The “Can’t Fight the Moonlight” hitmaker didn’t share any further details about her illness, but the post comes just days after she mentioned there were “heart wrenching things happening at home with family.”

She added, “It’s been a different anniversary, one filled with tears and worry, but in between, there were moments of laughter and deep gratitude for this love of ours. Day by day, we walk hand in hand through the rollercoaster of life… and god, i’m so grateful that it’s with each other.”
“We’ve been through so much in our 15 years as husband and wife. we know how to ride the waves 🌊, hold each other in times of need, mend what needs mending. i’m so proud of what we have created together. 15 years is just the beginning,” she concluded the post.
Rimes has been open about her health struggles over the years, including opening up about her battle with psoriasis in 2020, her dental bridge falling out during a live performance, and undergoing a blood plasma replacement procedure earlier this year.
Last month, she went viral after sharing a video of herself undergoing “deep jaw release therapy.” The so-called self-healing process saw a doctor physically resetting Rimes’ jaw before she began crying uncontrollably.
After some commenters accused Rimes of acting in the video, she told Entertainment Weekly, “The people were commenting, being [like], ‘Of course the camera was on, she was gonna cry.’ I’m like, ‘I can act, but I am not that good. I am not that good.’ I’m not Meryl Streep!”
