Robin Roberts regaled a terrifying experience live on-air on Wednesday when she stunned viewers with a reveal about her homelife with wife Amber Laign.
During a news segment on GMA discussing the issues with bears roaming in people’s gardens, Robin chimed in with a wildlife run-in of her own.
“I remember in my backyard in Connecticut, we had bears,” she suddenly said, as George Stephanopoulos and Rebecca Jarvis looked on in surprise. “You had the mama bear and then suddenly the baby bears,” said Robin before adding: “You really have to be careful.”
Earlier this year, Robin shared footage of her and Amber’s reaction to the animals who climbed over their garden fence.
At the time, she captioned the clip: “We had visitors in our CT backyard & as you can hear Sweet Amber was a weee bit stressed.”
The two huge animals could be seen gaining access to their property. Amber was filming and Robin could be heard saying: “Get away from the window.”
Clearly concerned by the incident, Amber whispered: “Oh my gosh,” and her partner of almost two decades questioned: “Should we call someone?”
Fortunately, no damage was done and Robin was later able to deliver an update and said the bears had “got bored and decided to move on”.

When Robin isn’t working on GMA in NYC, she resides at their main home with Amber, often giving glimpses into their idylic life on social media.

Robin bought the country home for just $410,000 more than two decades ago and the house comes complete with a light and airy conservatory space as well as a pool in the garden.

During a previous appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the TV host told Robin: “I’m reading in the book that you don’t live together because you get up at 3am,” in reference to her book, Everybody’s Got Something, that was released in 2014.
