“This is something I typically would keep close-held, but through the pandemic, through self-exam and then by going to her yearly mammogram, she discovered that she was positive for breast cancer,” Benjamin shared, according to Page Six.

Benjamin added that Talisa hopes that by sharing her experience, it will show others “that it’s important to get your screenings yearly, that you have to self-advocate for yourself and take care of yourself. Not just eating well, but you have to get to the doctor and make these exams a part of your regular life.”

Benjamin went on to say that Talisa has responded well to treatments and she’s now “cancer-free,” but they are still “on guard.”

“She’s doing great,” Benjamin shared. “The medication rocks the hormonal system a little bit but the good news is, she was found to be cancer-free at this point. So we’re just on guard to make sure it doesn’t come back.”

Benjamin and Talisa have been married since 2002 and share two children, 19-year-old daughter Sophia and 16-year-old son Mateo.
