Al Roker’s Daughter Shares Joyful Baby Bump Photo
Fans of the Today Show host were delighted to see a photo of Courtney’s “growing” baby bump as she prepares to welcome her first child. She shared a photo of herself dressed in a beautiful light-blue dress with waist cutouts, leaving her dark hair around her shoulders in loose curls.
The mama-to-be smiled broadly as she captioned the post, “Baby (& Mama) is growing 🥹.” Her stepmother Deborah Roberts left a sweet comment, writing, “And so beautiful!! ❤️❤️,” while another follower gushed, “Beautiful!! Hope you are feeling good ❤️!!”
This user complimented her outfit, stating, “Love the dress. You are growing a precious baby. Enjoy each day. congratulations 🎊.” One fan advised her: “Congratulations, prepare for the best emotions of your life 😍🥰💝.”
A fourth pointed out the sweetness of the post and the fact that she was glowing, while another described her as lovely and added, “So happy for your exciting news ❤️ 💕” A sixth wrote, “Motherhood suits you, so beautiful! 💕.”
This latest update is the first the expectant mother has posted since announcing her pregnancy last month. It would explain why Roker was suddenly absent from the morning show. As reported by The Blast, concern over his absence was due to his extended leave last year, which was caused by a life-threatening health risk of blood and lung clots.
However, this time he was away celebrating with his daughter and her husband, Wesley Laga. The date, March 14, marked the couple’s exciting announcement, as they revealed they were expecting their first child together.
The 36-year-old shared the news via an Instagram video set to a remix of Mariah Carey’s hit song, “Always Be My Baby.” The heartwarming clip was a delightful montage of different outfits, postures, and gestures.

The 68-year-old, who could not contain his excitement, wrote, “Here we go!!! So very, very happy!!!!! You guys.” He even followed up with a comment stating his preferred grandfather nickname, “Going for Pop-Pop.”

The Weather Man Credits Wife Deborah Roberts For Saving His Life
The television personality publicly expressed his deep appreciation for his wife after she played a crucial role in saving his life. The Blast noted that the renowned weatherman acknowledged that he would not have survived his recent health scare without her unwavering love and support.
Speaking with Page Six, he thanked everyone for the love and prayers he received during his difficult time. Roker also shared that he was unaware of how close he was to death during his health crisis.
This is because the ABC news journalist shielded him from the severity of his condition, which allowed him to focus solely on his recovery without the added stress of knowing. He stated:
“I guess I know it now. I didn’t know it at the time. Deborah was great at keeping all that away from me, so I thought I was doing OK, but that was great because I was able to focus on getting better.”
The TV star added that he was now fully aware of how serious the situation was and remained eternally grateful to Roberts.
