    Ginger Zee shared on social media that she was forced to take a step back temporarily from Good Morning America because of her health.

    She posted photographs of her son caring for her while she sported a high 103 fever and tried to take the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate.

    It was clear that while the moment of rest was appreciated, she was still upset about having to miss the show and provide more weather updates.

    “I’ve got great care but these rolling fevers have taken me out. Hope to see you back on @goodmorningamerica soon,” she wrote. 

    Ginger added: “I was most excited to update the drought monitor today… #nerd Thanks @samwnek @amaranteweather @samchampion for holding it down.”

    The ABC News meteorologist was quickly inundated with her colleagues and followers wishing her well and asking her to take some rest.

    Ginger was forced to stay home and rest on account of a fever

    Ginger had been busy the past few weeks traveling around the country and reporting on a series of storms and hurricanes that had been brewing over the Midwest and beyond.

    However, she was able to return home over the holiday weekend in time for her birthday, and got the best of surprises from her husband Ben Aaron.

    She shared that he had created a musical, or a “mu-zee-cal” in her case, starring some of their friends and family members in honor of her and the hard work she’d been putting in lately.

    The GMA star adoringly wrote: “My talented husband @benaarontv wrote & directed an off-off-off Broadway musical for my birthday starring some of my friends.”

    The GMA star is currently on bed rest

    Ginger Zee has shared an update on her health after she was forced to step away from GMA this week to concentrate on her recovery.

    Alongside a photo of herself laying in bed, Ginger wrote: “When that influenza A light hits you just right… I haven’t moved from bed in 48 hours but this tamiflu is helping.

    “I actually see light and have now gone 10 hours without a fever. I got laid out by this one.”

    Ginger also revealed that she’s not the only member of her family battling illness, as her sons, Adrian, seven, and Miles, four, with husband Ben Aaron are also poorly.

    “Thankful for a supportive @benaarontv & @roofustee who have been caring for our sick boys while I lay useless in bed. Sending everyone healthy sunny vibes cause this storm is gonna pass,” she added.

    “I’ve got great care but these rolling fevers have taken me out. Hope to see you back on @goodmorningamerica soon,” she wrote, adding: “I was most excited to update the drought monitor today… #nerd Thanks @samwnek @amaranteweather @samchampion for holding it down.”

    TV’s Heart-St0pping Moment: U.S. Anchors Like Ginger Zee, David Muir, Dylan Dreyer,.. Brave the Eye of the Storm – Leaving Viewers in Awe and Emotion!

    Hurricane Milton swept through Florida on Thursday October 10, with the d3ath t0ll standing over 10 and the storm causing widespread d3structi0n across the state including leaving more than three million homes and businesses left without power.

    But while residents were asked to evacuate, journalists and morning network meteorologists flew into the eye of the storm to serve as a proxy for viewers to find out exactly what was happening in the area, with Dylan Dreyer, David Muir, Ginger Zee and Anderson Cooper all arriving in Florida the last few days.

    Ginger, the meteorologist for ABC and Good Morning America was due to fly into Georgia to view the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, but when Milton was upgraded to a hurricane four days before landfall, she was diverted to Florida.

    “Milton now a hurricane —Florida 10-6: Sunday afternoon update on Milton. Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, Sarasota, Tampa Bay. Watch #Milton carefully. Wednesday looks like the landfall of a major hurricane. Please ask questions I’ll answer,” she captioned the post before spending the rest of the week keeping followers updated as well as sharing educational graphics that offered insight into what the difference in categories and terms mean.

    “After Sandy, I realized that if people had never seen the power of Storm Surge they couldn’t understand it. So we made this graphic and then unfortunately I saw this come to life from Michael to Ian and others. I hope this can help emphasize to people, what Storm Surge really is,” she said in another video.

    Ginger also continued to update fans in the comments, reminding many that journalists remain in safe spaces and are not staying in the evacuation zones; the different networks often stay in the same hotels.

    ABC News also shared videos from Ginger and her crew, with one revealing how the flood waters had made it so that she could not “stand where I was before, the surge has come up”.

