GMA’s Deborah Roberts & Today’s Al Roker Married Years Ago

The world of celebrities is full of broken relationships. Despite wealth and fame, too often, multiple attempts at a happy union fail. Perhaps it’s the pressure and being in the public eye that does it. However, GMA fans also probably experience marriages that don’t last, so Deborah’s latest interview might interest them a lot.

Deborah Roberts works hard, and so does the Today Show’s Al Roker. And yet they nurtured their marriage for nearly three decades. Through health scares, raising children, and countless celebrity events, they remained firmly committed to each other. Career changes and the passing of time could make an entire book about marriage.

Today’s Al Roker & His Wife From GMA Talked With The Media

On May 20, the talk show personalities were at the “Harlem School of the Arts 60th Anniversary Gala in New York City,” and The Sun caught up with them. Their son, Nick was also there. If you don’t know, the couple arrived to receive an award. On the red carpet, they chatted for a bit about successful marriages.

Deborah Roberts told the outlet that it takes work to be successful. In her interview, the Good Morning America anchor said:

Oh, my gosh. I think the biggest thing is not to tell anybody that you have it figured out, because we don’t. We are working at it constantly. We are a work in progress, We’ve been married 28, almost 29 years. It’s not easy.And, life is all about growing and evolving and sometimes compromising and sometimes not”

Al Roker’s wife concluded that couples need “a desire” to be “committed.” Working on a relationship “makes a big difference.”

During an interview with Rachael Shay two years ago, the Today Show’s weatherman explained that relationships need a lot of care. Did you know that he planned his proposal to Deborah for a full year? It took him so long to pop the question, that Deborah claimed she was “going to break up with him.” Even Al’s sister told him to let her go if he didn’t want to commit. Well, he did commit, and all in all, it seems that it worked out very well.
