Fortunately, the photo was a throwback from 2015, but it certainly threw some of their fans who were concerned it was a fresh accident. 

"#tbt 2015 You should have seen the other couple," and Kelly's social media followers immediately began commenting: "OMG! What happened," and, "I’m almost afraid to ask but, did that happen in and out of the bedroom that year?"

Others remarked: "Omg! Noooo! What did you do to yourselves?? Speedy recovery to both of you," and, "What happened?"

Kelly and Mark sported matching injuries 

Kelly was the first to end up in a cast after breaking her foot at a dance class. 

Speaking to her then co-host, Michael Strahan, on Live, she said: "It sounded like bubble wrap," as she discussed the moment she stepped on a hand weight and broke four bones in her foot.

"Somebody either left it not on their mat or maybe kicked it when they were dancing. All I know is I did a jump and I landed on the weight. My foot went over and under the weight."

Mark then went on to tear his calf muscle on the same leg... ouch!
