After Jamie-Lynn Sigler Appeared in a Super Bowl ad this year Robert Iller, her costar from “The Sopranos”, Fans were clamoring for a reboot of the classic series, with his character, Meadow Soprano, playing the mob boss.
But that’s probably not going to happen, she told CNN.
“Obviously I would love it, but I hate disappointing everyone and myself,” she said. “I don’t think it’s a reality.”
Instead, 41-year-old Sigler is focusing on her career, motherhood, and battling multiple sclerosis.
“MS is like another job of mine and you know, sometimes I’m a really good employee and sometimes I’m not,” she said. “I’ve lived with this disease for over 21 years and you know, sometimes some days, some weeks you can be a little bitter and upset about how much attention it takes to just live.”
She said that she would consult her neurologist, Dr. Saud A. With the help of the love and support of Sadiq and her family, she has managed to do so.
Sigler and her husband, former pro baseball player Cutter Dykstra, share two young sons, Jack and Beau.
Things have been particularly difficult during the pandemic, she said, but Sigler, like many others, is focused on keeping her and her family safe.
“I remember my first call to my neurologist, Dr. Sadiq, just saying ‘Because I have MS, do I need to be extra careful? Do I need to be afraid of this?'” she said. You know, as the pandemic progressed, I remember him saying ‘You’ll be fine.'”
This gave her the confidence to move forward with her acting career, which includes her role as Tonya Walsh in the ABC series, “Big Sky”.
Like so many working parents, Sigler said she’s trying to make it go as smoothly as possible.
“Motherhood just grounds you in general,” she said. “And I think it’s really made me enjoy my career more, because whatever it is that’s going to take me away from my kids, I really have to love it.”
