Roker told PEOPLE earlier this year thatRoberts was his major supportduring a health scare last fall.
In PEOPLE’s first-ever Love Issue in 2021, Roberts shared that her husband is a master ofromantic gestures. “He does things like he sprinkles little love notes, little cards throughout my life,” she said in a Zoom interview at the time.
In the mornings, “sometimes there’s a little card next to the coffee maker that might say something encouraging or sweet or impish or fun,” she said. “When I travel, I open my suitcase and I find one or two notes in there that he’s slipped in, or in my purse. ‘Have a great day. I’m thinking of you.’ Or an Emily Dickinson sonnet or something,” Roberts shared.
“And I’m just like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ It just touches me. And he thinks that way all the time. He’s a real romantic,” she added.
