Al Roker and Deborah Roberts' shared commitment to healthy living doesn't stop them from enjoying good food. In 2016, the couple admitted to The New York Times that they feast on gluten-free pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon on Sunday mornings. Roberts takes issue with Roker using malted milk to prepare the pancakes. "Extra calories," she complained to The New York Times, "Keep it clean, keep it simple." On Sunday evenings, Deborah Roberts reads (The Atlantic, Time, and Vogue) in bed. "We don't have TVs in our bedrooms," she explained. That's because Roberts is a hard-hitting journalist, in her own right. "I did a report on the negative effects of the light being emitted from the screen," said Roberts, "It is toxic to sleep."

What else has Deborah Roberts reported on as an Emmy-award winning news correspondent for ABC? You might be familiar with her work about maternal health in Bangladesh, and HIV/AIDS in Africa (via ABC). Before that, as a correspondent for Dateline NBC, Roberts traveled to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait to cover the end of the Persian Gulf War. Most recently, Roberts held a roundtable with women of color running in the 2020 general elections (via KLTV). "115 of [the women running for Congress this year] are women of color," explained her roundtable to KLTV, "It's unprecedented, we've never seen a number that big... many of them are just feeling very empowered, they're very engaged and they want to make a difference in their communities."
