Today show fans, let's all congratulate Al Roker on his latest family news!
The NBC host is famous for working on TV, but in his personal life, he's a proud father to three kids: daughters Courtney (who's married to Wesley Laga and share daughter Sky Clara) and Leila and son Nick. Well, it looks like one more person is joining the Roker family, as he went on Instagram to announce Leila's engagement to Sylvain Gricourt. Posting pictures of Sylvain proposing to Leila while on vacation in Venice, Italy, Al expressed how excited he was for the couple to embark on a new future together.
"Well, it is now official," he wrote in the caption. "@gricourt.thegreat has proposed to my little girl, @leilaroker in the romantic city of Venice. We could not be happier, and look forward to planning for these two wonderful young folks coming together."
Once Al shared the heartfelt news, it didn't take long for some of his Today co-stars to chime in with kind words for the happy couple.
"Yesssssss!!!" Savannah Guthrie congratulated in the comments. "Congrats!!🍾🎉🥂💍," Carson Daly added.
Al's co-workers weren't the only ones excited by his family update. Fans were equally ecstatic about Leila and Sylvain's engagement.
"Congratulations Uncle Al, to you and your beautiful family! More blessings ahead! ♥️♥️♥️," one person declared. "Soooo special!! Congratulations to the happy couple!! 🎉🎉❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽," another declared. "Wonderful news, best wishes to the bride and groom!" a different follower replied.
Well, this is such a lovely way to kick off March! And Al isn't the only one elated for Leila. Her mom, Al's wife Deborah Roberts, shared her own sentimental post on X (formerly Twitter), expressing how happy she is for Leila's next chapter.
"I’m overjoyed. My little girl found her soulmate," she wrote alongside a photo of Leila and Sylvain. "A wedding is coming up soon. Best wishes @LeilaRoker."
Congrats to all!
