Who is Robin Roberts?

Roberts is a longtime journalist and author who serves as an anchor for Good Morning America.

The 59-year-old Roberts grew up in Mississippi after being born in Alabama.

She received a degree in communications from Southeastern Louisiana University in 1983 and embarked on a career in sports journalism.

Roberts worked for ESPN for 15 years, serving as host of the popular flagship show SportsCenter.

She left ESPN for GMA in 2005, and has been with ABC ever since.

Roberts took a leave of absence from GMA in 2012 to undergo treatment for a rare blood disorder that she contracted as a complication of the chemotherapy she received for breast cancer five years earlier.

Is Roberts married?

Roberts has been with Amber Laign for 15 years, but it does not appear they have officially tied the knot.

They celebrated the 15th anniversary of their partnership this summer.

"Having you by my side is a gift as we continue to navigate this thing called life," Roberts wrote to Laign in an Instagram post on July 26.

How did Roberts and Laign meet?

Roberts and Laign met through mutual friends, according to CNN.

"15 years ago I met you for drinks on a blind date that both you and I tried to cancel…twice," Roberts wrote to Laign on Instagram this summer.

"Your grace caught my eye right away and the ease of the evening continued to flow through dinner."

Roberts continued: "We had a second date soon after and I couldn't believe how at ease I was with you as we shared each other's lives sipping lychee and apple martinis.

"You left for Tahiti the following day and during that time apart I grew this feeling inside of me that still, is very present today … butterflies."

"I drive you crazy….I know which is why I love you even more to this day. You have the kindest heart and most beautiful soul than anyone I know.

"You have shown me time and time again to stay humble and to always treat others with the utmost respect as you never know what one might be going through."

Roberts told Ellen DeGeneres in 2014 that Laign is "very, very supportive and she's been right there beside me every step of the way."

When did Roberts come out?

Roberts came out as a gay woman with a Facebook post in December of 2013 and on GMA in January of 2014.

"I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together," she wrote in an end-of-the-year post.

First Lady Michelle Obama tweeted her support: "I am so happy for you and Amber! You continue to make us all proud. -mo"
