Deborah Roberts

Two of our favorite New York people: Al Roker and his journalist wife Deborah Roberts. They’ve been married almost 20 years through thick and thin and have a son and a daughter. For much of their marriage, Al, 60, was very overweight and it became a health problem and a problem for his slim and pretty wife. His 2002 bypass surgery helped him get a grip on his weight and now they both enjoy running marathons.

This is a great New York couple – both Al Roker and his fetching wife, Deborah Roberts, are successful television journalists. Al is the beloved weather anchor on the Today show and you’ve seen Deborah many times on GMA and 20/20. They’ve been married for 19 years and have two children. Al says he gets along even better with his size 4 wife since he lost weight – now he can keep up with her in the gym. And they can enjoy shopping together in Soho (above) because Al doesn’t need a big man’s store.
