Life throws curveballs, and sometimes they hit too close to home. Bunnie Xo, the wife of country music star Jelly Roll, took to social media to share a concerning health update with fans.

On Tuesday, July 23, Bunnie, 44, known for her candid presence online and as the host of the Dumb Blonde podcast, revealed through a series of Snapchat videos that she might be facing a serious health issue. Disclosing to her followers, the influencer indicated that she may have "an internal carotid artery aneurysm." The diagnosis is still pending as the initial test results were inconclusive, leaving her, and undoubtedly her fans, in a state of anxious suspense. "It can't be ruled out," Bunnie said. "It's not confirmed, it's not denied."

The podcaster plans to follow up with a CT scan that includes contrast, a step her doctors believe will provide clearer answers. Despite the heavy news, she remains a pillar of strength. "It seems like a lot of people in their sixties have this. So the fact that I have this at such a young age is crazy. But God's brought me this far, so there's always a reason in the season, so we will figure it out...And this will just be another notch on the bad b—ch belt," she continued. "I'm a really fu—ing scared and stressed out about it. But I know God's got me, dude. He didn't bring me this far to just fu—ing bring me this far. So I got a lot of s—t I got to do still, so I'm reading up on it too."

Bunnie also revealed that her mom had an aneurysm. "Hers was right on her brainstem and hers actually ruptured somehow. The crazy old bird lived. Not a very meaningful life, but she lived," she said.

The health scare has not put a damper on her professional endeavors, however. The YouTube sensation is gearing up for the eighth season of her podcast, set to launch on August 5. On Friday, July 19, she hinted at the possibility of featuring country legend Dolly Parton, an exciting prospect that has her, and her audience, buzzing with anticipation. "Y'all, I MIGHT get Dolly on the podcast this season & if I do I'll faint 😭 LIKE WHATTTT?? Queen MOTHER DOLLY - I'll cry & croak all at the same time 😭😭 I literally named my podcast as homage to her 😭," she posted on Facebook.
