texture on top not so cute."

Jordana's tip for frizz-free hair? Marajó Anti-Frizz Smoothing Serum
Jordana: "I use the Anti Frizz Serum. I love serums. The more oil. The more hair serums you put in your hair, the more your hair loves you. So that's what I use in my hair to keep it from frizzing."
Cleanse and restore your hair with the miracle oil from Brazil. Marajó hair care products are available at Sephora.

What's in Jordana Brewster's bag?
- Snacks. First and foremost, I always have snacks. So I've got a granola bar. One of my favourites is the one from Trader Joe’s.
- Gum and Mints. I love having fresh breath, so I also have gum and mints, which I always need on hand.
- Sweater. When you're flying on airplanes, you never know when it's going to be cold, when it's going to be warm… so I've got the sweater on hand.
- Phone. I have my cell phone, which I can't live without. Because, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to talk to my kids.
- Cold Cream. When I'm traveling, I love carrying this smaller size of Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser. It's just a super easy way to clean my face.
- Lip Balm. My favourite lip balm is… Dr. Hauschkaz which I've been obsessed with for many years. It's like super moisturising. Again, I'm all about moisture and yummy texture. So I love my Dr. Hauschkaz lip balm.
- Eyedrops.
- Blush. This blush is one of my favourites. It's actually Tory Burch and it's such a pretty pink. I use it on my cheeks and my lips, and it's just something that's super easy. Because you put it on your fingertips, and then rub it on your face. And so, it's kinda full proof which I love.
- Baby Wipes. One thing I can't live without that I always have in my bag, whether it's baby wipes or Ponds wipes for my face. I think wipes are so versatile, cause you can use them on your face. You can use them to wash your hands. Especially when your traveling, they're just great to have on hand.
- Big Bag. And I also, obviously I think it's super important, to have a giant bag, because I carry so much. So I always say my bags are like Mary Poppin's bags, cause they're so big.

The future is fast.
After the release of the 8th fast instalment The Fate of the Furious in 2017, the lack of Brian and Mia's story line impacted audiences and resulted in Jordana's welcomed return to the fast franchise. She will return as Mia Toretto in the upcoming sequel Fast and Furious 9 scheduled for release on April 10, 2020.
Jordana: "Yes, in 2020 is coming a new 'Fast'. Can't wait to get back together with everyone, because I miss everyone and I love working with the 'Fast' family."
