THEIR LONGTIME BOND

Along with the "Tamron Hall" host’s message, she posted an adorable snap of herself and the 66-year-old TV personality. It appeared to be an old picture.

The picture was initially posted by Roker on October 7, honoring Hall, who recently renewed her self-titled show for a third season. Hall previously worked for "Today" and left the show in 2017.

Hall has remained friends with Roker, who has been supportive of all her decisions. After she left “Today” in February 2017, Hall still kept in touch with her former co-workers, including the weatherman.

For Hall, it’s impossible not to establish life-long friendships with ten years of working on the set. Aside from Samantha Guthrie, Roker is the one she had grown close to.

The former "NBC News" TV anchor shared that life without Roker is "no life" for her. He is one of the few people with whom Hall has formed a life bond.

Roker’s recent diagnosis came a few months after he and his wife Deborah Roberts celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

HIS SERIOUS DIAGNOSIS

Roker revealed on the November 6 episode of "Today" that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. He announced that he would temporarily leave the show to give way for his scheduled operation.

Roker expressed his gratitude through Instagram, saying that he was beyond grateful for the people who took the time to extend their prayers and good wishes since he revealed his condition.

He shared his diagnosis with the public to spread awareness that most American men, including his African-American fellows, will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Roker’s recent diagnosis came a few months after he and his wife Deborah Roberts celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary. They shared heart-melting tributes for each other at the time.

The TV host shared that he was alone when he learned the news. It drew an unexplainable feeling from the couple, with his wife feeling upset when she heard it.
