According to unreliable Star Magazine, actress Christina Applegate, 36, is engaged to her boyfriend, Dutch bass player Martyn Lenoble, 39. Lenoble was by Applegate’s side when she battled breast cancer and made the brave decision to undergo a double mastectomy. Star reports that Lenoble proposed on Lance Bass’ boat of all places and that at first she didn’t accept but gradually came around to the idea. They quote a source which claims “he’s been asking her to marry him for months but was rejected - until now,” and that “Christina was incredibly touched by how he stepped up and took care of her.”
Martyn… first proposed in early May, just days before Christina was diagnosed.
“He opened up a bottle of [champagne], brought along a catered meal, put on some Sinatra and went for it,” the insider reveals. “Christina was overcome by his gesture, even though she wasn’t ready to say yes.”
[From Star Magazine, print edition, September 22, 2008]
Star reports that Applegate’s rep denies this story, so it could be premature or untrue. It would be Christina’s second marriage as her first to actor Johnathan Schaech ended in 2005 after four years. Their source claims “Christina vowed to never get married again, but then she got sick, and her illness has given her a new perspective on life.” She’s also said to be planning for children now.
Either way, congratulations are in order. Christina seems like she’s back on her feet after a very difficult ordeal and she has a supportive and loving boyfriend. She also confirms that she’s “100% cancer free” after her mastectomy.
Applegate has been confirmed as one of the presenters at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards. She has also been nominated in the best actress in a comedy category for her ABC sitcom Samantha Who? The Primetime Emmy Awards will air September 21 on ABC.

Didn’t her on/off boyfriend just die a few months ago?
-
Wow, the body’s not even settled in the coffin yet.
-
I’ve always liked Christina Applegate. I hope that she will always be surrounded by love, engaged or not!
-
Amy, it was Christina’s ex who died of an overdose a few months ago. They broke up a couple of years ago because of his addictions but from what I’ve read, they remained on friendly terms.
Hope she finds happiness with this one. -
I know Martyn Lenoble is “dentally challenged”. His dental condition is not just unsightly but unhealthy. The way his teeth are worn, there must be a story behind that one. That aside, I wish all the best to Christina Applegate. I’ve been a fan of hers since “Kelly Bundy” days.

Congratulations I am so happy for her, it was wonderful he was by her side through the rough times.
-
I’ve always like Christina too, ever since “Married with children.” I especially liked her in “Don’t tell mom the babysitter’s dead.” So glad she is happy and looks happy regarding her new engagement.

If you get to read this, Christina, so sorry I forgot to say, “Congrat’s on your new life with your new husband to be.”

my neice had both breasts removed due to cancer and replaced with breast implants. Most Insurance does not cover this procedure? She’s lucky she had the money to have this procedure done. They remove the breast, then take skin from your vagina to make a nipple, it takes months to reconstruct your breast because they have to stretch the skin tissue on your chest to accommodate the implants. So let’s paint a picture of reality here. She is not out of the woods. I hope she gets chemotherapy otherwise the cancer could s how up in another orgran, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc. Women at age 30 should get CT scans or MRI’s becuase Mammograms dont show well on younger women. I too am a breast cancer survivor. Support the cause. There are many women who cannot afford the treatment and many with no insurance.

I would like to wish Christina a blessed new beginning bothe with her recovering health issues and her up and coming marriage. Aunt Laura Schaech

I like Christina, I hope everything goes alright with her…..she was always down to earth never putting on airs………

By law in the United States any insurance company that pays for mastectomies has to pay for reconstuction surgery as well.

I read somewhere that she and Lance Bass are best friends. He was even there with her in the hospital when she went through her cancer surgery. I’ve tried to figure out where they would have met in order to become best friends, but nothing comes to mind.
