Robin Roberts to Take Break from GMA—Who Convinced Her to Stay?

Robin Roberts, the beloved host of Good Morning America, understands the importance of taking a break from work. However, she recently put plans to skip the show on hold when someone very special convinced her to come back.

In an enthusiastic Instagram post made ahead of Tuesday’s show, Robin shared her excitement. Accompanying a picture of her chatting with Tyler Perry on the ABC set, she wrote, “Very excited to have the one and only @TylerPerry joining us tomorrow LIVE in Times Square!”

She continued, “Here’s a look at a few of my favorite moments from over the years when he’s joined us on @goodmorningamerica.”

Robin then made a heartfelt confession: “True confession…I almost took the day off until I heard one of my dear friends would be on our show. Hope you’ll join us.”

Fans were thrilled by her decision to stay. They commented, “I love the banter between the two of you,” and “You guys are great together.”

Robin had only recently returned to the show after a trip to Portugal. She reported from there before turning her assignment into a vacation with her wife, Amber Laign.

Viewers missed her during her absence, but Robin made no secret of how much she enjoyed her European getaway.

As their time in Portugal ended, Robin posted a video of Amber dancing while a band performed onstage. She captioned the post, “What a way to end our magical Portugal adventure! We’re coming home filled with many wonderful memories…the spectacular scenery, delicious food, incredible wine, and all the kind people we met along the way. Obrigada!!”

The couple loves traveling together but sometimes prefers simple getaways to their favorite spots. One such place is Key West, Florida, where they enjoy biking, playing tennis, and relaxing with their pet dog, Lukas.

Key West was their destination after they tied the knot in September 2023, following their fairytale wedding in Connecticut.

To celebrate their nuptials, they honeymooned in Curaçao, a picturesque island nation off the coast of Aruba and Venezuela.

Robin and Amber’s dog, Lil Man Lukas, often joins them in Florida.

Robin and Amber’s love story began in September 2005 after being set up on a blind date. Interestingly, both of them considered canceling the date.

Reflecting on their first meeting, Robin shared in 2020, “15 years ago I met you for drinks on a blind date that both you and I tried to cancel… twice.”

She continued, “Your grace caught my eye right away, and the ease of the evening continued through dinner. You left for Tahiti the following day, and during that time apart I grew this feeling inside of me that still, is very present today… butterflies. Having you by my side is a gift as we continue to navigate this thing called life.”
