Jones’ post comes after it was revealed her wife, Bridgett, took her to the same doctor who saved her life back in 2017 after she suffered a stroke. They discovered Jones had what’s called a widowmaker heart attack, which could have been fatal.

Jones had recently been experiencing a “severe burning sensation in her chest area.” One of her arteries was 99 per cent blocked.

The actress explained Saturday on Instagram how she’d suffered the heart attack then had an angiogram and a stent put in to open the blood flow.

She posted, alongside some snaps:
