Al Roker is beaming with joy as he talks openly about becoming a first-time grandfather to his “flawless” granddaughter, Sky Clara Laga. On Monday’s episode of Today, the weatherman enthusiastically shared the news of his daughter Courtney Roker and her husband Wesley Laga’s first child, born on July 3. He made it clear that his granddaughter’s name was not connected to his line of work.
During the show, Al happily reported that the family was “doing well” and described the experience as magical. He mentioned that Courtney had a cesarean section and was facing some challenges, while Wes was adjusting to the gravity of being a new dad, but still maintaining his buoyant personality.
Al expressed his excitement about his new role, likening it to the anticipation of having a first child. Holding little Sky, he marveled at the connection, knowing that almost 35 years ago, he held her mom. He described Sky as a perfect baby, weighing 5 lbs., 15 oz. and measuring 19 inches long.
He amusingly added that Sky is a great sleeper, following a schedule that coincides with his own sleep pattern.
Furthermore, Al revealed that he wasn’t the only family member overjoyed with Sky’s arrival. His 20-year-old son, Nick, whom he shares with his wife Deborah Roberts, was also ecstatic and enchanted when he held his new niece.
In conclusion, Al warmly welcomed Sky to the world, emphasizing that she is already deeply loved and cherished, and that the love for her will only continue to grow.
