Family connection
During a segment on GMA, Lara praised Will for his commencement speech at the Brunswick School in Connecticut, which she attended with her son Duff.

Lara and Will have a special family connection
After more words of praise, Lara revealed that Will holds a special place in her heart because he was once her son’s ‘Big Brother’, referring to the school program which matches a volunteer adult mentor with a child for regular, one-to-one mentoring relationships.
“It was so good to go, and Duff was there, my son, because he also attended, and Will was his big brother,” Lara told her co-hosts Michael Strahan, Robin Roberts, and George Stephanopoulos.
Will couldn’t keep the smile from his face as he recalled their first meeting, telling his co-hosts: “I was in high school, and Duff was what, like kindergarten. It was where we first met and hung out.”

Meanwhile, GMA shared a clip of Will addressing Brunswick School’s class of 2025 with a speech that Lara called “emotional”.
“I’ve lived my life determined to live up to the Reeve family name, to be everything they knew I could be, and it’s nice when people tell me my parents must be so proud of me because I like to think that they are too,” he said.
“But I know all that they would want for me is that I make myself proud, so when I do that, I am living their values and I’m being everything I know I can be.”

Returning to the studio, Lara shared more insights into Will’s speech, saying: “It was so beautiful, I was so proud to be there.
“Will also shared that he found his love of writing at Brunswick. He also said it’s okay to not know what you want to do with the rest of your life, that’s what college is for, so be courageous, try everything and anything that’s a little bit appealing. I thought that was such good advice.”
She added: “He also said that he learned how to tie his own tie at Brunswick, which has come in handy here with us at Good Morning America, so you did good, Brunswick.”
