Brooke Shields dines al fresco with husband Chris Henchy in New York

She’s been on the mend after a devastating injury in January.

And Brooke Shields looked carefree as she enjoyed a date night her husband Chris Henchy on Sunday in New York.

The 55-year-old supermodel sported a creamy white sweater with matching slacks while dining al fresco in Manhattan with the one she loves the most.

Brooke’s dark brown hair was worn straight and cascaded down her back, and she opted for a pair of tortoise shell frames.

She stayed safe amid the COVID-19 pandemic by wearing a leopard print face mask, while Chris opted to wrap his around his wrist.

Shields used the assistance of a crutch to help her navigate through busy city streets as she recovered from the nasty break. 

Shields sustained a life-changing injury when she fell off a balance board and flew into the air, landing on her upper leg and breaking the largest bone in the body back in January.

She’s shared a series of images from her time at the hospital and wrote: ‘I’ve come a long way since this, but the journey is just beginning.’ 

But after a series of surgeries, a staph infection, and subsequent health hurdles, Brooke recognized her ability to overcome, telling People: ‘If anything, I’m a fighter.’

The accident was surreal for Shields, who said: ‘It felt like it was all in slow motion. And then I just started screaming. Sounds came out that I’ve never heard before.’ 

Emergency medical technicians rushed to the scene, at which point the star said ‘survival kicked in.’

‘I kept saying, “I can feel my toes” because I was so afraid I was paralyzed,’ she recalled of the harrowing moment.

The injury required serious surgery, stabilizing the break with two metal rods – ‘one from the top of my hip down, and another across into the hip socket.’

Shields had complications when a broken portion of her femur popped out, forcing her to have a second surgery to anchor her bones together with five rods and a metal plate.

‘I never considered myself Zen,’ she told the magazine, ‘but I realised with a certain calm that the rest is up to me now.’
