HelloGiggles.com was an entertainment and lifestyle website launched in May 2011. It was last updated in 2023 and permanently shut down in August 2025. It was founded by actress/musician Zooey Deschanel, TV producer Sophia Rivka Rossi and writer Molly McAleer.[1] The website was geared toward women, and covered topics in popular culture, love, friendship, careers, style, food, and daily news.
HelloGiggles was acquired by Time Inc. in 2015.[2] The terms of the deal were not disclosed to the public, but online reports pegged the acquisition price by Time as being around $30 million.[3] A print edition of the online magazine debuted in 2018.[4]
