Larsa Pippen shared some serious health news this week. The Real Housewives of Miami star posted on her Instagram Story Thursday that she was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm the day before. The reveal came while she was reposting a headline about Matt Damon’s wife, Luciana Barroso, who dealt with an aneurysm and surgery back in 2024. Larsa wrote,“I get diagnosed with a brain aneurysm yesterday, and I wake up to this,”adding,“I’m sick.”
According to the Mayo Clinic, a brain aneurysm is a bulge in a blood vessel in the brain. Many never rupture, but when one does, it can cause life-threatening bleeding and requires emergency treatment. Sudden, severe headaches and other abrupt symptoms are red flags worth taking seriously. Larsa, 52, hasn’t shared details about her condition or treatment, and her representative has not commented publicly.
The announcement is a reminder that even the most glamorous public lives can have scary moments behind the scenes. Larsa has four kids with ex-husband Scottie Pippen and has been dating Jeff Coby since early 2025, and she’s been very open about her life in recent years. This one hit fans differently. Have you ever had a health scare that made you rethink how much you share online? Tell us in the comments.
