When Al Roker was hospitalized late last year, he had numerous fans and Today coworkers watching out for him, but no one was a huge supporter and caretaker than his wife, Deborah Roberts.
The admired weatherman suffered a life-threatening health concerns last year owing to blood clots in his lungs, which caused him to miss Today – which he has been a part of for about thirty years – as well as be in and out of the hospital from late November until January 6th, 2023.
Except for his approaching knee replacement surgery, he has his health back and is back on Today, but his wife of 27 years can’t help but marked that they are still suffering from the traumatic moment.
Deborah, an ABC News news anchor, talked about her job as her spouse’s caretaker in an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the premiere of Brooke Shields’ documentary, Beautiful Baby.
I believe a lot of people don’t realize – and I never felt – that being a caretaker is incredibly draining, exhausting, terrifying, all of those stuffs,” she explained.
