Beverly Hills 90210's Jennie Garth hailed 'beautiful' at reunion after painful diagnosis

Jennie Garth was one of the hottest TV stars of the 90s, famed for her role as Kelly Taylor in Beverly Hills, 90210.

But the stunning actress, who turns 51 tomorrow (April 3), is still driving fans of the hit 90s drama crazy after recently reuniting with some of her co-stars.

In a series of snaps posted to her Instagram, Garth could be seen still rocking her long golden locks as she stands next to 90210 colleagues Tori Spelling, Shannen Doherty, Jason Priestly and Ian Ziering while attending the 2023 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut.

She thanked her fans and co-stars who attended the event, captioning one of the posts: “That’s a wrap on 90’s Con 2023! It was so much fun to meet all the incredible people who came. The fans. The stars. The staff.”

People were quick to flood her comments with compliments about how “amazing” the cast all looked.

“Great picture because you like adults not adults trying be something your not,” one person said.

Another commented: “You guys honestly all look the same except for the 90 clothes and hair”.

A third added: “Jenny you are beautiful.”

After rising to fame in 91210, Garth went on to star in a number of TV films in the 90s and since then the actress has led a busy life, continuing to star in films, raising her three daughters and recording her own podcast 9021OMG — which she hosts alongside close friend Tori Spelling.

The actress, who released a workout video titled Body in Progress during the peak of her 90s stardom, also still enjoys keeping fit.

Her active lifestyle is partly how she manages the symptoms of a painful condition she was diagnosed with a few years ago.

Garth was left “shocked” when at 45 she was told she had osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis which happens when “the protective cartilage on the ends of your bones breaks down, causing pain, swelling and problems moving the joint,” according to the NHS.

Opening up about the condition, Garth revealed she thought she was too young to have it.

She told PEOPLE: “I was sort of shocked to hear that news from my doctor after going in and complaining about some pain in my knees and my hips and different places around my body and wondered what was going on.

“And I was shocked to hear the word arthritis come out of his mouth because I kind of associate arthritis with… I’m not old enough to have arthritis. Let’s put it that way.”

She added: “But yeah, you can have arthritis at any age and I wasn’t really aware of that.”

But since receiving the diagnosis, the actress has learnt how to manage her symptoms.

She explained: “It’s something that you just start to sort of live with and learn how to manage and through different products and different exercise and diet regimes.”

She also uses Voltaren Gel to alleviate the pain and now has a partnership with the brand, talking about them regularly on her Instagram.

In one recent post, Garth shared a video of her golfing and said she was able to continue her active lifestyle thanks to the gel.

She captioned the post: “Don’t let arthritis hold you back from staying active and doing the activities you love most.

“For me, that’s golfing! I try to prioritize finding ways to move my body every day, and incorporating @VoltarenGel into my daily routine has been a game changer in relieving joint pain, reducing stiffness, and improving my mobility”.
