HGTV star Egypt Sherrod has revealed her toes were ‘shattered’ in a freak accident just weeks after she underwent surgery.
The Married to Real Estate co-host, who fronted the now-shelved property series with husband Mike Jackson, had taken a step back to focus on her recovery after having an undisclosed procedure when disaster struck.
Sharing details of her ordeal in a post shared to Instagram, Sherrod, 49, explained that just as she was making progress, a piece of marble fell on her foot and shattered two of her toes.
She added that she has spent the last five weeks in recovery mode.
Sherrod said: ‘I had to step away from the world for the past five weeks to focus fully on healing after surgery. It’s been a scary road, but I’m still standing and still on the mend.
‘Now here’s the wild part… just as I finally got back on my feet last week, a literal piece of marble fell on my foot and shattered two of my toes. TWO. The devil is absolutely a liar.’
Despite the setback, Sherrod is staying positive and is refusing to take negative energy forward into the new year.
‘This still happened in 2025, the year of the snake, so I’m rebuking all of this energy for 2026, the year of the horse,’ she said. ‘No carryover. None.’

Sherrod’s fans were quick to offer their well wishes with some also voicing anticipation for her upcoming projects.
‘Feel better Egypt,’ one commented. ‘I miss ya’ll show Married to Real Estate so much that I’ve been watching reruns. I pray you get well soon.’
‘Happy to hear you are on the mend,’ another said.
A third continued: ‘Can’t keep a strong woman down long. So happy for your progress in healing. Keep that energy and beautiful journey going.’
Last June, Sherrod and her husband Jackson were left disappointed after their popular show, Married to Real Estate, was canceled by HGTV.
The couple’s program launched in 2022 and followed them as they balanced their personal and professional lives while helping clients in Atlanta, Georgia, land their dream homes.
The show wrapped up its fourth season last May, with the third season pulling in 16.6 million viewers.
At the time, Sherrod claimed that Married to Real Estate had been axed while she and her husband were on vacation.
‘Just as I finally got back on my feet last week, a literal piece of marble fell on my foot,’ she said

In a statement that was posted on both of their social media accounts, she said: ‘Mike and I just landed back in the States after an unforgettable family trip through the Mediterranean, and we’re met with unexpected news: HGTV has decided not to move forward with Married to Real Estate.’
‘While the chain of events leading up to this is disheartening, we are deeply grateful,’ she continued.
‘Grateful for four incredible seasons. Grateful for our amazing crew and supportive fans. Grateful that our businesses continue to thrive.’
Sherrod is the CEO of the Egypt Sherrod Real Estate Group, while Jackson is the owner of Jackson Draper Renovations.
They both served as judges on HGTV’s Rock the Block season two and competed themselves in season three.
Sherrod also hosted HGTV’s Flipping Virgins from 2015 to 2018, and they both host the successful Marriage and Money podcast.
