Laila Rouass, the star of Footballers’ Wives, has revealed that she has been diagnosed with an incurable condition that has put her “physically, emotionally, and spiritually” on the line.
Footballer’s Wives actress Laila Rouass has shared with fans the heartbreaking news that she has been diagnosed with a condition that has “broken me open.” The 54-year-old TV star took to social media and reassured fans that her illness was not life-threatening, but she has lost control over her body, which has “humbled” her.
I need to tell you something, she wrote. I recently received a diagnosis of an incurable condition that has put me to the test in ways I had never imagined. Although it’s not life-threatening, losing some of my body’s control has humbled me and occasionally broken me open.
The actress explained that she has been quiet on social media recently because of her illness. There have been nights of tears, not from weakness but from release, she said. Sometimes, strength appears to just be present tomorrow. I’ve been quiet because of this. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually, treatment has taken a toll. But I’m here. a little softer a little more powerful.
She continued, “A little more human-like.” Life isn’t always perfect. Remember that the cracks are what draw the light in when you see someone online who appears flawless. Your skin, your story, and your scars are all components of your beauty.
It remains unknown what the nature of the condition is as Laila remained tight-lipped. Laila has been dating snooker champion Ronnie O’Sullivan on and off for 13 years and earlier this year, the couple finally cemented their relationship with a wedding.
After repeatedly calling it off on their romance, they got married in a private ceremony in London. They split up last year, but they reconnected in January.
According to the snooker star, the couple intend to move to Dubai and leave the United Kingdom, where they have already settled.
Ronnie explained to SunSport about their decision to relocate to Dubai, saying, “One of the main reasons for going was… I have a great practice facility there.” I couldn’t seem to locate a place to play. Either it was to try to relocate to Sheffield or to get a train there.
He continued, “But my wife wasn’t particularly fond of Sheffield. She then suggested we travel to Dubai or Spain. And I thought, “Well, China is closer to Dubai.” It’s undoubtedly in the Middle East. There are tournaments that I compete in, as well as a lot of other work. Simply put, going to Dubai made sense.
The couple, according to the actress, have already made friends and embraced the lifestyle with enthusiasm, and they have no plans to leave the UK in the near future.
Although Laila and Ronnie were married before to Abdeslam Rouass in 1990, this is their first wedding. The couple divorced in 2003, though.
20 years after it first aired on television, the football-inspired show that earned Laila its notoriety will relaunch. Gary Lucy, Gary Lucy, and Gillian Taylforth made up the original cast for the series.
