AceShowbiz - Wrestling stars Brie and Nikki Bella have assured fans their mum's brain surgery went well, after asking for prayers ahead of the procedure.
Kathy Laurinaitis went under the knife on Tuesday (30Jun20), and as she prepared for the big operation, her twin daughters, who are both heavily pregnant, took to social media to request followers keep their mum in their thoughts.
Returning to Twitter later in the day, the pair took to their Instagram Stories with good news, as they announced that Kathy had a successful surgery and is currently in recovery.
The two appeared on Brie's Story, as she shared, "Hey everyone. So, we know you guys have all been saying prayers and been thinking about Mama Bella. So, we wanted to update you all that she just got out of surgery, and she's in recovery."
"The surgery was successful, and now, she's able to start her journey of recovery. So, thank you all for all the text messages, DMS, all the comments, everything. You have no idea how much that means to her."
Nikki told her followers, "It took a lot longer than expected, but it's because the doctors really wanted to make sure that everything was taken out, because if we didn't catch this, it actually could have been fatal."
"So grateful to God and her angels that we ended up finding this, that we had amazing surgeons and that she had a very successful surgery. Now, my mom's on the road to recovery," she added. "Thank you all so much for your prayers, your love, sending light. It truly helped our Gigi and Gato today... you all are our rocks, and we are grateful for all you Bella Army."
Kathy is well known by fans of the "Total Bellas" reality series, as she has previously made appearances on camera with her daughters since the show launched in 2016.
