Christina Applegate is one of the well-known actresses who began her career at a very young age- at 3 months, to be specific, when she was seen in a commercial for Playtex baby bottles. At the age of 1, she starred alongside her mother, Nancy Priddy, in Days of Our Lives. Christina went on to work in the entertainment industry and, over the years, built a strong portfolio. It was her role as ‘Kelly Bundy’ on the FOX sitcom Married… with Children that grabbed significant attention.
Apart from that, she also gave amazing performances in Jesse and FRIENDS, where she played the role of ‘Rachel Green’s sister, ‘Amy’. Over the years, Christina Applegate worked in several films. Christina has had a long battle with health problems. It was in 2021, when she was filming the last season of her Netflix series, Dead to Me, that she revealed she had been diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis). Since then, Christina has often shared her health updates with her fans.
Christina Applegate debuts new look, months after her mystery hospitalization
It was in early 2026 when reports revealed that Christina Applegate was hospitalized. She didn’t disclose this; however, a few weeks later, in an IG post, the actress reassured her fans about ‘getting stronger and being better’ every day. Now, on September 21, 2026, Christina debuted her new look on social media, and she is being showered with love. Sharing a glimpse, Christina showed off her signature blonde hair.
A black hoodie atop a tank top, fresh-colored hair, and cool accessories finalized her chic look. Sharing the post, the actress penned, ‘Fresh hair color, new weird spot on my cheek haha’. This post came months after she was discharged from the hospital amid her ongoing battle with MS. For the unversed, multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system.
What happened to Christina Applegate?
It was reported by TMZ that Christina was discharged in August 2026, after being hospitalized in March 2026. It could not be confirmed whether she was hospitalized due to her battle with MS or something else. The actress’s reps didn’t reveal the cause behind her mystery and lengthy hospitalization to the Daily Mail. However, the actress later reassured her fans about her well-being and called herself a ‘strong chick ‘.
In 2008, Christina was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer, following which she underwent a bilateral mastectomy. Only a month later, she revealed she was cancer-free. It was earlier this year, back in February 2026, when Christina told PEOPLE that she was generally ‘confined’ to bed due to MS, and that taking her daughter to school is her favorite thing to do.
Before that, in August 2025, the actress revealed on the MeSsy podcast that she had a kidney infection that left her screaming in the hospital. In her memoir, You With The Sad Eyes, which was published back in March 2026, the actress spoke about how her body let her down. She also revealed that she’s prone to infection and her stomach is unpredictable, which leads her to the emergency room often. Speaking more about the same, Christina said:
“I start vomiting, almost like my body is trying to stop the noise, too. Then I end up in the hospital again. I just want everything to stop. But it won’t stop.”
