Side-By-Side Pics Prove Jami Gertz Is Aging Like Fine Wine

Jami Gertz turned 60 in 2025, but looks as stunning as ever, with her gorgeous gray hair transformation being one of the few visible reminders that she is aging. Throughout the years, Gertz has maintained her youthful appearance, displaying porcelain-like skin and taut facial features reminiscent of her younger days on television back in the '80s and '90s. Unlike some actors from the '90s that are totally unrecognizable now, Gertz is still familiar, marked by her infectious smile and girl next door good looks. If anything, it's proof that she's aging like fine wine.

The "Sixteen Candles" star, who stepped away from acting to focus on her family and an exciting new career as an NBA team co-owner, adopted a low profile lifestyle, preferring to embrace a life of normalcy. While many celebs facing the pressure of aging in Hollywood try to keep up with appearances by opting for excessive cosmetic procedures and skin rejuvenation treatments that alter their image, Gertz has taken a more natural approach to aging. She seems the least bit interested in age-defying remedies or maintaining a perpetually glammed-up appearance. We can't help but think that may be the very reason she looks as good as she does today — well-preserved, and polished — allowing her natural beauty to shine through as she ages.

In side-by-side photos (below), taken 13 years apart, Gertz's features haven't changed much — the first pic was taken in 2012, while the second snap was in 2025. The shape and structure of her face, her facial expression, and her smile remain remarkably similar. She has little to no visible wrinkles, sagging skin, or discoloration on her face, which is typically associated with aging in people over 60.

While Jami Gertz's side-by-side pics indicate she's aging remarkably well, they also suggest she may have put some effort into maintaining her appearance over the years. That said, a look at her lifestyle choices may help explain why she continues to impress us with such a youthful glow in her 60s.

Gertz was known to be a fitness enthusiast back in the '90s, and according to SELF, she has continued to stay physically fit and active through yoga and spinning. A 2023 study published by Wiley states that maintaining regular physical activity throughout life can help reduce signs of aging. While she has been known to indulge in occasional guilty pleasures — an iced latte in the morning, a cupcake, and a glass of wine at dinner, as per SELF — Gertz appears to balance those treats with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and an overall physically healthy lifestyle, as reflected in her unchanged lean physique and youthful appearance throughout the years.

After all, Gertz has continued to maintain a public profile to some extent, particularly as the face of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks. Though she has stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight, she has taken on a more visible role than her husband, principal owner Tony Ressler, representing the team at the NBA Draft Lottery and appearing on national television on behalf of the franchise. So naturally, it helps that she looks the part.
