Christina has been incredibly open regarding her battle with MS, even dating back to when she announced her diagnosis on X.
"Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It's been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition," she posted. "It's been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a-hole blocks it. As one of my friends that has MS said, 'We wake up and take the indicated action.' And that's what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing. Thank you xo."
