Al Roker On Telling Family About Cancer Diagnosis: ‘There Were Tears But They Rallied Around’

Al Roker is grateful to have Deborah Roberts — his wife of more than 25 years — and his family. Roker and Roberts graced one of People magazine’s three Valentine’s Day covers for the publication’s first-ever “Love” issue.

Roker, 66, revealed in November that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. “He said that was the bad news,” Roker was informed by his doctor. “He said that the good news is that it looks like we’d caught it early.” Roberts chimes in, “When he said, ‘It’s cancer,’… I just lost it.” My heart just sank to my toes because it never even occurred to me that there was anything serious,” she adds.
