Howie Mandel and wife Terry are seen for the first time since she took a nasty fall while high on pot gummies
Howie Mandel and his wife Terry have been seen together for the first time since she suffered a nasty fall and seriously injured her face while high on cannabis gummies last year.
The America’s Got Talent judge shocked fans last June when he shared horrifying photos of his wife’s face covered in bruises and gashes after she took a tumble at their Las Vegas hotel room after a night of partying.
But exclusive DailyMail.com photos show Terry, 70, who has been married to Mandel for 45 years, has made a full recovery since then with no scars in sight and they each appeared happy and healthy while shopping in Malibu.
The Toronto-born pair, who are childhood sweethearts, looked loved up and relaxed as they browsed the shops at the high-end boutique mall Malibu Country Mart.
The Deal or No Deal host looked trendy in sporty designer tracksuit pants paired with a black puffer vest, sneakers, and a mallard duck-themed baseball cap. He was snapped carrying a shopping bag from local clothing store Nati.
Terry matched her hubby’s casual look in a leather-knit jacket, black sweatpants, and sneakers.

The outing marks the first time Mandel’s wife of 45 years has been seen since he revealed she seriously injured her face after taking a tumble while high on cannabis in Vegas
The America’s Got Talent judge shared photos of Terry’s shocking injuries to her face which included lacerations on her forehead and cheek, a black eye and an enormous purple bruise – but recent photos show she has made a full recovery
Her face, marked with dark bruises and lacerations 10 months ago, was notably back to normal and scar-free.
Terry’s injuries made headlines more than once after her husband originally explained that she fell and hit her face while ‘tipsy’, during his appearance on Live With Kelly And Mark last June.
Howie, 69, claimed the two had ‘partied’ in Sin City earlier that night and described waking up to a loud noise in the middle of the night and finding his wife lying in a pool of blood in their hotel room.
‘In the middle of the night she got up and – I don’t know where she was headed – but she headed into the wall,’ he explained. ‘And she fell and hit the wainscoting. She hit that as she went down.
‘She slipped, went down, hit that on her eye, then fell on the floor and broke her cheek,’ he said as host Kelly Ripa grimaced at the description of the injury.
But just one day later, Mandel appeared on TMZ Live to clarify that Terry had in fact been under the influence of cannabis gummies after viewers had begun to blame alcohol problems for the accident.
The couple, who are childhood sweethearts, appear to have put the scary ordeal behind them and seemed to be in great spirits during the March 30 outing

The television personality, who was carrying a shopping bag from local clothing store Nati, at one point stopped to rest
‘First of all, she wasn’t drunk,’ he admitted on air at the time. ‘She’s so worried that people are going to intervene with her alcohol problem – she doesn’t have an alcohol problem.’
He added: ‘I’m gonna tell you the truth – she took gummies. She took gummies. So it’s not an alcohol problem. She was on pot.’
The TV personality explained that he used the word ‘tipsy’ on TV as a catch-all for being under the influence as he was initially reticent to reveal that Terry had used marijuana.
The details and extent of her injuries, however, remained consistent with the facts that Terry had sustained a broken cheek and cuts to her face and head, exposing her skull.
Recalling the incident in front of the studio audience Mandel said: ‘I turn on the light, I look, I look around the bed. She’s in the corner, face down, and I didn’t know she’d cut her head. But blood is pooling.
‘I freaked out. I picked her up, I put her on the bed. There’s blood every[where],’ he went on. ‘I went and grabbed all the towels, and all the towels are covered with blood. And she’s going: “Get me ice. Get me ice.”‘
Mandel shocked viewers last June when he shared photos of his wife in the hospital and of her face covered in bruises after the fall
He initially claimed Terry was drunk during the incident, but later admitted she was high on cannabis gummies when she fell
Mandel and Terry Soil have been married since 1980 and have three children. They are seen together in 2019
Howie has been open in the past about his struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and germaphobia in the past, but those issues didn’t stop him from rushing to help his bleeding wife.
They eventually made it to the hospital where she was treated and later made a full recovery.
At the time he reassured viewers that since then Terry ‘is absolutely perfect.’
‘There is not a scar. She is beautiful,’ he gushed.
Three years prior to that incident Mandel himself suffered a scary collapse at a LA coffee shop in late 2021 that he attributed to dehydration.
Fortunately the pair’s problems seem to be a thing of the past and look as happy and healthy as ever.
