As you know, my mother has multiple sclerosis and in my family we are very attentive to this type of symptoms. Although it is not a hereditary disease, it does go in the genes. So I am more likely to have it than a person who has no background, "he said in a video posted on his Instagram account.

Although María has not yet shared whether or not she suffers from the same disease as her mother, she did reveal to the press what results some of the medical tests she had undergone had given, a few days after sharing the video on her social networks. The influencer suffers myelitis, an inflammation of the marrow which in some cases can be one of the first symptoms of sclerosis.
