LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Christina Applegate has been hospitalized, raising fresh concern among fans as she continues to navigate life with multiple sclerosis.

While details around her condition remain limited, the news comes at a time when the actress has been openly sharing her ongoing health struggles.

Sources say Applegate was admitted to a hospital in late March, though the exact reason for her stay has not been confirmed.



Christina Applegate’s hospitalization raises questions

The news of Applegate’s hospital stay has left many wondering about her current condition.

While there has been no official confirmation regarding the cause, her long history of health challenges has naturally led to speculation.

Her representative addressed the situation but chose to keep details private. “I have no comment whether she is in the hospital or what her medical treatments are,” the rep said.

They did, however, acknowledge her ongoing struggles, adding that Applegate “has had a long history of complicated medical conditions that she has been refreshingly open about.”

Living with multiple sclerosis since 2021

Applegate was first diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in June 2021, a moment that marked a significant shift in her life.

Since then, she has spoken candidly about how the condition affects her daily routine.

In her recent memoir 'You With the Sad Eyes', released last month, she shared deeply personal details about living with the illness.

“When I wake up, I often can’t get my arm to move far enough to grab the cup of water by my bed or my phone from its charger,” she wrote, offering a glimpse into the physical challenges she faces.

She also revealed that the condition has made her more vulnerable to infections, which has led to frequent visits to the emergency room.

Podcast pause and ongoing commitments

The timing of her hospitalization comes shortly after an announcement involving her podcast, ‘MeSsy’.

On March 31, her cohost Jamie-Lynn Sigler shared that the show would be taking a short break.

The pause was attributed to both hosts being on book tours, but it now coincides with Applegate’s reported hospital stay.

Sigler, who has also lived with relapsing multiple sclerosis for more than 20 years, has been a strong support system for Applegate, with the two often discussing their shared experiences on the podcast.
