Selma Blair recently opened up to fans as she ventured into a recording studio, all while navigating her ongoing struggle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). She candidly shared her ‘quiet fear’ of potentially losing her voice due to the condition.

The 53-year-old actress—who has recently returned to the spotlight with her role in the Israel-Hamas conflict drama “Stay Forte”—took to Instagram on Sunday. She delighted her followers by posting about her recording session with Grammy-winning producer Dave Reitzas.

Blair, best known for her role in “Cruel Intentions,” publicly revealed her MS diagnosis in 2018. Fortunately, she has since reported being ‘relapse-free.’

In a collection of images, Blair is seen seated comfortably, singing into a microphone, with a recording engineer working nearby, capturing the moment.

‘Recently, I stepped into the music lab with 7x Grammy winner Dave Reitzas to record something for my son,’ she wrote in the caption. 

Blair is also a mother to her 14-year-old son, Arthur, whom she shares with her former partner Jason Bleick. The couple was together from 2010 until their separation in 2012.

Addressing her followers, Blair admitted that she pursued the recording session because of a ‘quiet fear’ that accompanies MS—the fear that one day she might lose her voice.

‘It lingers when I speak publicly. It shows up when dystonia does. And it reminds me that nothing is guaranteed.’ 

Back in 2019, Blair had opened up about her MS battle as well as dealing with spasmodic dysphonia. 

It is ‘a voice disorder that affects your larynx (voice box) and vocal cords,’ per Cleveland Clinic. Symptoms include a person’s voice breaking, becoming breathy or strained. There is no cure for the disorder and is described as a ‘rare condition.’

The actress further expressed in the caption that she wanted her son ‘to have something lasting.’

She added, ‘Something my own mother passed down to me and my sisters. It’s a forever memory of mine. Now, I feel it as a piece of me: steady, clear, and full of love.’

Blair said that her son would ‘be able to hear me as I am right now’ if ‘anything ever changes’ in the future.  

‘Okay… maybe a slightly more in-tune, incredibly engineered version of me,’ she humorously added. ‘That’s where my brilliant friend came in.’

In conclusion, the star gave a special shout out to Reitzas before calling him a ‘hero.’

Blair has been candid about her battle with MS since announcing her diagnosis in 2018. 

At the time, she had taken to social media and penned: ‘I have #multiplesclerosis. I am in an exacerbation. By the grace of the lord, and will power and the understanding producers at Netflix, I have a job. 

‘A wonderful job. I am disabled. I fall sometimes. I drop things. My memory is foggy. And my left side is asking for directions from a broken gps. But we are doing it. 

‘And I laugh and I don’t know exactly what I will do precisely but I will do my best,’ Blair had continued. 

During an interview with New Beauty in January, she offered a positive update on her health battle. 

‘I’m relapse-free. I found the right treatment for me, finally. It took many years and a lot of false starts. But I didn’t give up.’ 

She expressed that she was able to ‘find the right doctor’ while sharing she is still in the process of ‘healing.’

‘When I go out, I realize: I’m the grown-up in the room. If we’re not going to be the ones cheerleading or having a good time, who is? I think we can have a responsibility to bring whatever joy we can.’

Blair had also expressed that she was ‘excited’ for what is in store for her in 2026.

‘I hope for a whole turning of the page. People are mired in what they can’t do or the things they fear.’

The Legally Blonde actress added, ‘But we’re still standing. We’re okay. I want a shift toward people being kind and supportive again. I think people are craving connection.’ 

Blair has also been in the midst of making her acting comeback and recently starred in the Israel-Hamas war drama film Stay Forte.

And last month in February, it was announced that she will star in the upcoming indie film titled Ethan Almighty with Sean Patrick Flanery. 

It is set to follow the true story of Jeff Callaway and the rescue dog named Ethan – with filming set to kick off in April.
