Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts shares rare photo of girlfriend Amber Laign

Good Morning America host Robin Roberts spent her Thanksgiving vacation like many people, enjoying the company of friends and family. Roberts shared a cute photo on Instagram of his longtime girlfriend Amber Laign taking a nap after turkey with their dog Lukas with a sweet caption.

“As you can see, Sweet Amber enjoyed our Thanksgiving feast. [Lukas] knocked out too! Roberts wrote. “I’ll have it when she wakes up and sees this, but it’s worth it!” Hope you and everyone you care about have a wonderful and happy Thanksgiving. “

Laign, a registered massage therapist, and Roberts first met in 2005 after mutual friends arranged them on a blind date. Recalling that blind date in her memoir, Everybody’s Got Something, Roberts wrote that she liked the fact that she had no idea who I was. She rarely watched sports, so she never saw me on ESPN, and her office mates at the time were watching another morning show… ouch… The main thing we have in common is positive energy. She sees the good in everyone. Although the couple have been in a relationship for years, they weren’t made public until 2013, when Roberts came out in a Facebook post.

Although the couple have been together for almost two decades now, they have mostly kept their relationship private. When Roberts appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2014, she said Laign “doesn’t really like the spotlight.” She also opened up about her decision to step out in this 2013 post, which came in the midst of her battle with cancer. Recognizing that her girlfriend prefers a more private life, she said: “She is very, very supportive and has been there by my side every step of the way. And it was actually the end of the year on my Facebook and I thanked my doctors, nurses and sister who were a perfect match and said [to Amber] I want to say thank you. “

Now 16 years old, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic has brought Roberts and Laign even closer. Speaking to PEOPLE in April this year, the GMA host said, “We are now 16 years old. We spent more time together last year than in the previous 15 years combined. We have never been stronger. “
