Al Roker, Deborah Roberts Detail Life After Dropping Son Off at College


Al Roker is sharing what life is like in his neck of the woods. 

After the Today anchor shared a photo of his and wife Deborah Roberts‘ son Nick moving into his college dorm, he shared a glimpse into his new normal as an empty nester. 

“I feel good,” Al exclusively told E! News in a joint interview with Deborah at the opening night of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art Sept. 19. “I remember I was the first to go to college in my family, and I was the oldest of six. And I know my parents were just kind of thrilled to have one free bed. So, you know, I’m looking forward to his next chapter.”

As for how his wife of 31 years—who also shares daughter Leila, 27, with Al—sees it?

“I feel excited,” she admitted. “It’s always hard for me because at my core, I am a mom and a mama bear, and I miss the kids terribly. But you know what? I love seeing them spread their wings and start to fly a little bit.”
