As for what she has planned for her milestone birthday, Fox teases that she has “several celebrations” in the works.

“I’m gonna be in my hometown with my brother who’s born on the same day as me. We’re going to do a party with my mom, my mom’s getting older. So usually we go to Jamaica. And I just decided hey, let’s stay home this year,” she tells PEOPLE. “Then I’m gonna go to the US Open and go to fashion week with my BFF BJ, can probably do a party in Beverly Hills with my girls.”

During her appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna, Fox also opened up about her upcoming 60th birthday in July.

“You know, I used to go to Jamaica every year, because my brother Marvin is born on the same day. … It’s fun. We party. We do a whole weekend in Jamaica usually and have a great time,” she said. “This one is going to be different for me. So I’m probably going to do more intimate things. Like, a party in L.A. with my girlfriend.”

“We’re going to do something, ‘cause my mother is getting older, in Indianapolis, so that she gets to party with her kids,” Fox added. “And then, I’m coming back. My treat to myself is to come back for the U.S. Open again, and hopefully Coco [Gauff] wins it again.”

When asked by Hoda Kotb how turning 60 “feels,” Fox replied, “Well, I’m not going to lie, my knees someday are like, ‘Let’s go get a little help there.’ Some shorts, or something. But I’m so comfortable in the skin I’m in.”

“I never expected this chapter of my life to be so booked, busy and blessed — literally in that order. I’m finally getting quality, I’m getting projects that I love doing,” she added. “I’m all about girl power and lately women have been giving me the most wonderful opportunities. … The blessings have just kept growing, and finally, everyone’s giving me my flowers. It’s about time, and I’m taking them.”
