Back in August, Selma Blair made headlines when she bravely opened up about her diagnosis with multiple sclerosis, a disease she now believes has been part of her life for the last 15 years without her realizing it. Fast forward six months, and we’re getting a deeper look into how she’s handling everything behind the scenes. It’s a journey that’s both inspiring and humbling.
“Multiple sclerosis is no joke. It’s a chronic and often debilitating condition,” a source close to Selma shared with In Touch in the magazine’s latest issue, now on newsstands. “Selma’s case is aggressive, but here’s the thing—she’s not letting it get her down. She’s showing incredible bravery as she faces this battle. It’s like she’s saying, ‘Yeah, you might have thrown me a curveball, but I’m ready to swing.’”
Unyielding Strength Amidst the Storm
According to those close to her, Selma hasn’t let this diagnosis slow her down. “She’s stronger as a person,” the source continued. “This diagnosis hasn’t knocked her down—it’s actually empowered her. She’s taking on this challenge with her head held high.” It’s a testament to her resilience and determination, qualities that have always defined her as an actress and now as a warrior in her own life.

A Journey of Vulnerability and Strength
Throughout her health journey, Selma has been refreshingly open about her experiences, both the highs and the lows. There was the emotional moment when she reunited with her beloved horse, a creature she hasn’t been able to ride in quite some time. Then there was her candid admission about the “uncontrollable anxiety” she sometimes struggles with. And most recently, after making a stunning appearance at the Oscars, she sat down for a heartfelt interview with Good Morning America.
In that interview, Selma shared a deeply personal moment when her 7-year-old son Arthur asked her if she was going to die after learning about her diagnosis. It was a raw and vulnerable exchange, one that resonated with so many people facing similar challenges. In the aftermath, Selma found comfort in the unwavering support of her dear friend, Sarah Michelle Gellar, who praised her for facing this battle with “dignity and grace.”
