Selma Blair Reflects on Family and Health in Recent Interview. The 52-year-old actress shares a son named Arthur with her former partner, Jason Bleick.
Selma Blair has inspired numerous individuals globally through her remarkable openness regarding her ongoing struggle with multiple sclerosis.
Currently, the renowned actress is discussing her personal life, expressing her desire to expand her family despite the challenges posed by her health condition.
“I have always wanted to add to my family, but I am not seeking to have another baby,” she stated during her appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show.
“My thoughts revolve around my son, and also my health; who will comprehend if I become fatigued and require rest?” she continued.
“We have all become quite self-centered, making it difficult to find the right person. I have not lost hope in romance, but I am uncertain about how to pursue it,” she remarked.
Selma’s previous relationships include actors Jason Schwartzman, David Lyons, and Mikey Day, as well as fashion designer Jason Bleick, with whom she has her son, Arthur Saint Bleick.
With Arthur now 13 years old, it appears that the Cruel Intentions star is open to the possibility of romance once again.
Selma disclosed on Tuesday’s show that she once had a brief romantic involvement with a fellow actor.
“Many years ago, when I was younger, there was an actor named Robbie Williams who came to my house, and it felt like a lifetime ago,” she recounted.
However, their relationship was short-lived. “He opened my refrigerator and said, ‘I have to go,’ and I later learned from a friend that he left so suddenly because he realized my kitchen was bare and that I didn’t cook, which wasn’t going to work for him. I commend him for recognizing that he needed a partner who could provide for him,” she chuckled.
Selma publicly shared her multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2018 after experiencing persistent fatigue and difficulty walking short distances.
Despite her efforts to regain her strength, she faced a relapse and struggled to find adequate medical care from various doctors.
“There was a time during my RMS journey when I kept it to myself, but I did experience a relapse that I was reluctant to confront,” she revealed on the show.
“The first step I took was to seek out a doctor again, as I had stopped visiting them. I thought I was okay, but then I realized I wasn’t – it turned out I had indeed relapsed, so I found a doctor who truly listened to me.”
“It was a female doctor, and her support was invaluable in addressing many issues I was previously unaware of. I hope this encourages others to speak out about their experiences.”
After taking a break to focus on her health, Selma has re-entered the acting scene.
“I started feeling significantly better this past year, and I’m back to work, so I will have announcements to make,” she informed Elle at the Women in Hollywood event.
