Former Bachelor and Neighbours star Tim Robards will spend the next month in a leg brace learning to “walk and run again properly” after he was rushed to hospital with a football injury.
The 39-year-old, who met wife Anna Heinrich on Australia’s inaugural season of the reality show in 2013, took to Instagram to share the news, alongside images of himself in a hospital gown.
“In a moment of what can only be described as pure glory … I was dashing down the footy field in glorious full flight … about to score … and then RIP … A part of me that had been a part of me for 39 years was no longer … part of me hehe,” he captioned the slide show.
“So long story short, I had to have that muscle reattached (rec fem) so I can walk/run again properly.
“I’m normally really good with my warm ups but this time life got in the way, and a few rushed leg swings and high knees just didn’t cut it (note to future self).”
The rectus femoris muscle is located in the superior, anterior middle compartment of the thigh and is the only muscle in the quadriceps group that crosses the hip.
Robards added that from here on out, “it’s crutches and a leg brace for me for the next month or so whilst I rehab and get in the best shape of my life approaching 40”.
“Thanks to the wonderful staff and Doc who looked after me and put me back together! You know who are you,” he wrote.
Heinrich shared a photo of the couple’s one-year-old daughter Elle FaceTiming Robards from his hospital ward to her Instagram story.
“I’ll look after you. Xxx,” she commented on his post.
In an interview with the Herald Sun last year, Robards open up about the challenges of making time for exercise while balancing parenthood.
“It’s definitely been harder to fit in time for myself and it requires great teamwork and communication with Anna,” he said.
“But I have to be my best self if I’m going to be a great father to Elle and a great husband to Anna.”
