Deborah Roberts Shares Heartfelt Tribute To Husband Al Roker
Al Roker and Deborah Roberts were colleagues for two years before their friendship turned romantic. The Today Show weatherman was married to someone else until 1992. But once his marriage was over, he pursued Deborah Roberts.

Al Roker and Deborah Roberts were featured on the cover of PEOPLE magazine‘s Love Issue in 2021. The 20/20 host revealed a surprising detail about her husband. “He’s a real romantic. When I travel, I open my suitcase and I find one or two notes in there that he’s slipped in, or in my purse,” she told the outlet.
Al Roker’s devotion to his wife is probably why they’re still so in love. And the devotion is mutual. Deborah Roberts took to Instagram this week to pay tribute to her husband on a special day. September 16 marked 31 years since their wedding.
