Robin Roberts

Robin Roberts grew up in Mississippi and graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University with a degree in communications in 1983. She went on to work for a local Mississippi TV station as a sports reporter and anchor. The broadcaster began presenting ESPN’s Sportscenter at the age of 29 and appeared as a guest correspondent on Good Morning America not long after. She became a full-time co-anchor of the morning news program in 2005.

If you’re wondering why Roberts is always smiling, it’s probably because of her long-term lover, Amber Laign! The host has been in love with her lovely partner for more than 15 years and couldn’t be happier. In 2005, the pair began dating after being set up on a blind date. Although they have yet to declare whether or not they plan to marry in the future, their love is undeniably stronger than ever.
