The actress claimed that if it weren’t for Sadie’s dad, she doubts she could have made it through.

She explained that the singer had come into her life at a time of great sorrow and had been a great comfort to her.

They became engaged on Valentine’s Day in 2010, and their daughter was born the following year.

‘She has helped me in countless ways. The positive impact she’s had on my life is immeasurable. She has broken down every barrier within me.’

While Applegate acknowledged her husband for his unwavering support, she proclaimed that Sadie had ‘healed [her] in so many ways.’

The actress said her kid had ‘simply awakened my spirit,’ describing how the child had helped her overcome depression.
