Kelly and Mark even captured a woeful moment
When Kelly and her Riverdale actor husband Mark shared this shocking image, concerned fans rushed to find out: "What happened??" They quickly learned that the couple's injuries were unrelated – a total coincidence!
First, Kelly broke 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.
Then in a freak accident, Mark went on to tear his calf muscle on the same leg. However, the couple saw the funny side of things and captured a snap of themselves keeping each other company which they jokingly captioned: "#tbt 2015 You should have seen the other couple."