    ABC World News Tonight’s Whit Johnson has also been on the ground, keeping followers and viewers updated.In one video he gave a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the different crews preparing to go live for the networks in a parking garage, with the rain heavily falling outside of the structure, the noise forcing Whit to shout into the camera.

    His colleague David Muir was also on the ground, and he reported from inside the parking garage as well, telling West Coast viewers that they had moved inside because of the strength of the rain, also revealing that they were reporting at least 30 tornadoes had hit the land.

    CNN’s Anderson Cooper was also in the area, reporting from Bradenton, Florida, after Hurricane Milton made landfall.

    One video of his went viral early on October 10 as he was hit in the face by flying debris as he reported live for CNN. As he lent over to look at the water he was hit by a white object that flew by; “Woah. That wasn’t good,” he confessed before agreeing it may be time to head inside.

    Back in the studios, Kaitlan Collins addressed the situation telling viewers that “Anderson is okay”.

    Dylan Dreyer from The Today Show, meanwhile, shared his deceiving a hurricane can be, as stood “in the eye of the hurricane”.

    “There is not the slightest breeze, there is not a drop of rain.. This is as calm as it can possibly get….. But in 20 minutes, the backside of the storm is coming in and the winds will be back up to 100mph,” she shared.

  • A Tearful Interview with GMA Host Ginger Zee!

    A Tearful Interview with GMA Host Ginger Zee!

    Ginger Zee has detailed her harrowing mental health journey in a brutally honest interview. The Good Morning America meteorologist, 42, featured on a recent episode of the Quite Frankly podcast, hosted by Frank Elaridi, where she opened up about how being diagnosed with d3pr3ssion at age 21 and how suffering from an e@ting dis0rder also had an impact on her mental health.

    The mother-of-two began by sharing how she wrote in her book, A Little Closer to Home: How I Found the Calm After the Storm, that she would lie to herself when she was younger: “In my book, I write a lot about lying and where I learned how to lie, and that was through [my] e@ting dis0rder and I became almost expert level at it.”

    Ginger continued: “I lied to men left and right… the chaos that created in my life, and the self-hate that created, through lying… The worst part, and where I was the sickest, was lying to myself. And when you can lie to yourself there is no truth for anyone else. And I had to lie to myself because I hated myself.”

    In another powerful moment from the interview, Ginger shared how she became so unwell from poor mental health that checked herself into a hospital to receive treatment, shortly before she landed a dream job on GMA. “Ten days before everybody saw me take this dream job of national television, I checked myself into the Columbia p:s:y:c:h w@rd,” she said.

    Ginger Zee has been open about her past struggles with mental health

    “At least we’re getting to a point where we can talk about it. I went to the hospital because I needed to go to the hospital. I needed help. I should’ve done it 10 years before.”

    Ginger then explained further how she found the experience of receiving professional help for her d3pr3ssion, which she was diagnosed with at age 21, after previously opening up about her heartbreaking su1c1de attempt.

    “What the inpatient situation does for you, it’s not fun. It’s so scary. At first, I was looking around like, ‘I don’t need to be here.’ But they assess you and they were not going to let me leave until I was not uns@fe. I really needed help. They really deemed me uns@fe, that’s how bad it was.”

    It’s clear that bravely detailing her own personal struggle is something the GMA star is passionate about, and with her message she hopes to change the way society discusses and thinks about mental health problems.

    “If you have su1c1dal thoughts, that is bad and we need to look at it as such because there are ways and treatments and therapies that can make you not have those thoughts,” she added further.

    “I think that’s what I didn’t understand for a decade of my life. This is why it’s my responsibility to talk about this stuff because there’s so many people who don’t get this chance. We, as a society, need to treat [su1c1de] differently.”

    The GMA star is married to fellow TV personality Ben Aaron, and the couple have two children, Adrian, who is seven, and Miles, who is five.

    HEARTBREAKING – Disaster Strikes Without Warning – GMA Host Gio Benitez BREAKS DOWN Live on Air!

