Caroline Rhea proved age is just a number with her recent birthday photos showing off her youthful appearance. The ‘90s TV star looked breathtakingly gorgeous in a low-cut bright pink suit, and a lacy push-up bra underneath that accentuated her bosom. She struck a pose with her hands on her hips, as she smiled to the camera with her lush blonde hair falling to her shoulders. The iconic actress also kept her makeup cute with pink lips, some eyeliner and eyeshadow, and subtle brows. The Sabrina the Teenage Witch star— who played Hilda Spellman on the ABC hit show, also took snaps in a witch hat and black top, with drawings of a spider’s web across her face.
The mother of one also shared a throwback photo of herself and some family in the carousel and the post soon received over 15,000 likes. Rhea’s fans took to the comments to wish her a happy birthday and gush about her stunning and “incredible” look.

After a successful run in comedy, Rhea set her sights on film and moved to Los Angeles from New York, co-starring alongside Jeremy Piven on NBC’s Pride & Joy. She then got her breakthrough role in Sabrina The Teenage Witch, which she is most popular for decades later. In the mid-2000s, Rhea starred in cult classics like Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire and Christmas with the Kranks, as well as the Disney Channel original hit show, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.
Following impressive success in comedy and film, Rhea still makes on-screen appearances like her current part in Disney Channel’s Sydney to the Max. She also has her game show, Caroline and Friends, which she hosts on the Game Show Network. Working with other celebrities, Rhea is a regular on Alec Baldwin’s Match Game, and often makes appearances on Hollywood Squares and Funny You Should Ask.
With many years spent in the entertainment industry, Rhea addressed the topic of aging in Hollywood with Hilaria Baldwin in 2022, admitting that she “has no shame in it.” She also addressed criticism women her age face on social media, advising not to “engage with them” and “empower them.”
Who was Caroline Rhea married to?
Although Rhea has never been married, she shares a daughter with her ex-boyfriend and fellow comedian Costaki Economopoulos, with whom she tried to conceive for most of their time together. The estranged duo welcomed baby Ava in October 2008, months after Rhea turned 44. Rhea and Costaki have remained jolly friends since they split in 2012, and Rhea was kind enough to pay a Father’s Day tribute to him last year.
Years later Rhea dated her co-star Gary Lee Sandy, who also appeared in TV sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati as program director Andy Travis. During a sit down with Kelly Ripa and Mark Conseulos on Live With Kelly and Mark, Rhea addressed what “dating is like in Los Angeles” with a laugh, saying it is “humiliating,” before narrating her ordeal with her guy who was decades younger than her. “It’s so embarrassing, I don’t understand any of the texting,” she added. “It’s just awful.”

Being a doting mom, Rhea celebrated her daughter’s 15th birthday last October with a sweet Instagram tribute. She also shared adorable photos of Ava from childhood to recent ones, as well as a snap of their dog, Stella, whom Rhea let “eat one of your Birthday cards.” Fans wished the teenage girl a happy birthday and recalled her younger days. “I remember when you had her! Time sure does fly. I also remember how much you missed her when we did the Del Shores Show. I believe the theater was in Chicago. Even though you missed her so much. We still had fun! Happy Birthday to your beautiful Ava!” someone gushed.
