ROBIN Roberts is set to return to her role on Good Morning America following a lengthy absence.
The ABC anchor posted a message on her Instagram – telling fans she is “leaving her happy place” as she confirmed she would be back on our screens on Monday morning.
The 61-year-old, who first joined GMA in 1995, had been taking time out to support her partner, Amber Laign, who has been suffering from breast cancer.
Laign was diagnosed at the end of 2021 and had been receiving chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
But last week Roberts took to Twitter to announce that Laign has completed radiation treatments as the pair spent some quality time together.
And on Sunday, she followed up with a major update on Instagram alongside a picture of her adorable pup Lukas.

Fans were quick to delight in the news as they sent their blessings to Robin and Amber upon their return.
One replied: “Can’t wait Robin. Miss you and the GlamFam. Kisses Sweet Amber. Life is good.”
