Robin and Amber’s love story
Robin and Amber’s love story began when their friends decided that they should meet each other. When they finally met, Amber was amazed by Robin’s beauty and was left breathless. They’ve been together ever since, and their wedding was a beautiful celebration of their love.
Robin Roberts and her partner first met in 2005 on a blind date set up by friends. They kept their relationship private until 2013 when Roberts came out as gay in a Facebook post. Throughout their time together, they faced both highs and lows. In 2007, Roberts battled and overcame breast cancer, only to be diagnosed with a rare blood and bone marrow disease called myelodysplastic syndrome five years later. She needed a bone marrow transplant to survive, and during this challenging period, her partner was a pillar of support.
In December 2021, Roberts had the opportunity to return the favor. When her partner received a breast cancer diagnosis, Roberts cared for her with unwavering love and strength. Despite having faced breast cancer herself, she admitted that supporting her partner through it was emotionally difficult. But together, they navigated the tough journey, with Roberts sharing her own experiences to guide her partner. In July 2022, Roberts happily announced that her partner had completed radiation treatment, marking an important milestone in her recovery.
