Al Roker is marking a personal occasion—and his wife Deborah Roberts was on hand to help him celebrate.
The longtime Today show host marked turning 71 years old when his birthday occurred on August 20. As Al and Deborah are currently on vacation in Italy, it was only fitting that Deborah would find a special way to highlight this personal moment for her husband. So, Deborah decided to share a post on Instagram, full of pictures of Al from the couple's various adventures. And if that's not enough, Deborah had a heartfelt message to give to Al (whom she's been married to for 29 years).
"To the man who brings life, love and laughs to my world, a heartfelt happy birthday," Deborah paid tribute to Al in the caption. "Your kindness, joy and generosity are boundless blessings. Love you so much! Please join me in showering @alroker with the biggest birthday wishes his heart can hold!"
As soon as fans saw how Deborah paid tribute to Al on his birthday, they also took to social media to send birthday wishes.
"Happy Birthday to the guy who does it all - and so well ❤️🎂🎉," one person declared in the comments. "Happy birthday Al!! Wishing you an incredible new year around the sun!!🥳🥳🥳🎂🎂🎂🥂🥂🥂," another cheered. "❤️❤️❤️ Happy Birthday Mr. Al Roker … love and happiness to you and your family," a different follower added.
What a sweet way for Deborah to highlight this moment in Al's life! And it's clear the couple's love for one another continues to grow, based on how the two talk about their marriage of almost three decades.
"I have been blessed to be married to someone who makes me a better journalist, a dad, a person," Al stated about Deborah while accepting a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Emmys back in June. "While I am thankful for an Emmy, I'm even happier I have a Debbie, because we're celebrating 30 years this September."
