While actor Benjamin Bratt and wife Talisa Soto are a notoriously private pair, the couple recently shared Soto’s breast cancer diagnosis in an effort to encourage women to get regular screenings.
“This is something I typically would keep close-held, but through the pandemic, through self-exam and then by going to her yearly mammogram, she discovered that she was positive for breast cancer,” Bratt, 58,The “Law & Order” alum added that Soto, 54, asked him to share the diagnosis to remind other women “that it’s important to get your screenings yearly, that you have to self-advocate for yourself and take care of yourself.
“She’s doing great,” he said. “The medication rocks the hormonal system a little bit but the good news is, she was found to be cancer-free at this point. So we’re just on guard to make sure it doesn’t come back.”She also encouraged the “Shot Caller” actor to prioritize his own health. “I immediately got on getting my colonoscopy, which I had held off for too many years,” he admitted. “So it’s something to be thoughtful about.”Filed under
