Jamie Lee Curtis, 64, is well-known for her famous role as Laurie Strode in the classic film trilogy Halloween, where she has appeared since 1978. Her other notable projects include 1994’s True Lies, 2003’s Freaky Friday (in which she played Tess Coleman, the mother of Lindsay Lohan’s character), 2004’s Christmas with the Kranks, and many others.
Jamie earned her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2023 for her work as Deirdre Beaubeirdre in Everything Everywhere at Once. She took the opportunity to thank everyone who has helped her career, especially those who have watched her films for decades.
“I know it looks like I’m standing up here by myself, but I’m not, I am hundreds of people,” she continued, tears welling up in her eyes. “We just won an Oscar together!” Her husband, Christopher Guest, to whom she has been married for nearly 40 years, has been a constant source of encouragement throughout her career! Here’s everything you need to know about him, their marriage, and their family.
Who is Christopher Guest?
Jean Pauline Hindes and Peter Haden-Guest welcomed Christopher Haden-Guest into the world on February 5, 1948. The actor, writer, director, and musician was born into British nobility as the 5th Baron Haden-Guest. However, he no longer has the title due to “the House of Lords Act of 1999, which removed the right of most hereditary seats,” according to The US Sun.
He appeared in the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap alongside Rob Reiner, Michael McKean, and Fran Drescher. He has also worked on Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration, and other films. He also collaborated with other Hollywood giants, including Eugene Levy, Jennifer Coolidge, Catherine O’Hara, and others.

How Long Have Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest Been Married?
Their love began after Jamie saw Christopher in Rolling Stone magazine. It was then that she told her friend Debra Hill that she was “going to marry that man.” Debra made touch with Christopher’s agency and sought to connect the two, but Chris never called. Later, Jamie met Chris at a restaurant in West Hollywood, and he called her the next day. Two months later, the pair became engaged, and they married in 1984.
In 2018, the beauty revealed to Good Housekeeping the secret to her lengthy marriage.
“Don’t leave. There’s a recovery phrase that says, ‘Stay on the bus…the scenery will change.’ You think you’re having a bad week, but stay on the bus, because one of these days you’ll look out the window and it’ll be beautiful. I think it can apply to almost anything where you feel unhappy in that moment. I’m not a wild romantic. I’m a realist. I respect him. And I just don’t leave.”

Do Jamie and Chris Have Children?
After two years of marriage, Jamie and Christopher decided to start a family. Annie Guest, 36, the celebrity duo’s eldest daughter, was born in December 1986. Annie is also an actor. However, her IMDb page only lists one credit for the film For Your Consideration.
Ruby Guest, 26, was born in March 1996, a decade after their first child. In July 2021, the 63-year-old informed AARP that Ruby had come out as transgender. She stated that she and Christopher “have watched in wonder and pride as our son became our daughter Ruby. And she and her fiancé will get married next year at a wedding that I will officiate.”
Ruby does not work in Hollywood but rather as a computer game editor. Jamie is not a grandmother yet, but she is confident that one day she will be. “Not yet, but I do hope to,” she said at the time.
