Mailonline has contacted representatives for Maria Menounos for comment.

Earlier this year Maria was quarantining at home with her Greek-born parents Costas and Litsa Menounos amid the COVID-19 pandemic. 

It was essential that the family observe the coronavirus quarantine, because her mother Litsa already suffers from a compromised immune system.

Maria revealed the detail in October 2019,  when she announced that her mother’s brain cancer had reappeared on her Better Together podcast

Litsa was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive malignant tumor, and her daughter had her own cancer scare after a benign tumor was discovered in her brain – which Maria had surgically removed in 2017. 

Safer at home: Maria has been quarantining at home with her parents Costas and Litsa Menounos, who immigrated to the United States from Greece prior to her birth
