Anna Paquin opened up about her "difficult" battle with an undisclosed health condition amid her struggles with speech and mobility. The former True Blood star stepped out with a cane at the premiere of her new flick A Bit Of Light in
New York City earlier this week. She has been suffering with a private health condition for two years, maintaining a low profile away from the spotlight ever since. The 41-year-old hasn't walked a red carpet for almost two years and was last seen back in October 2022, with her last public appearance snapped in 2019. Anna not only broke cover this week but spoke for the first time about her unknown condition. She admitted the last two years had been "difficult" at the glitzy event at the Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo. Alluding to problems with her mobility and speech, Anna told People, "It hasn't been easy," while alongside her co-star husband Stephen Moyer. The couple began dating after filming the pilot of True Blood in 2007, going on to marry in 2010 and have fraternal twins in 2012. Anna played heroine Sookie Stackhouse in the
HBO drama, while Stephen was her brooding vampire love interest, Bill Compton. Stephen, a
British Actor, talked about his love story on Watch What Happens Live. He said: "We were both single at the time, and there was just this kind of spark." Then they had to stop filming for a bit. He shared more: "I didn't see her for three months, and she had gone from having dark hair to this beautiful blond, and I had gone from being blond to this dark vampire," he said. "By day three or four - oh, this is going to sound so syrupy - but I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. It was within seconds, really, and it just became a thing." Stephen mentioned that when they started on True Blood, he was still married to his ex-wife Lorien Haynes. But he was separated from her when he and his co-star began their romance, and his divorce was finalized in 2008. Anna and Stephen decided to get married in 2009 and had their wedding in 2010. They got married in a fancy house in Malibu when they were very famous on TV. Anna announced she was bisexual in 2010, and they had twins, Poppy and Charlie, in September 2012.
