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?"

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!
