Many years of love! After the first meeting on the Today shows set, Al Roker and Deborah Roberts have been datἰng for more than 20 years.
The Today meteorologist recalled of romancing his now-wife, an NBC correspondent, during a February 2021 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show:
“It was funny because we were in the ‘friend zone. We were friends and she was like, ‘Let’s not ruin that friendship and you know, she was covering an event for a couple of weeks and asked me to keep an eye on her apartment. So, I did and I had to snoop around.”
Roker continued:
“I was in the kitchen and I opened up the fridge and there’s nothing in there. I open up the oven expecting to see a mess and she still has the cardboard was still on the oven grates. I thought, ‘This woman’s never used this oven.’ So, a day before she got back from her trip, I stocked her pantry, I stocked her refrigerator and left some flowers on the table.”
After Roberts returned, she also found that Roker had left her handwritten note that read: “Welcome home.” One week later, “I got my first date with her,” he gushed to Clarkson.
The weather expert and Roberts initially met backstage at Today in 1990, and two years later, in 1992, the couple started dἀtἰng. The weather expert and Roberts share a daughter, Courtney, born in 1987. In the end, Roker got down on one knee on January 1st, 1994.
The New York native recalled during a February 2022 appearance on the Rachael Ray Show:
“I had already planned a year ahead to do it because I wanted to do it at the Grand Canyon. So, New Year’s Eve came and went and we’re having breakfast and she said, ‘So if one were to be expecting a ring, when would one be expecting it? I said, ‘Well, no later than Groundhog’s Day.”
After traveling for several hours, Roker finally shocked Roberts when they arrived at the Arizona landmark. As the sun set, the Never Goin’ Back author dropped to his knee and started babbling.
According to Yahoo, Roberts joked to the celebrity chef noting she was ready to break up with her beau had he not proposed:
“I thought he fell, I was trying to help him up. I started crying after he asked me to marry him. It was beautiful.”

The ABC journalist captioned a September 2021 Instagram tribute to her husband. “So thrilled to share this full life with you @alroker Happy anniversary dear. Here’s to so many more!”
