A SURVIVOR

Roberts might have a seemingly glamorous life on TV and being a socialite, but she has weathered some storms concerning her health. Once sitting on "The Dr. Oz Show," the ESPN alum recounted how she battled cancer.

Robin made it known that having beat cancer and other health conditions, she wants to be a symbol of hope for others in similar situations. She explained that after treatment, she became more painstaking about her intake of food and also started meditating.

Roberts went through several rigorous chemotherapy sessions, and in 2012, she underwent a bone marrow transplant. Her sister, Sally-Ann, had been the donor, and the star anchor was able to return to her job on GMA.

AMID COVID-19
