Good morning to Robin Roberts’ secret to marriage.

The Good Morning Americaanchor’s wife Amber Laign revealed the surprising hack that has made the couple’s two-decade relationship such a success.

“The true secret: separate apartments,” Amber exclusively told E! News June 12 at the opening night of Jean Smart’s one-woman Broadway show Call Me Izzy. But individual spaces aren’t the only key, as she added, “Communication, keeping it fresh, trust—all the good pillars.”

And Robin couldn’t help but agree with her wife of nearly two years when it came to one of their relationship pillars.

“Trust is very, very big,” Robin explained in their interview, airing on E! News June 16 at 11 p.m. “We've had peaks and valleys—mainly majority peaks, but there have been some valleys.” 

“Once we learned to not look at each other through the lens of our childhood, that was a real breakthrough for us,” she continued. “It was a real understanding [of] having different paths to get here.” 

Robin emphasized the strength of her and Amber’s journey through life together, adding, “I mean, 20 years. Something's got to be working.”

But while Robin and Amber have learned how to make their relationship work over the years, the pair also had an instant connection when they met in 2005. 

"15 years ago I met you for drinks on a blind date that both you and I tried to cancel…twice," Amber wrote in an anniversary Instagram post in 2020, which Robin reposted. "Your grace caught my eye right away and the ease of the evening continued to flow through dinner."

Luckily, neither Robin nor Amber canceled their first date, because another one followed quickly.

"We had a second date soon after and I couldn't believe how at ease I was with you as we shared each other's lives sipping lychee and apple martinis," Amber continued. "You left for Tahiti the following day and during that time apart I grew this feeling inside of me that still is very present today…butterflies."
