Getty Images for SiriusXM Christina Applegate says she’s “getting stronger and better every day” after her recent hospitalization.
“Thank you for the outpouring of love and well wishes,” she wrote in Instagram caption on Monday. “Health issues are a constant for me, but I’m a strong chick and I’m getting stronger and better every day. I’m taking a moment to focus on my health, but I’ll be back with more to say soon enough.
Applegate publicly announced that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in August 2021 and has been open about her health struggles in the years since, especially through her memoir “You with the Sad Eyes,” released in 2026, and the podcast she cohosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who also has MS. Applegate’s Instagram post comes after reports recently began circulating that she had been hospitalized in late March, with outlets like the Daily Mail and Page Six reporting that those close to her were preparing for the worst.
