Additionally, via People Magazine, Kelly is a cancer survivor. In 2019, she revealed in an emotional Instagram post that she had been diagnosed with a benign brain tumor known as an acoustic neuroma and would be undergoing surgery. The operation lasted for 12 hours instead of the initially planned six hours due to the surgeon’s discovery of an “abnormal” vein in her skull, which extended the procedure. Kelly is an incredibly strong woman who has not only confronted life-threatening challenges but has also managed to handle occasional criticism directed at her husband by fans. To her, Matthew is her ‘champion.’
