Support from Fans Pouring In
After Christie’s bold statement, her loyal fans were quick to rally around her. One follower commented, “You look beautiful! Thank you for not using a filter. I wish more celebrities would do this so that we can normalize aging again.” And it’s not just about the looks—many fans shared personal stories about meeting Christie and how she radiates positivity in person. Another fan wrote, “I happened to see her out and about with her kids years ago and she was the most stunningly gorgeous person I have ever seen in real life. Like human sunshine!”
But what truly resonates with people is Christie’s inner beauty. “But what’s more important is that she’s lived her life beautifully—always creating art, expressing love and exuding positivity. That’s real beauty,” the fan added.
Christie’s Legacy of Inner Beauty
The Michigan native has always been a proponent of inner beauty, and she’s instilled that value in her three children: Alexa, Jack, and Sailor. Alexa, 37, once told People, “I just want to say something that makes my mom a really precious soul, very tender soul, is that she sees the beauty in everything. She has an endless zest and vivaciousness for life, like endless! She’s never tired. It amazes me because I never see her sleeping that much. But for some reason, she awakes perfectly refreshed and jubilant and a little slice of sunshine.”
Sailor echoed the sentiment in a recent interview with Closer. “Both of us are always connected to what we do,” the model and influencer said. “She’s a big inspiration in my life and career.” It’s clear that Christie’s positive energy is contagious and has left a lasting impact on her family and fans alike.
