Nikki and Brie Bella beg for prayers as mum undergoes brain surgery

WWE t wins Nikki and Brie Bella have asked their social media followers to pray for their beloved mother who is about to undergo brain surgery.

The Total Bellas stars both took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking health update on their mother Kathy Colace Laurinaitis, 54.

After initially believing that their beloved parent was suffering from Bells Palsey - which is a temporary weakness or lack of movement affecting one side of the face - they were devastated to learn that doctors instead discovered a mass on Kathy's brain stems.

Taking to Instagram to share the worrying health update, Nikki explained that a tumor on her dear mum's brain stem had been paralyzing her face.

The brunette beauty begged her fanbase to pray for the Bella family as Kathy undergoes a dangerous surgery on her brain.

Alongside a series of stunning snaps, Nikki penned: "Our Mama Bella, our Gigi, our Gato is about to head into brain surgery. I ask for so many prayers, so much light and love sent her way.

"Sadly they found what you can compare to a tumor on her brain stem that has been paralyzing her face."

Despite admitting that she's naturally concerned, the reality TV siren insisted that her mother is strong woman, who can get through anything.

Pregnant Nikki continued: "I have faith that the amazing doctors will do an incredible job and our Gigi will be on the road to recovery starting late today.

"She’s loved by so many of us and just pray that her road to recovery is exactly what we are hoping for so we can put two new grand babies in her arms soon.

"Love you SOOO much Mom! You have a big Bella Army out here praying for you!!" she concluded the heartbreaking update.

Nikki's twin sister Brie also took to Instagram to plead with fans to keep Kathy in their prayers as she goes under the knife.

Alongside a snap of her beloved parent cuddling her precious daughter Birdie, 3, she admitted that she didn't sleep all night as she was too busy praying.

Brie revealed: "Today my mom goes in for brain surgery. They realized she doesn’t have Bells Palsey but a mass on her brain stem.

"I couldn’t sleep because I was praying all night. She’s a strong one and I know all her angels will be with her.

"#BellaArmy send Mama Bella all the prayers and love today," she added.

WWE twins Nikki and Brie are all the more concerned due to the fact that they are both pregnant during this incredibly worrying time.

Nikki is expecting her first child with fiancé Artem Chigvintsev, while Brie is expecting her second child with husband Daniel Bryan.
