Jennifer Paige - the voice behind 1998's chart-topping smash "Crush" - who wowed fans with her age-defying looks in a recent Instagram post.
She wrote: "New music and art projects on the horizon. My hubby's art will be released on Friday, as well.
"Very happy for him, as it's been a long time in the making. I'll share it here so you can let him know what you think! Let's go, men! 👏 You were born for greatness."
Fans took to the comment section shocked to see her looking as ageless as ever, with one writing: "You still look just as beautiful."
Another added: "Wow! You were the soundtrack to my 5 year old self & you haven't aged a day! 🔥 thank you for sharing your talent with the world."
A third penned: "You look exactly like you did in 1998!"
Jennifer's song 'Crush' shot to No 1 in 16 countries and sold 11 million copies.
It then went on to become the station's most requested song of the summer.
Crush was also the top three Billboard chart hit in the US, while in the UK it listed in the top 10.
Her debut album was released the same year and Jennifer went on to record three more - although they failed to gain the same traction as her first.

She even recorded a duet with Backstreet Boy Nick Carter called "Beautiful Lie", featured on the deluxe edition of her 2008 album Best Kept Secret.
Once dropped into semi-retirement after chart success, Jennifer faced childhood heartbreak, melanoma and the loss of both parents in 2008.
She later retreated from fame, moved into song writing for commercials, charity music and podcasts.
She then eventually crowdfunded a comeback album, Starflower, in 2017.
Jennifer is married to artist Jason 'Hawk' Carter.
The couple tied the knot in 2010 and have a daughter named Stella Rose, born on October 5, 2014.
Jason made a surprise cameo in Jennifer's 2017 music video for "The Devil's in the Details."
The original actor dropped out, meaning he had to step in last minute.
The American star still has her blonde hair and regular posts on her Instagram account.

Amy Childs feels like 'the luckiest girl in the world' as she shows new addition

The Only Way Is Essex star Amy Childs and her fiancé Billy Delbosq have recently added a swanky new addition to their glamorous family home, with Amy showing it off today Amy Childs has said that she feels like "the luckiest girl in the world" as she showed off her new house addition. The TV star took to her Instagram stories where she shared a video of her new pool in her back garden. Amy showed off her new pool as walked around the garden to tell followers about the lavish addition. She captioned the post: "I have just come and sit here by the pool feeling the luckiest girl in the world." ‌ She then tagged her partner Billy and said "It's coming together". The next story then showed Amy's kids enjoying the heatwave and playing in the pool. ‌ Amy has recently been under the spotlight due to her weight loss. She has revealed the real reason behind it as she said that "people don't know what is going on behind closed doors." Speaking exclusively to OK!, Amy addressed the recent speculation about her weight loss and the vicious trolling she's been put through as a result of it., following her mum's heart attack. She said: "People don't know what is going on behind closed doors. "I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack." Amy added: "People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids. ‌ "But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge. "It's so unfair – it shouldn't matter what size people are. Imagine if I was really happy and healthy this way? I've been open about losing too much, but I'm working towards putting some back on now." Amy has also addressed rumours that she had been using weight loss injections. She has denied this but has said she tried it once 18 months ago, but that is all. ‌ She said that the jab made her feel "so, so ill" and threw up three of four times as a result. Amy said the side effects "scared" her so much that she stopped using it "immediately". Amy said that she went to a private doctor with the hope of losing some weight. She had her weight and blood pressure checked during a consultation before being prescribed the injections which started at the lowest dose. However, Amy then chose to change her lifestyle instead. She began training and eating a healthy diet as she has worked with Freya from Potentia who is an online weight-loss coach based in Dubai.

Traitors star Claudia seen without eyeliner in candid photo from hospital bed

The Traitors host Claudia Winkleman has warned fans not to zoom in on her eye as she posts a candid pic from hospital bed. Mostly recognised for her iconic block fringe and eyeliner, Claudia Winkleman is being forced to change her look as she revealed that she had recently undergone eye surgery. As a result, the TV presenter won't be able to wear her staple eyeliner for the coming weeks as she recovers. On Friday night, the 53-year-old posted on Instagram a makeup free photo of herself and her doctor as she revealed she had surgery on her eye. Posing without her usual fake tan and heavy eye makeup, Claudia warned fans not to zoom into her eye as she shared that it's 'wonky'. ‌ Along with the picture, Claudia told her followers: "This amazing human makes me see. He's operated on my eyes before and he did it again today. No eyeliner for weeks and I sleep in goggles (no words) but I'm eternally grateful. ‌ "Do NOT zoom in on my left eye - it's wonky. Thank you Julian. I paid for the treatment, this isn't an ad. I just love him. It's very possible I'm still a bit sedated. Night night." One of the first to comment was Googlebox's Izzi Warner, who said: "We still have the costume and Bobby is willing to wear the eye liner for you if you need a stand in Claudia! Happy healing." Drag Race UK star Baga Chips also left praise for The Traitors host, writing: "You look beautiful Claudia." Also in the comments, one fan shared their experience with the same doctor. They said: "He did my eye surgery about 8 years ago! Played rock music as he did it. He told me it would be life changing and he was right. Amazing man!" ‌ Claudia informed her fans of her health update just days after she was made a MBE - Member of the Order of the British Empire - at the King Charles III's birthday honours. Alongside Strictly Come Dancing co-host Tess Daley, Claudia was honoured for her services to broadcasting. The new MBE said: "I am incredibly grateful to receive this honour. It's a real privilege to work with extraordinarily talented people and I have only got this because of them. ‌ "So this is for the BBC, the traitors and the faithful, for pianos and for the cha cha. I will buy a hat and am taking my mum. I am ridiculously lucky and will celebrate with Tess by doing a paso doble." As for her career in TV, the mum of three studied history of art at Cambridge University and began working as a TV and radio presenter after she graduated. She has fronted many BBC TV shows, such as Comic Relief and The Great British Sewing Bee. In 2004, Claudia became the presenter of Strictly's weekday companion show It Takes Two. However, she passed the mantle over to Zoe Ball when she took on the role of co-host for the Sunday night results show with Tess Daley. ‌ Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

I blamed my blurry eye on a hangover. In fact it was the first sign of a problem that could have blinded me... don't make my mistake: ANGELA EPSTEIN

The birthday party had been an absolute blast – from the gorgeous rooftop venue and endlessly flowing cocktails to a thumping set performed by an Eighties legend. Little wonder that on waking the next morning, with a slightly foggy curtain effect over my upper right eye, I just presumed the mix of booze and boogying was simply taking its toll.
