for nearly two decades. News the couple had tied the knot came after a photo of the pair’s dog in a bow tie was posted on Instagram revealing his moms had married. “My mommies are MARRIED,” read the post. “Married?……yes….married!!!Roberts first revealed her wedding plans in January, when she posted a clip of a conversation she had with motivational speaker and author Gabby Bernstein. “I’m hesitating because I haven’t said it out loud yet…I’m saying ‘yes’ to marriage,” Roberts said in the clip. “We’re getting married this year.

It was something we had talked about, but we had put it off. She became ill, but it is saying ‘yes’ to that and that next chapter.” The journalist began fanning herself with her note cards during the January “GMA” broadcast. “I can’t believe I said that,” she joked about divulging her “next chapter” with Laign.Roberts and Laign met in 2005, when mutual friends set them up on a blind date.

However, Roberts, who is also a breast cancer survivor, didn’t publicly come out as gay until 2013. She has revealed that she was afraid to interview former President Obama about LGBTQ rights in 2012, for fear of being outed.

In her 2013 Facebook post coming out, she thanked Amber for helping her, amid her own cancer battle. “I am grateful for my entire family, my longtime girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together,” Roberts wrote. “I am grateful for the many prayers and well wishes for my recovery.
