What happened to the Bella twins mum?

Kathy Laurinaitis, the mom of The Bella Twins, Nikki and Brie Bella made the headlines in 2020 due to her health concerns.

According to Distractify, Nikki and Brie Bella’s mother Kathy Laurinaitis underwent major surgery in June 2020. The surgery was neccessary after doctors found a blueberry sized tumour on her brain stem. The operation was successful and she was discharged from the hospital too.

Four months earlier, thus in February 2022, Kathy was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, a condition that refers to weakness or paralysis which affects one side of the face.

The condition tends to develop in under two days and in most cases improves after around nine months. However, Kathy’s symptoms turned worse over time.

In an episode of The Bellas Podcast titled Bellas Baby Shower!, Brie talked about the incident and her mum’s successful surgery.

The sisters shared that doctors were hesitant to perform the procedure because of the COVID-19 pandemic implications.

However, they went ahead with the surgery, with the only glitch being that the operation went on much longer than expected.

Fortunately, the procedure and operation turned out to be successful.
