GMA’s Sam Champion shares photos of beach vacay with husband
The renowned meteorologist shared a carousel post on Instagram which included a few selfies on Rio’s beach.
In the snaps, Champion and Robierb can be seen shirtless, donning a pair of orange shorts and a cap that reads Micareta.
Champion flaunts his abs in one of the pics while he leans in to get into the frame for a second selfie.
The duo also shared a snap with some locals on the beach with Champion revealing his reason for being in Rio at this hour.
The ‘GMA’ star is attending his first Micareta, an off-season celebration similar to Brazilian Carnival.
They are similar to the Bahian Carnival and very different from the samba school parades that are popular in Rio de Janeiro.
Champion spoke about it in the caption of his post and also revealed that he has a lot of photos but unfortunately couldn’t post them due to his phone being stolen.
He wrote, “My first @micaretarj_oficial week in Rio! It’s explained to me “like an off-season Carnival”. I did have pics and videos ..and it was fun… but I can’t show you cause my phone was one of hundreds stolen from my pocket #Rio #iykyk! at @micaretarj_oficial @ipanema always feeling safe and happy @barracadadenise63oficial”

One wrote, “Oh wow! No wonder I didn’t see any posts from you. So sorry my phone was stolen. But I’m glad you and the hubby having fun!”
A second said, “Omg so sorry you had your phone taken! I'd be freaking out! Looks beautiful! Enjoy the rest of your trip, you guys!”
“That’s just awful about your phone. However, you both still look awesome!! What a wonderful life you both are enjoying and it’s so nice sharing it with the love of your life! Stay safe you two,” said another.
Another concerned added, “I thought something was wrong cause you weren't posting.”
