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.

Laura Anderson opens up on her parenting struggle with daughter Bonnie

Radio and TV personality Laura Anderson has opened up to her social media followers admitting she is 'struggling' as she experiences the 'hardest' week of parenting so far. Laura Anderson has opened up revealing that she is struggling with her 22 month old daughter Bonnie. The radio star uploaded an honest and heartfelt update on social media saying this has been her "hardest week of parenthood so far." The Scots influencer admitted she's trying to find her feet as a mother to a nearly two year old in today's society, comparing her parenting skills to her parents in the 80s and 90s as she struggles with ' gentle parenting.' ‌ Laura took to Instagram sharing a series of snaps and videos of her week, including a trip to the beach with Bonnie and her mum and snaps of Bonnie enjoying a day at the circus with her boyfriend, footballer Clarke Robertson. ‌ The 36-year-old opened up in the caption, as she wrote: "These may be images of love, laughter and core memories being made recently but the truth behind the smiles is - I'm struggling." "This has been the hardest week of parenthood so far for me. Bonnie is coming up for 22 months and a lot has changed and keeps changing. I don't know who my daughter is some days, I don't recognise her which has led to my dip in confidence communicating and or disciplining my own child (especially in public)," she admitted. She continued, diving into the world of gentle parenting: "I'm scared of responding in the wrong way, I'm scared of making a mistake because what if it teaches her long lasting bad behaviours?! And let's be honest if you grew up in the 80s/90s like me, gentle parenting didn't exist. We got smacked (no offence to my parents) and now it's illegal." "So I guess you could say I'm trying to find my place as a mother somewhere in between." ‌ "We also talk about the 'juggle' but It's so much more than that. It's the responsibility of choosing a priority every second of the day because we simply can't do it all. I love my child but this is inevitably the hardest 'job' I've ever had (and I've had a lot of jobs)." The social media star concluded the post in a positive light, revealing: "My new mantra though, is- 'show me how good it can get' So without wishing my daughter's childhood away or those precious bonding turning point/learning curve moments. I hope 'this' ie tantrums…too shall pass." Laura shares daughter Bonnie with ex-boyfriend Gary Lucy, and has regularly spoke about the struggles of single parenting. Laura and Gary split before Bonnie was even born, with the star labelling him as a "deadbeat dad" after revealing he barely sees his young daughter. ‌ Fans were quick to take to the comments showing their support, and praising Laura for being so open. One fan simply stated: "We're all wingin' it," alongside a red heart emoji. Whilst another expressed: "I hear you and applaud you for sharing," and a third shared: "Love how genuine and honest you are Laura. Parenthood certainly ain't all plain sailing but you've got this beautiful mama, even if it feels like you don't sometimes, that's a normal part of parenthood but you do n you're such a great mammy to beautiful Bonnie."

Netflix is adding a special live channel at no extra cost for 700 MILLION users – and it won't show a single ad

NETFLIX is adding a very special live channel for 700 million users and it's completely free. The channel is part of a partnership with a world-famous brand and won't show a single advert. 3 Netflix are adding a brand new channel to its platforms for free Credit: Reuters 3 The channel will show incredible space missions Credit: Getty 3 Netflix are partnering with Nasa for the mission Credit: Alamy The streaming giant has teamed up with the iconic American space agency NASA. This summer, Netflix will be giving subscribers access to the NASA Plus channel which will broadcast the latest space news. Watch the astronauts in space According to NASA, the channel will also show everything including 'astronaut spacewalks, mission coverage, and breathtaking live views of Earth from the International Space Station'. Rebecca Simons, the general manager of NASA Plus, has said: 'Our Space Act of 1958 calls on us to share our story of space exploration with the broadest possible audience. Read More on Space News MARS-VELLOUS Inside Nasa's fake Mars world where astronauts will live for a YEAR 'Together, we're committed to a Golden Age of Innovation and Exploration — inspiring new generations — right from the comfort of their couch or in the palm of their hand from their phone.' The streaming giant has over 700 million users worldwide, meaning that over eight per cent of the planet's population will be able to watch space launches for free. Netflix hiked the cost of its subscription in April in a bid to raise revenue. Those with a standard membership saw their bills rise to £12.99 a month, while premium members now pay £18.99. The standard version with adverts also saw an increase in its cost by £1 to £5.99. Cost-saving experts warned that you could save up to £95.88 a year by ditching your Netflix plan and choosing a TV package which includes it. Rocket FINALLY launches to rescue NASA astronauts stranded for nine months Virgin Media, EE TV and Sky all offer packages with Netflix included. Some phone contracts, including Inclusive Extra on EE plans, offer Netflix too. First-ever exoplanet uncovered The streaming service's partnership with NASA comes after scientists made a major space discovery. The James Webb Space Telescope uncovered its first-ever exoplanet - a world hidden by the glare of its nearest star. Named TWA 7 b, the mysterious world is hidden in the disks of debris surrounding the huge star. It is roughly equivalent to the size of Saturn. After the incredible discovery was made, Dr Caroline Harper, head of space science at the UK Space Agency, said: 'This discovery represents a significant breakthrough in our understanding of exoplanets. "Direct imaging of these distant worlds is extraordinarily challenging as they're typically overwhelmed by the brilliant light of their host stars. "While JWST has been studying known exoplanets since its commissioning, this marks the first time it has detected an entirely new planet."
