Letโs be real; the news is pretty doom and gloom these days. So when we get some good news, weโve just got to share it. During an interview discussing her new book Lessons Learned and Cherished, award-winning ABC journalist Deborah Roberts shared some great news about her husband Al Rokerโs health.

โHeโs on the mend,โ shared Roberts, adding that โheโll be back up and moving very soon!โ
Itโs been a โroughโ time, admits Roberts. Her husband, the famed American weather caster, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020. He caught it early and recovered, but his health problems continued. In 2022, he was hospitalized with blood clots in his lungs and leg. And earlier this month, he underwent knee replacement surgery.
โListen, this has been a very rough six months for Al and for me,โ said Roberts. โItโs very hard being not 100% and kind of being down for the count for a little bit, but heโs not down for very long.โ
Roberts credits the incredible nurses and doctors whoโve cared for her husband over the last few years with his recovery. โGreat doctors and nurses are everything,โ says Roberts. โthey got him on his feet.โ
She also thanked their friends and colleagues for their incredible support. โ[They] really got us through a very tough time,โ says Roberts. โBy the time summer is over, weโll be in a very different place, and weโll be having a great time.โ
