On the Thursday episode of The View, the ABC News correspondent, 61, held back tears as she revealed that her and Roker's 19-year-old son, Nicholas, has been accepted to college.

On their 25th wedding anniversary last year, Roker and Roberts each shared special tributes to each other on social media.

"Dear Sweet Hubby, I remember this magical moment of pure joy (almost) like it was yesterday," Roberts wrote alongside a series of throwback photos of herself and Roker on their wedding day.

"It couldn't possibly have been 25 years ago. Could it?? 25 years of love, laughter, peaks, valleys, discovery, bewilderment, bliss, struggle and all that this journey offers," she continued.

"But through it all, we've tried to remember those beautiful and profound words spoken at our wedding. 'Love is patient, love is kind... it bears all things, hopes all things, endures all thing,' " Roberts wrote, quoting 1 Corinthians 13. "Today I celebrate all that love has allowed. Happy Anniversary my sweet, kind, generous, hilarious and real soulmate. Love Deb🥂♥️🍾🎉🦋 @alroker #happyanniversary."
