We’re getting married this year,” the longtime Good Morning America host announced on the Monday, Jan. 2 episode while chatting with author Gabrielle Bernstein. She expressed that she was “hesitating” to say the news as it was the first time she had “said it out loud” to the public as Gabrielle pushed on what her “intentions” were for the new year.
“It was something we talked about but we had put it off as she had become ill,” Robin explained in the candid moment, reference Amber’s 2021 battle with breast cancer. Laign received both chemotherapy and radiation, which she completed in July 2022. “It is saying yes to that, and that next chapter,” Robin then said to an applauding crew. Gabby then encouraged the news anchor to “create a wedding vision board” for herself and the Plant Juice Oils founder. “I want you to just put on that board everything that you really want to experience that day on your wedding — images, flowers, art — I want you to meditate on it,” Gabby expressed.
Robin then said she was “meditating on the marriage and not the wedding,” as Gabby doubled down and said she wants Robin to focus on bringing “positive energy” to her union.
