Robin Roberts shared some sad news about her longtime partner, Amber Laign. The Good Morning America anchor revealed in a personal video posted to social media on Thursday that Laign is now battling breast cancer – just 15 years after Roberts overcame the disease herself.

She explained in the clip: Thankfully, Amber’s prognosis is good. She then expressed gratitude to everyone in the couple’s immediate circle for keeping the unfortunate news a secret until they were ready to share it with the world.

The 61-year-old broadcaster went on to express how it is her turn to step in and support her partner throughout her cancer treatment.

As you may know, Roberts has dealt with a number of health problems over the years — even surviving cancers twice. In 2007, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

And although she successfully beat the disease, she was diagnosed with a rare blood and bone marrow disease called myelodysplastic syndrome five years later.
