Benjamin Bratt dropped by the third hour of “Today” on Friday to promote his new HBO series “DMZ”, where he also shared some news about his wife, actress and model Talisa Soto.
“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,” Bratt revealed.
