Al Roker Gets Emotional Sharing About His Granddaughter’s Health and the Heartfelt Story Behind His New Book.
Al Roker Reflects on Aging and Health Challenges
Al Roker has always been open about the realities of aging—and his fans deeply appreciate his honesty.
The Today show host has been extremely busy lately, juggling duties such as hosting the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting. Recently, at the age of 70, he shared how these events have affected his body, especially given his past health struggles.
In a heartfelt Instagram post featuring a cozy fireplace video, Al wrote:
“This has been my #fyrefest all weekend. At first, I was beating myself up for not doing more, but then I realized it’s been a long couple of weeks with the @macys #thanksgivingdayparade and the @rockefellercenter #treelighting. At 70, it takes more out of me than it did at 50 or 60. I still love it, but I appreciate downtime even more.”
Support from Family and Fans
After posting his reflection, Al’s wife, Deborah Roberts, showed her support by encouraging him to relax amidst the holiday season’s hectic schedule:
“So happy to see you exhale and chill!! Or warm up, I guess! 🔥”
Deborah wasn’t alone in cheering Al on. Fans flooded his comments with words of encouragement:
“Take care, Al! You are the best! Recharge as long as you need. You remind us all to take care of ourselves. Good man!” one follower wrote.
“Taking care of yourself is always a good choice. You can’t keep pouring from an empty vessel ❤️,” another added.
“Always put yourself first!! We need you @alroker ❤️,” someone else commented.
