Jenny Mccarthy'S Rollercoaster Year: Battling Infections And Embracing Holiday Traditions - BABEOfficial 2025

Jenny McCarthy's Health Struggles

Jenny McCarthy has spent a significant part of the year in a battle against a severe health crisis affecting her teeth and eyes. In a heartfelt interview with People, she disclosed the ordeal of enduring nine oral surgeries after a serious infection caused her teeth and implants to fall out. This infection, stemming from a chipped jawbone, turned into a deep bone infection, leading to months of antibiotic treatments.

"I had one infection that turned into another and another, and then I had these growths show up on my eyeballs," McCarthy explained.

The actress described how the relentless infections led to significant pain and swelling, while growths appeared on her eyes. Despite these daunting challenges, McCarthy shared her relief at being able to chew again and slowly reclaiming her normal life.

A Tough Year and a Gradual Recovery

Jenny's journey to recovery wasn't easy. After sharing a holiday card photo with husband Donnie Wahlberg, she noted her slender appearance was due to a restricted diet following her surgeries. "I had two more surgeries even after that photo," she remarked, highlighting the tough year she has endured. Now, she is finally on the mend and eager to put the past year behind her.

McCarthy is looking forward to the holiday season with renewed hope, eager to enjoy the time with Wahlberg and indulge in the festive dishes she had to avoid while healing.

Embracing Holiday Traditions

As Jenny focuses on recovery, she's excited to spend quality time with Wahlberg during the holidays. "It's just the two of us at home in Chicago, cooking a bird and enjoying each other," she shared. She is particularly looking forward to indulging in a family favorite – French's green bean casserole – a tradition both she and Wahlberg grew up with.

After a year filled with medical hurdles, McCarthy is cherishing the opportunity to enjoy time with her husband and family, embracing the holiday spirit and looking forward to a healthier future.
