Hollywood actress Christina Applegate, 54, was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital in late March 2026 for an extended stay that lasted nearly four months. The actress, who publicly disclosed her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2021, has been open about the chronic challenges of the autoimmune disease.

Sources including Variety and TMZ reported that she was discharged in early August and is “doing well.” In an Instagram post, Applegate thanked fans for their support, writing, “Health issues are a constant for me, but I’m a strong chick… I’m getting stronger and better every day.” She indicated she will focus on her health before returning to public activities. Co‑host Jamie‑Lynn Sigler, who also lives with MS, has been mentioned in relation to Applegate’s MeSsy podcast, which has highlighted their shared experiences.
