Although Roker and Leila live in distant places, they communicate regularly through social media apps like Instagram. Their fans were delighted when they bonded online in February together with her mom, Deborah Roberts.

Leila updated them about her life in Paris and admitted she struggles with being away from them. It was also a strange time for her with new routines to follow due to the pandemic.

Despite challenging times, Leila took time to appreciate and celebrate little things. When she marked her birthday last year, she dressed in beautiful clothes and indulged herself with a glass of wine.

What made her day more special was when Roker greeted her with a sweet birthday message. Prior to that, he went through a five-hour surgery because of prostate cancer.
