When did Robin Roberts come out as a Lesbian?

In December 2013, Robin came out as a Lesbian after she transplanted her bone marrow. The Good Morning America host got candid about her decision to come out in a 2022 interview with PEOPLE,

“I am so encouraged today by so many LGBTQ+ people who are visible in my industry. Somewhat ironically, when I came out, it was my industry who kept reporting. ‘Gay! She’s gay! Oh!’ Meanwhile the public was going like, ‘uh, duh! Really? That’s your headline?'”

She continued,

“But I didn’t come out necessarily for me. I did it because I love [my partner] Amber. I was just thanking everybody. I did it via a simple social media post where I thanked my doctors, my parents.”
“But then, was I not going to thank this woman who had been by me through this illness? But people got it. ‘Oh, she’s just grateful,’ they said. ‘It’s just love.’ They didn’t make it anything more than me living my life. Now people ask me about Amber like they would if her name was Andy. Sometimes I have to pause and take that in.”

How long have Robin Roberts and Amber Laign been together?

Robin and Amber met through a mutual friend in 2005. The two instantly connected with each other and began dating shortly after.

The newlywed couple kept their relationship private until December 2013 when Robin came out as lesbian. In a 2013 Facebook post, the former Jeopardy! guest host also revealed her relationship status that she is dating her now-life partner Amber Laign.

Roberts opened up about keeping her relationship during an appearance on The Ellen Show in April 2014.

“Not everybody wants to be in the spotlight, She’s very, very supportive and she’s been right there behind me every step of the way.”

In August, Robin shared how they proposed to each other back in 2022.

“We took the calamari rings and we slipped them on each other’s fingers, and we proposed to one another.”

She also went on to reflect on the tough times that they endured including their battles with breast cancer and Robin’s bone marrow transplant as well as the passing of her mother and Amber’s father.

“It has not always been a bed of roses, There have been some throns. We’ve really early on learned how to become a partnership and work together and truly, truly one another. And to have someone by your side like that is a gift.”
