Jamie-Lynn Sigler has provided a recent update on her friend and "MeSsy" podcast co-host, Christina Applegate, stating that Applegate is "doing better" and "getting stronger" following reports of her hospitalization. The news comes as Sigler promotes her new memoir, "And So It Is: A Memoir of Acceptance and Hope."
Sigler, also living with multiple sclerosis, conveyed Applegate's progress during appearances on "Good Morning America" and "Watch What Happens Live." Applegate herself had previously addressed her health, posting on Instagram around April 16 that "health issues are a constant for me," but affirming her strength and determination to improve. She indicated a temporary pause from public engagement to focus on her well-being.
