THE husband of TV favourite Kerri-Anne Kennerley is in an induced coma after suffering a serious neck injury in a balcony fall.
John Kennerley was air-lifted from Bonville Golf Resort, near Coffs Harbour earlier today and is receiving emergency care at Sydney’s Royal North Shore Hospital after the accident last night.
The couple had been taking happy snaps before the business man fell, with the former Mornings and Midday Show host posting one of the images to her Instagram account with a message wishing revellers a happy Mardi Gras.
In a statement, her manager Sean Anderson said: “last night John Kennerley – much loved husband of Kerri-Anne – had a fall while attending a golf event in Coffs Harbour.
As a result of that fall, John has sustained a serious neck injury.
John was placed into an induced coma before being flown this morning to ICU at Royal North Shore Hospital where he is currently being treated by specialists.”
Kennerley is a regular at the NSW golf resort and a keen enthusiast of the sport, hosting corporate events and playing in celebrity tournaments.
The couple have been married since 1994, when they wed at the Sydney Opera House in lavish style. The renewed their vows at Port Douglas after 25 years together and are a much-loved pairing on Sydney’s social scene.
They have seen each other through individual health scares, including his battle with bowel cancer and her fight against breast cancer two years ago.
KAK has said the secret to their happy life together is sharing time together and apart.
“You don’t have to share all the same interests, but I think our secret to happiness is in letting each other grow as individuals while still maintaining some of the same shared interests, such as our golf and skiing,” she said. “And you also have to know how to laugh at life. Above all, a sense of humour is the main trick to happiness.”
