Who Is Christina Applegate’s Daughter, Sadie Grace LeNoble? The 13-Year-Old Just Opened Up About Her Condition — Known as POTS — on the Bad Moms Actress’ Podcast, and She’s Just as Musical as Her Dad

Christina Applegate’s daughter, Sadie LeNoble, has opened up about her health struggles. She has been diagnosed with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, also known as POTS.

According to the NHS, POTs is a condition where the heart rate increases rapidly after standing up from a sitting or lying position, and includes symptoms such as dizziness or light-headedness, fainting and shortness of breath. It can be improved with lifestyle changes, although some may need medication, the source added.

“When I stand up, I get really, really weak and I feel like I’m going to faint,” the 13-year-old explained on her mom’s June 25 episode of the MeSsy podcast. “And I’ve fainted and blacked out before, but that doesn’t usually happen.”

LeNoble says it helped her empathize with her mother, who is struggling with her own health issues after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2021.

“I feel like if I didn’t have this thing, it would be a lot harder for me to understand what my mom is going through,” she shared. “When my mom says, ‘Oh, I’m in pain now. Oh, I have tremors.’ If I didn’t have this, I probably would be like, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ But I have tremors because of POTS.”

According to People magazine, Sadie Grace LeNoble was born on January 27, 2011, in Los Angeles, California, to Christina Applegate and musician Martyn LeNoble. Applegate told the outlet how the birth of her daughter changed her life. “I literally felt my heart open up for the first time and kind of wrap around her,” she said in an interview. “And I love her more and more every minute of the day.”

She is very modest

As a teenager, it’s not surprising that Sadie has remained relatively quiet until now, although her mother occasionally mentions her in interviews. It seems that Sadie doesn’t have a public presence on social media either.

Like many celebrity children, Sadie was exposed to film sets from a young age. In fact, she was often on set Stay up all nightthat both of her parents were working on, according to People magazine. “My whole thought was, ‘I’m not doing this if I can’t take her.’ So they had to build me a room for her, with her toys and her crib, and she sleeps in there,” Applegate told People magazine in 2020. “That’s what you call a crazy mother who said, ‘No, I’m not doing anything if I can’t be with my child.’”

She is musical and has a talent for comedy.

It’s unclear whether young Sadie will follow in her mother’s footsteps, but she has shown a musical inclination, much like her bassist dad. She’s also, according to her mom, “kind of crazy.”

“She loves playing the piano; that’s what she really loves doing now,” Applegate told People magazine in 2018. “She thinks she’s going to be a singer, OK?”

She spoke about her mother’s struggles with MS.

In a recent appearance on her mother’s podcast, Sadie opened up about how their lives have changed since Applegate, 52, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

“I remember every night when I was a kid, we would dance and do everything in her room for like hours,” Sadie said. “When she was diagnosed, I just felt like — not that everything was over, but it was hard for me to watch my mom lose a lot of the skills that she had as a kid.”
