‘Good Morning America’ Host Robin Roberts Ties the Knot with Longtime Partner Amber Laign in Beautiful Backyard Ceremony

In a heartwarming celebration of love and commitment, “Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts announced her marriage to her longtime partner, Amber Laign, in a touching Instagram post on Sunday. The beloved TV personality shared two enchanting photos of the radiant brides walking hand in hand, both adorned in flowing white wedding gowns.

The couple exchanged vows during an intimate and magical backyard wedding ceremony, followed by a joyous reception that featured spirited dancing. Robin Roberts expressed her immense gratitude to all who joined in the celebration, making it a day and night to remember. She excitedly declared, “Honeymoon here we come!”

The heartfelt ceremony took place at the couple’s home on Friday, as confirmed by Good Morning America. Officiated by Roberts’ childhood pastor, the wedding was a deeply personal affair. The brides’ custom-made wedding dresses were elegantly designed by Mark Badgley and James Mischka, adding an extra touch of glamour to the occasion. The celebration continued with an “enchanted garden-themed reception,” making it a truly memorable event.

Robin Roberts initially announced her engagement to Amber Laign, with whom she has been in a loving relationship since 2005, during a conversation with author and motivational speaker Gabby Bernstein on the ABC morning talk show in January. When asked what she was a “yes for” in the upcoming year, Roberts hesitated briefly before revealing her plans, saying, “I’m hesitating because I haven’t said it out loud yet. We’re getting married this year. It’s something we have talked about, but we had put it off. She became ill, and it is saying yes to that and that next chapter.”

Roberts, who has faced her own health battles over the years, disclosed in February 2022 that she would be taking a step back from her role on “Good Morning America” to support Laign through chemotherapy. Amber Laign, the founder of the natural product company Plant Juice Oils, had been diagnosed with breast cancer in late 2021.

Reflecting on their enduring love and support for each other, Roberts shared in a heartfelt video on Twitter last year, “She and I have been together almost 17 years and have helped each other through our challenges like my journey with cancer. It’s my turn now to be there for her as she was with me.”

Robin Roberts herself underwent chemotherapy during her battle with breast cancer in 2007. In 2012, she faced another health challenge when diagnosed with a rare blood disorder, myelodysplastic syndrome, which led her to undergo a life-saving bone marrow transplant.

The marriage of Robin Roberts and Amber Laign serves as a touching testament to love and resilience, inspiring many with their enduring bond and commitment through life’s ups and downs.
