Robin Roberts

We barely have the energy to talk to anyone about anything in the morning, but Robin Roberts was up with the rest of the Good Morning America crew early today as always. When conversation shifted to a beautiful wedding she had recently attended, Roberts made casual reference to her long-time girlfriend, Amber Laign.

This marks the first time Roberts has openly discussed her same-sex relationship on-air. The long-time anchor had only recently come out via Facebook last week.  The frank and natural mentioning of her girlfriend seemed incredibly well received by her co-hosts, who were delighted to see pictures of the happy family.

"It was no surprise to any of us with your end-of-year post.  You did tell everyone about your relationship with Amber and about your relationship.  I hope it was a good experience for you," says George Stephanopoulos, earnestly and encouragingly.

"I have never been happier and healthier than I am right now," responds Roberts, who is currently celebrating the one-year anniversary of coming home from the hospital after a life-saving bone-marrow transplant. She had been diagnosed with from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) in 2012.
