Ximena Duque has spoken out about battling COVID-19 while pregnant. The Colombian actress, 35, is expecting her third child and was hospitalized due to her severe symptoms. Although she has since tested negative and is back home with her husband, Jay Adkins, her teen son, Cristian, and her daughter, Luna, 3, the former
Days of Our Lives star said her experience with the virus was a nightmare.
It all started on January 4, when Duque s mom tested positive. Then Adkins and Luna tested positive, while Ximena and Cristian tested negative. I started crying, she recalled. She sent her son Cristian to stay with his dad so he would not risk getting sick. A few days later, she experienced symptoms and tested positive. Having to see her daughter from afar and not being able to hug her or feed her was challenging. The mind can either destroy us or lift us up from the ground, she said of the mental and emotional toll of the virus.