    Like many others around the country and the world, the anchors of Good Morning America were left d3vastated upon learning of the w1ldf1res raging throughout the Hawaiian island of Maui, with nearly 100 lives l0st and over 1000 m1ssing.

    The morning news show dedicatedly reported on the d1saster since news first broke on August 8 and it was declared a federal major d1saster.

    On the latest edition of GMAweekend anchor and correspondent Gio Benitez reported on the w1ldf1res from Hawaii itself, and got emotional when unpacking his own personal experience with the situation.

    “You know, I’ve been watching here as Maui transforms from this island paradise to an island in crisis,” he told hosts Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and George Stephanopoulos.

    “And I’ve just got to say, the strength we are witnessing here, on the island right now, is truly remarkable,” he added.

     

    Robin, on a more personal note, asked him about how he felt about the situation, given the fact that he was vacationing in Maui itself when d1saster struck and he went straight to work.

    “How are you?” she asked, and Gio, 37, couldn’t hold back the feeling of gri3f as his eyes welled up with tears and his voice quivered with emotion.

     

    “It’s incredible to see the spirit of ‘Aloha’ play out in real-time,” he said, apologizing for choking up, adding: “We were watching as so many people came together.

    “They dropped everything to help each other. And that was incredibly inspiring to witness here. In the midst of all this sadness, we’re really seeing all of these people lift each other up.”

     

    Robin tenderly responded: “Thank you for your vulnerability, it’s a strength,” and fans responded to the emotion with supportive comments of their own.

    The town of Lāhainā has been the most affected by the w1ldf1res, with a majority of the lives lost from the region. Damage caused by the w1ldf1res are estimated at $6 billion, and while an exact cause is yet to be determined, the fires have been profilerated by the dry, gusty conditions created by high-pressure areas north of the island state combined with the effects of Hurricane Dora.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Sam Champion – The surprise and heartfelt gift from husband Rubem Robierb has fans emotional!

    With summer upon us, many of our favorite daytime celebrities are enjoying some time off, including Good Morning America weather presenter Sam Champion.

    The 62-year-old and his husband Rubem Robierb have been enjoying some time in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and despite it being the middle of summer, the news anchor instead found himself faced with storms instead of rolling sunshine. Taking to his Instagram, Sam showed off the clouds rolling over the hills and the gray skies creating some very choppy waters.

    The poor weather didn’t deter Sam and Rubem from enjoying some time on the beach, as the star shared several snaps of the duo on the sandy shores, including one where they flexed their muscles, showing off their rippling physiques.

    The locals also didn’t seem to mind the weather, as Sam shared some clips of three locals running through the waters, despite the high waves crashing down all around them.

    The meteorologist found himself besotted with the bad weather, as he shared in his caption: “Rio!!!! So beautiful on a stormy day,” however, he did have to find a little bit of shelter as he went to enjoy a cup of coffee.

    Fans were quick to react to his post, as one enthused: “I enjoyed Rio so much the last time we were there. Loved the Brazilian food so very much! Thanks for your wonderful pictures,” and a second said: “You’re not kidding glad you guys are having fun.”

    A third posted: “Beautiful! Hope you are having a wonderful vacation! Miss you on the morning weather!” while a fourth added: “Beautiful video of the rolling waves, just awesome. Thank you for sharing!” while others wished Sam a belated birthday.

    The star turned 62 on Sunday, and his husband pulled out all of the stops to celebrate his big day, treating him with a surprise cake in bed with sparkling candles before the pair celebrated the day with close friends and family.

    “Rubem gave me Birthday Ambush Wake Up Cake and surprised me with this video the algorithm composed,” Sam penned. “In his post, he is absolutely correct to point out… life moves so fast and we rarely get to celebrate friends, experiences and moments… I think a birthday is perfect for this!! Thank you for the sample of video memories.”

    Sam and Rubem first met in 2009 at a New Year’s party, however, they decided to keep their relationship low-key, only announcing their relationship three years later when they attended the wedding of Thomas Roberts and Patrick Abner.

    Gio Benitez is settling in nicely into his latest, high profile role as the anchor of Good Morning America Weekend back in May with co-anchors Janai Norman and Whit Johnson.

