The 36-year-old was adopted by Jamie Lee and Christopher shortly after her birth. “We were married in 1984 and adopted Annie in 1986 in an open adoption,” the actress detailed. “It probably was different for us than for most others. There’s something that happens to other people when you become very, very famous. It’s a look in their eyes — they’re afraid to look straight at you; they treat you like royalty; they’re very self-conscious. But when we met Annie’s birth mother and she said, ‘Hi, I’m happy to meet you,’ it was like boom, it was OK. I knew we could adopt." Annie is a professional dancer and dance instructor and works at MNR Dance Factory in Los Angeles. She wed her partner Jason Wolf in 2019. The joyful Jamie took time out to celebrate her daughter on her Instagram page. “A spectacular celebration yesterday at our home for the marriage between our daughter Annie and Jason Wolf,” she wrote in the post. “A loving, familial blending with laughs and tears and truth.” Ruby Guest Instagram Ruby, Jamie’s youngest daughter. was born in March 1996. Jamie Lee explained that the adoption of Ruby was unique due to some events that occurred at her birth. In her 1997 interview with Pact’s Point Of View newsletter, she said, “It was serendipitous and involved a friend of mine who died last year. Five or six events came together, all of which resulted in our family growing within four days.” The 26-year-old, who now works as a computer gaming editor, came out as transgender in 2020. In October 2021, Ruby spoke with PEOPLE about how she felt about revealing her truth. “It was scary — just the sheer fact of telling them something about me they didn’t know,” she revealed. “It was intimidating — but I wasn’t worried. They had been so accepting of me my entire life.” Ruby tied the knot with her partner, Kynthia, in 2022 in a cosplay-themed ceremony. Curtis took to Instagram to celebrate the newlyweds."YES THEY DO AND DID! MARRIED!” she wrote.
