ACTRESS Sunshine Cruz said she would rather keep her personal life private for now, especially her love life, as she focuses on her family and health.
“Parang napaka-off na pag-usapan pa ang lovelife ko o personal life ko. Matanda na ako, I’m 48 na,” she said. “I think mas better na people would focus on anak ko na lang because siya na ang active sa teleserye. Ako naman lay low na dahil sa health issue.”
Sunshine was referring to Myasthenia Gravis, an autoimmune condition that causes the weakening of nerves and muscles. The illness often affects muscles controlling the eyes, face, throat, and limbs, and symptoms tend to worsen with physical activity and improve with rest.
She said there is no cure, and management requires avoiding triggers such as stress and lack of sleep.
“Kaya nga I declined so many shows. Kahit gustuhin ko, hindi kaya ng katawan ko for now,” she explained. “But I’m hoping and praying na maybe by next year, lumakas na at pwede na. For now, avoid stress muna ako.”
