Why Selma Blair Would Never Get Married to Mystery Boyfriend
View Date:2024-12-23 16:01:37
Selma Blair is making her intentions known.
Though the Legally Blonde actress has found herself a boyfriend, she's not sure if marriage is in the cards right now between raising 12-year-old son Arthur—who she shares with ex Jason Bleick—and her treatments for multiple sclerosis.
"Fitting anything in as a mother wanting to build a career and figure out when you're going to get your blood treatments in, a boyfriend falls by the wayside really easily," Selma told Us Weekly in an interview published July 17. "That's why I would never want to get married. It's a major setup to fail."
Still, she couldn't help but gush over her new man, who she says is "not in this business, although he has produced before."
"I wanted a Midwest man," she joked, "and I found a real Midwest man."
So, how did the couple meet?
"I saw him from across a table and now he's my boyfriend," she explained, noting that she has opted to keep his identity to herself because "relationships are best kept out of press if possible."
"Nobody wants to be exposed to scrutiny" she added. "But yes, it's possible to find love at 52. And beyond!"
However, the Cruel Intentions alum is not shy about her struggles with MS as well as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a condition affects the connective tissues. And she's grateful that folks have been so receptive to her openness.
"Being honest about the diagnosis and putting myself out there has been a real enrichment in my life," she said. "I could be sitting crying at a table and someone leaves me a note that says, 'You changed my daughter's life' or 'My daughter dances again because she didn't mind looking strange anymore when she can't do it.'"
Selma continued, "And I feel like the luckiest person in the world. It makes me so emotional."
And now with a strong support system, the Hellboy star is "so much happier."
"When the world is dark, you have to go and find the beautiful things," she noted. "I've been living my best life trying to do just that."
