Shortly after welcoming Gia in 2023, Tiffany revealed to CBS’ Gayle King that she “lost all facial function,” which was later revealed to be Bell’s palsy, which happens when the facial nerve becomes swollen or inflamed, though luckily people start to get better within a few weeks, recovering to full strength in three to six months.