    However, the strapping 37-year-old has been quietly winning over viewers for much longer, thanks to his tenure as the transportation correspondent on the main GMA show during the week.

    Gio’s personal life is also as much a part of his appeal, thanks to his role as a diligent reporter on-screen and a loving husband off-screen. Here’s all you need to know about the GMA anchor’s husband and his own lengthy resume…

    Tommy DiDario, also 37, has just as much of a presence on the internet as his husband does, if not more. The handsome TV personality has built a name for himself as a social media strategist and model.

    He has also ventured into acting, making appearances in shows like Broad City, but is most notably known for his work as a correspondent on Extra and The Rachael Ray Show.

    Tommy is also the host of a podcast titled I’ve Never Said This Before and is a fitness influencer, boasting over 244,000 followers on Instagram alone.

    When did Gio Benitez and Tommy DiDario meet?

    It was the magic of social media that brought Gio and Tommy together, as the GMA anchor revealed that he met his future husband on Instagram in January 2015.

     

    Of their introduction, Gio told People: “I used to be one of those guys who never really thought about marriage, and then I met Tommy.

    “We’re both avid users of social media, so we had a perfectly modern first meeting: on Instagram,” he added. “We decided to meet for a drink and that’s when we both realized this was more than a ‘like’ online. The chemistry was instant.”

    Are Gio Benitez and Tommy DiDario married?

    After a few months of dating, Gio popped the question to Tommy in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris on September 17, 2015. They tied the knot a few months later in April, 2016 in the Cuban-American news anchor’s hometown of Miami.

    “It truly is a celebration of love – our own, and what love means in their own lives. We are so moved and humbled to celebrate together.”

     

    While Gio joined ABC News in 2013, he wasn’t as open about his personal life till he announced his engagement in late 2015. In an ABC News segment on coming out as gay last year, he talked about his own experiences.

    Few people know that before their 18-year love story ended in a fairytale wedding, Robin Roberts almost turned down her very first date with Amber Laign. She later admitted in interviews that, due to work pressures and personal hesitation, she nearly skipped that fateful meeting.

    But in a heartwarming twist, it was Lara Spencer and Ginger Zee – Robin’s close colleagues at GMA – who encouraged her to go, gently urging her to open her heart and “give love a chance.” Thanks to their sincere support, Robin decided to show up – and the rest, as they say, is history.

    Robin Roberts tied the knot to long-term partner Amber Laign on Saturday, in front of her Good Morning America co-stars and family.

    The long-running news anchor looked a vision in a statement white halterneck gown for the special day, which co-ordinated beautifully with Amber’s.

    The ceremony was held at the couple’s backyard at their home in Connecticut, and it’s safe to say they had the time of their lives. Following the ceremony – which took place away from their home – Robin and her guests started sharing pictures from the big day, and it looks like a great time was had by all.

    In footage that can be viewed above, Robin captured the moment her siblings all took to the dance floor during the meal to perform a dance routine to a song of their choice.

    They chose This Is How We Do It, by Montell Jordan, much to the surprise of their famous sister. In the caption, she wrote: “One of many highlights, my siblings surprising us with their song choice before their toast! (Thought for sure they’d go with a gospel tune, nope!)”

    The pair were set up on a blind date, which the GMA star admitted nearly didn’t ever happen, as she tried to cancel several times. Luckily, she didn’t and the pair have been each other’s rocks ever since, in both the good and the bad times.

    The former sports broadcaster announced her engagement to Amber at the start of 2023. While speaking with author Gabby Bernstein about “saying yes” to things at the start of the year on GMA, Robin revealed that she and her longtime partner were saying yes to marriage.

    “I’m hesitating, because I haven’t said it out loud yet,” she started, before revealing: “I’m saying yes to marriage, we’re getting married this year.”

    It was clear that members of the studio were delighted by the news, applauding Robin and audibly gasping as she fanned herself with her cue cards, clearly overwhelmed by the news. “We’ve talked about it, but we’d put it off because she became ill. But it is saying ‘yes’ to that next chapter,” she continued.
