NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Today’ meteorologist Al Roker's absence continues on NBC show as he celebrates his wife, Deborah Roberts 63 birthday.

Roker was missing for the entire week from the ‘Today’ show following the celebrations for his 28th wedding anniversary and Roberts’ birthday.

Roker and Roberts took to their Instagram to share throwback pictures from their wedding day. The photos notably show Roker has undergone extreme weight loss in recent years due to a health scare.

Roker captioned the post as he gushed his love to Roberts, “28 years ago, @debrobertsabc promised to be there for better, for worse, thick and thin. Good times and Bad. But the greatest gift is the family she has given me. Happy Anniversary, sweetheart.”
