"Special date night with Sweet Amber," Robin Roberts posted with a photo from the back of a car on Sunday, July 2, 2023. "Wishing all a fun, safe holiday weekend."

The "Turning the Tables" host did not share the particular of their outing, but her sparkly baby blue blazer gave points to someplace dressier than a picnic in the park. Her "Sweet Amber" smiled beside her, wearing a dusty pink strappy top.

Roberts dedicated her 'Thankful Thursday' message in February 2022 to sharing Laing's breast cancer diagnosis. The host explained that she would be absent from "Good Morning America" from time to time as Laign undergoes chemotherapy. She said:

The veteran "GMA" host met Laign, a businesswoman and massage therapist, on a July 2005 blind date. Robin Roberts went public with their relationship and her sexuality through a December 29, 2013, Facebook post.

She thanked her "long-time girlfriend Amber" for her support during her medical issues. That year, the TV personality had been diagnosed with a rare blood disease for which she underwent a bone marrow transplant from her sister.

Laign went on "GMA" in September 2017 to open up about being her partner's caregiver during recovery. She advised caregivers to prioritize self-care. Early in their relationship, Roberts had undergone chemotherapy for her battle with breast cancer.
