On February 7, 2025, Romano was shot in her right eye during a [[clay pigeon shooting]] outing with Rooney for his 42nd birthday, which was accidentally caused by another party. Rooney assessed the situation and had Romano taken to a hospital. Some of the shrapnel was removed, but one fragment was lodged behind her eye and was left alone due to being too risky to remove. Romano stated that the doctors will continue to monitor her and that she can see normally at the moment.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hume |first=Ashley |date=February 8, 2025 |title=Christy Carlson Romano 'shot in the eye' during clay pigeon shooting outing with her husband for his birthday |url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/christy-carlson-romano-shot-eye-shooting-clay-pigeons-husband-birthday.amp |access-date=February 9, 2025 |work=Fox News}}</ref>
