"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.

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.
