Listen up, folks. Selma Blair is back in the spotlight, and she’s got something exciting to share. The 52-year-old actress has revealed that there’s a new man in her life, and guess what? He’s not from Hollywood.
A New Chapter in Love
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Selma opened up about her new romance. “He’s not in this business, although he has produced before,” she said, clearly enjoying the moment. “I wanted a Midwest man, and I found a real one. Isn’t that amazing?” Selma explained, adding that her boyfriend is grounded and genuine, qualities she cherishes deeply.
Now, here’s the kicker: Selma met her new beau in the most organic way possible. “I saw him from across a table, and now he’s my boyfriend,” she shared with a smile. But like any star who values privacy, Selma emphasized the importance of keeping personal relationships out of the public eye. “Nobody wants to be exposed to scrutiny. But yes, it’s possible to find love at 52—and beyond!” she added, inspiring us all.

Love, Hollywood-Style
Selma’s journey in love hasn’t always been easy. Before her current romance, she’s been involved in two high-profile relationships. Back in 2004, she married musician Ahmet Zappa, but their marriage ended in 2006. Then, from 2010 to 2012, she dated fashion designer Jason Bleick, with whom she welcomed her son, Arthur, in 2011.
Now, as a single mom juggling career and health challenges, Selma has no plans to walk down the aisle again. “Fitting everything in as a mother, building a career, and figuring out when to get blood treatments—it’s a lot,” she admitted. “A boyfriend can easily fall by the wayside. That’s why I would never want to get married again. It’s just too much pressure.”
Fighting the Good Fight: Selma’s MS Battle
Of course, we can’t talk about Selma without mentioning her inspiring battle with multiple sclerosis (MS). Since her diagnosis in 2018, she’s been incredibly open about her journey, and it’s made a world of difference for her fans. “So many people come up to me on the street. I’ve never had that kind of connection before,” she said, clearly touched by the outpouring of support.
Selma believes that honesty is the key to overcoming adversity. “Being open about my diagnosis and putting myself out there has been a real enrichment in my life,” she explained. “It’s brought me closer to people who are going through similar struggles, and that’s incredibly meaningful.”
Hope Amidst Challenges
Despite the challenges, Selma remains hopeful. “Being hopeful about my diagnosis is the most important thing I can do as a public figure,” she said. “I’ve received so many heartwarming messages from people saying I’ve changed their lives or inspired them to embrace their own struggles. It’s incredibly humbling and emotional.”
But let’s be real—sharing her journey hasn’t always been easy. “There’s a lot of hate online. People will say things like, ‘She can walk without a cane; that was a lie.’ There are a million reasons why we do what we do, so stop judging people,” she urged. “I’m still a woman. I’m still me. And I’m doing the best I can.”

A Message of Strength
Selma concluded the interview by sharing a powerful message for her younger self. “It’s going to take years to feel better, but it’s OK. You’re being lovingly guided, and things will come in their time,” she said. “Just keep showing up. One day, you’ll feel better—and you’ll do an interview talking about how far you’ve come!”
