Jamie-Lynn Sigler said Tuesday that actress Christina Applegate is doing better after a recent hospitalization related to multiple sclerosis [1, 2].
The update provides clarity on Applegate's condition following reports of a health setback. Because both women have publicly discussed their experiences with chronic illness, their shared advocacy brings visibility to the complexities of managing long-term neurological conditions.
Sigler, 44, said the news during an interview on the Bravo show "Watch What Happens Live" [1]. She said that the hospitalization occurred last month [1]. Applegate, 54, has been open about her struggle with multiple sclerosis in recent years [1].
"She's doing better," Sigler said [1, 2].
Sigler said Applegate is "getting better and stronger every day" [1]. The two women are close friends and co-hosts of the MeSsy podcast, where they frequently discuss health and wellness.
Applegate's health journey has been a point of public interest since her diagnosis, and Sigler's update addresses recent concerns regarding the actress's stability. The hospitalization last month [1] marked a significant challenge in her ongoing battle with the disease, but Sigler's comments suggest a positive trajectory in her recovery.
“"She's doing better."”
The public updates from Sigler and Applegate highlight the unpredictable nature of multiple sclerosis, where patients often face sudden setbacks requiring acute care. By sharing these developments, the pair continues to normalize the fluctuations of chronic illness for a global audience.
