The “Dance Moms” show, led by Abby Lee Miller, has been off the air since 2019. However, no one can forget the cast of the show, including both the mothers and their daughters. Sadly, “Dance Moms” star Kelly Hyland is set to undergo surgery due to a heart condition.
Kelly’s daughter, Brooke Hyland, took to her TikTok page to share the news. Brooke said, “You guys all watched her finish up her chemo and all of her breast cancer-related things.”
The “Dance Moms” star continued, “Unfortunately, right after that, she got news that she needs to get open heart surgery…I figured I would update you guys so you know what’s going on and you can send all of your prayers her way.”
She then said, “She was originally supposed to have surgery on Friday, but now she has to go in tomorrow. They are hoping to go in robotically, but if they aren’t able to reach her heart, then they will have to go in the traditional way…terrifying. Her heart is currently leaking.”
Brooke concluded by saying that doctors were unsure how long she’s had the problem of her heart valve not closing properly. Some have told her she’s had it since childhood, while others guess it could be related to her treatments.
The “Dance Moms” Star Confirmed Kelly’s Cancer Diagnosis in 2024
Kelly spoke to E! News in May of 2024 about her invasive carcinoma, stage 1, grade 3 diagnosis. In terms of what caused her to see a doctor in the first place, the “Dance Mom” star said, “The first red flag was my significant weight loss.”
She went on, “I lost enough that others noticed and would ask for my dieting hacks, but there was nothing I had changed in my day-to-day to cause the loss.” Kelly later found a lump on her breast. This was in March of 2024.
According to Kelly, “I booked myself a mammogram. I had just had one done eight months prior, and the results came back clean. However, this new mammogram and sonogram did not; it came back showing a mass.”
She then got a biopsy. Kelly added, “It was malignant. I went from clean results to a malignant mass in eight months. I was shocked that it had grown that quickly and scared of the battle I knew I was about to face.”
Kelly also discussed the complicated process of sharing the news with her children, as well as how they have supported her. She finished her chemo treatments in April.
It’s Been Several Years Since They Were on the Show
Kelly Hyland appeared on “Dance Moms” with her daughters, Brooke and Paige. She joined the show in its first season, which was in 2011. Like most of the moms on the show, Kelly had a fairly continuous relationship with Abby Lee Miller. She left the show at the end of season four.
