Selma Blair recently provided an update on her ongoing journey with multiple sclerosis, seven years after her diagnosis with the autoimmune disease.
“I haven’t had a relapse for a couple of years now,” the 53-year-old actress and Grammy nominee shared with People during an event hosted by ELLE on Monday. Blair, who first began experiencing symptoms as a young child, added, “I’m continuously regaining my stamina and have been traveling and working on collaborations.”
The actress, whose birth name is Selma Beitner, expressed that her greatest source of happiness is her 14-year-old son, Arthur Saint Bleick. She humorously remarked, “I wish he felt the same way about me.”
In a previous conversation with the same publication in September, Blair admired Arthur’s courage, stating, “I’m truly in awe of how brave he is. He takes excellent care of me when I need it.”
Blair became a mother during her two-year relationship with Jason Bleick, a brand architect. Their relationship concluded in 2012.

The platinum-blonde beauty has come a long way since receiving chemotherapy and a hematopoietic stem cell transplant at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago in 2019, which was all captured for her Discovery+ doc Introducing, Selma Blair.
In September, Blair was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the CineHealth Film Festival as well as an Advocate Award from the American Brain Foundation.
The Michigan native was well enough to make her acting comeback portraying an American hostage (inspired by Amit Soussana) in Doron Eran’s Israel-Hamas war drama Stay Forte, which hits US theaters next March.
‘This film is not just a narrative; it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the bonds that unite us against unimaginable tragedy,’ Blair told Variety in a statement in January.
‘I am honored to be part of this journey, which truly reflects the diverse fabric of Israeli society—people of many religions caught in the crossfire of conflict.’
Last year, the avid equestrian faced substantial backlash over calling for the deportation of Democratic congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush, whom she labeled ‘terrorist supporting goons’ for their support of the Palestinian people.
‘Islam has destroyed Muslim countries and then they come here and destroyed minds,’ Blair wrote in a since-deleted Instagram comment.
‘They know they are liars. Twisted justifications. May they meet their fate.’
11 days later, the Jewish star publicly apologized for ‘mistakenly and inadvertently conflating Muslims with radical Islamists and fundamentalists’ and she ‘deeply regrets’ hurting ‘countless people.’
