BREAKING: Escaping danger by seconds – while rumors of Quitting GMA spread louder – BUT Ginger Zee brushed it off and stayed laser-focused on work: “People out there need us more.”

Ginger Zee, longtime Good Morning America weather anchor, narrowly avoided being stranded in Chicago this week as severe st0rms, intense fl00ding, and strong winds swept across parts of the U.S.

She had traveled to Chicago to cover the chaotic weather and attend the 2025 Windy City Smokeout. Shortly after she returned to New York, more than 9,000 flights were delayed and nearly 800 were canceled, especially at O’Hare Airport. “Ginger got out just in time,” said her colleague Stephanie Ramos, who reported from the airport after her own flight was delayed multiple times and eventually scrapped.

On air, Rebecca Jarvis remarked: “Glad you made it back from Chicago yesterday, Ginger,” to which she replied: “Yes, me too.”

Despite the travel scare, Ginger praised Chicago, noting that her mother lives there. While rumors swirl about her possibly leaving GMA, she expressed excitement over their brand-new studio in Hudson Square: “LOVE IT! The vibe is amazing.”

Off-camera, Ginger and her husband Ben Aaron are raising their sons, Adrian (9) and Miles (7), with a strong environmental ethic. “We talk about sustainability every day. My kids can’t even eat something without knowing where it came from,” she said.

They are currently rewilding their yard, replacing manicured grass with native plants. “Traditional lawns waste water, fertilizers, and chemicals — we need to rethink that.”

She also revealed they’ve stopped sharing their children’s faces online: “AI risks made us change. It never felt like their choice.”
