Why Robin Roberts, Wife Amber Laign Keep Separate Apartments

Good morning to Robin Roberts’ secret to marriage.

The Good Morning America anchor’s wife Amber Laign revealed the surprising hack that has made the couple’s two-decade relationship such a success.

“The true secret: separate apartments,” Amber exclusively told E! News June 12 at the opening night of Jean Smart’s one-woman Broadway show Call Me Izzy. But individual spaces aren’t the only key, as she added, “Communication, keeping it fresh, trust—all the good pillars.”

And Robin couldn’t help but agree with her wife of nearly two years when it came to one of their relationship pillars.

“Trust is very, very big,” Robin explained in their interview, airing on E! News June 16 at 11 p.m. “We’ve had peaks and valleys—mainly majority peaks, but there have been some valleys.” 

“Once we learned to not look at each other through the lens of our childhood, that was a real breakthrough for us,” she continued. “It was a real understanding [of] having different paths to get here.”
