Jennie Garth Reveals She Made Her Daughter Lolas Prom Dress

Jennie Garth is an American actress popularly known for starring as Kelly Taylor throughout the Beverly Hills, 90210 franchise and Val Tyler on the sitcom What I Like About You.

She was born on 3 April 1972 in Urbana, Illinois, USA, to John and Carolyn Garth as Jennifer Eve Garth. She is the youngest of the seven children though being the only children of John and Carolyn together. The actress has had many trials and tribulations but always cleared them with a strong determination which led her to become an admiring person to many people.

Jennie Garth Married Life And Kids

Jennie Garth was introduced to actor David Abrams in the autumn of 2014 on a blind date, and they announced their engagement in April 2015. They married in July that same year. In 2017, they decided to separate but were later reconciled after ten months apart.

Jennie Garth has portrayed herself in Beverly Hills, 90210, as a somewhat fictional version of herself.

But coming on-screen, Jennie had two divorces, and she almost had her third divorce made the headlines in the news. However, Garth turned it all the way around and saved her marriage to Dave Abrams.

Around the year 2018, Jennie found out that Dave filed a divorce against their marriage, and she thought of making it a funny topic as she spoke to PEOPLE magazine. But in her self-perspective case, more than wanting it to be funny, she was “devastated” and “embarrassed” to find herself facing divorce once again, after her 1996 break from musician Daniel Clark and her 2013 split from actor Peter Facinelli.

So, looking into the case herself, Jennie thought that they “rushed it too much,” and then it came to bite them back. But, eventually, she accepted that their relationship was really over, which gave them some individual time to grow and be together again.

Months later, they started spending time together, as they shared the growth they had during their time apart and began to see each other as a whole different person. Then it concluded with reconciliation as Abrams filed a petition to dismiss the divorce case in February 2019.

Garth and Abrams tied the knot in July 2015 at Garth’s six-acre ranch in Los Olivos, California. As for the duo’s first official holiday as a married couple, they planned to invite Abrams’ family back to her ranch for Thanksgiving and for themselves, they planned to rent a house in Colorado. While Garth was revealing in her new blended marriage, she also shared about Abrams’ rising challenge with her daughters. But, it seems to have adjusted in its own way, and the family became a “so tight-knit” one.

Before her relationship with Dave started, she was married to actor Peter Facinelli from 2001 to 2013. The former couple shared three children together named Luca (born in 1997), Lola (born in 2002), and Fiona (born in 2006). She once spoke to PEOPLE about her children and admitted that raising teenagers is a “whole different ball game.”

She explained that now her daughters were taking the shape of what they want to do and become as they are growing up, and she has to be there to support them in the right direction. However, sometimes they do butt heads. “When you’re a parent, I could breathe the wrong way, and it would be like the end of the world,” Jennie joked. “But for the most part, they think I’m pretty cool, and we can hang out.”

As for her first marriage, she tied the knot with Daniel B. Clark in 1994. The actors were together for two years before mutually agreeing to a split in 1996.

Jennie Garth Reveals She Made Her Daughter Lola’s Prom Dress

Jennie Garth is quite the proud mom and seemingly talented for her daughters.

On 3 June 2021, Jennie revealed that she made her 18-year-old daughter Lola’s prom dress from scratch as she showcased the results on her Instagram page.

The post showed a photo of Lola wearing a strapless black gown with matching heels, a statement necklace, and a corsage as she posed with her prom date. “Prom fun,” as she wrote in the caption, adding another picture of Lola and her friends enjoying a pre-prom dinner.

She further captioned: “Ok, so tbh when my daughter said ‘ I wanna make my prom dress’ she really meant ‘Mom I want you to make my prom dress’ Guys, sweing isn’t my thing!! But somehow I pulled it off!”

She continued, “The thing is, she could have asked me to buy her some fancy dress but she wanted it to be homemade. She wanted that. I dunno, it just makes me proud. And it made her so proud to be able to say “my Mom made my dress.” She looked beautiful, she felt beautiful… mission accomplished! Happy prom my sweet @rarlolaray and @gabebregman. We had so much fun hosting this special night for you and your friends Next up …graduation!”

The actress also took to her Instagram Story, as she posted a shot of herself posing with Lola and husband Dave and drew a red heart around the trio.

Net Worth And Career Of Jennie Garth

With her works in several entertainment industry projects, Jennie Garth has collected up significantly huge wealth for herself. She is noted to have a net worth of $8 million as of 2020, per CelebrityNetWorth.

In her teenage days as the cast member of Beverly Hills, 90210, she got to earn enough for her family to go through the financial burdens. Then she went on to add up to it from her roles in several TV shows and movies. However, most of what the public knows about Garth’s finances comes from divorce papers as an agreement with Peter Facinelli in 2013 to share a bank account for their three kids.

Moreover, Garth is a real estate maven, having sold her house after renovations for $4.4775 million back in 2019, which was originally bought for just $2 million. She also sells a Mom Gift Box through QVC, which costs $99.99 per piece.

Being an actress in Hollywood, she has credited her name to several TV shows and movies. Some of them being Beverly Hills, 90210, What I Like About You, 90210, Mystery Girls, Community, The Street, Dancing with the Stars, Watching The Detectives, Just Perfect, Falling For You, Domino, Without Consent, Girl, Positive, and A Time To Dance to name a few.

Jennie began her acting career in 1989 when she appeared as Erica McCray in the television series Brand New Life. She then landed her role of Kelly Taylor in Beverly Hills, 90210, in which she played for the next ten years. She also directed two episodes of the show.

Her success in Beverly Hills, 90210, opened several opportunities for her. She started acting in films and appeared in Danielle Steel’s Star in 1993, which followed up with her role in Lies of the Heart: The Story of Laurie Kellogg, Without Consent, and such. She appeared in two feature films: the HBO feature film Power 98 in 1996 and a political drama film titled My Brother’s War in 1997. She also voiced Kelly Taylor in the 2005 direct-to-DVD adult animated comedy film Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.

After featuring in several TV shows and movies in small and big roles, she appeared in the fifth season of Dancing with the Stars in 2007, where she made it to the semifinals. After continuing her acting career in the industry, she starred in her own reality show, The Jennie Garth Project, in 2014.

In that same year, 2014, she released her memoir Deep Thoughts From a Hollywood Blonde by collaborating with the New American Library (NAL), a division of Penguin Group. Then, in May 2017, she launched MomGiftBox.com, an online subscription box of products to inspire and pamper mothers.

The same year, she was seen as a guest judge in the ninth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race, a reality show produced by World of Wonder for Logo TV. The same year, she also appeared in a game show titled Celebrity Family Feud. In 2019, she co-produced and starred in BH90210, the sixth series in the Beverly Hills 90210 franchise.

Garth once discussed with fellow Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star Toru Spelling about the reboot of the series in 2008, which was titled 90210. But she hadn’t any good things to say to the reboot’s cast during the interview with Just Jenny, and she explained that they didn’t have “that chemistry” to create the amazing scenes in the show. And maybe she was right, as it was canceled after its fifth season due to abysmal ratings, but either way, bashing other actors isn’t the right way to get on the industry’s good side.

In an interview with Parade, the actress also spoke about how she loved being in front of the camera, “but it’s all the other moments that I don’t enjoy. The ‘business’ aspect of it, the gossip.” To put a fine point on it, Garth said she disliked about “99 percent” of her job as an actress. So, considering her comments on the entertainment business of bashing into other actors and having a huge dissatisfaction with her work as an actress, Hollywood might not recruit her to work in the industry anymore.
