Retired actress Christina Applegate, 54, has reportedly been hospitalized in Los Angeles, according to TMZ. She was admitted in late March, though details about her condition remain unclear. It’s also uncertain if her hospitalization is related to her multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis, which she first disclosed in 2021.
A representative told the outlet that Applegate has “a long history of complicated medical conditions” and has been open about her health struggles, as reflected in her memoir and podcast.
Christina Applegate has consistently shared her journey with MS since announcing her diagnosis in August 2021. At the time, she penned a heartfelt message to fans, writing:
“Hi friends. A few months ago, I was diagnosed with MS. It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a–hole blocks it. As one of my friends that has MS said, ‘We wake up and take the indicated action.’ And that’s what I do. So now I ask for privacy as I go through this thing. Thank you xo.”
The Emmy-winning actress, best known for her roles in Married… with Children and Dead to Me, shares a daughter with her husband, Dutch musician Martyn LeNoble. The couple tied the knot in 2013.
