Al’s Second Tribute
Al didn’t stop there. He posted another tribute to his wife, sharing photos of their journey together. “When you see what I looked like 29 years ago, it’s even more amazing @debrobertsabc married me,” he joked. He concluded with, “Here’s to a woman who has questionable taste and even more questionable eyesight.”
Deborah’s Sweet Response
Deborah Roberts also celebrated the occasion by sharing photos from their wedding and their life today. “How it began … how it is now. Still racing toward love and life with you @alroker and so delighted for every adventure,” she wrote. “You bring the #joy. Here’s to 29 more years. #happyanniversary. Thanks @alberenfeld.”
Al and Deborah tied the knot in 1995, and since then, they’ve built a beautiful family together. They share two children, Leila and Nicholas, along with Al’s eldest daughter, Courtney, from his previous marriage to Alice Bell.
Emotional Milestones
Just recently, the couple faced another milestone in their lives as they dropped their youngest child, Nicholas, off at college. Al shared the bittersweet moment on Instagram with a caption that read, “Dropped Nick off this afternoon. Hard to believe we have a college junior!! House is a little too quiet.” Deborah echoed similar sentiments, sharing, “Well, that’s that. Move in, done. Nest is empty again. Certainly not as bad as year one. Yet, our hearts are sagging a bit. But his smile ensures that we will all be ok. Here’s to a great junior year, Nick.”
Grandparenthood Brings New Joys
While Al might be adjusting to an empty nest, he’s finding plenty of joy in his role as a grandfather. His granddaughter, Sky Clara Laga, born to Courtney and her husband, Wesley Laga in July 2023, has become the center of his world. Al recently told People, “I’m going to do everything I didn’t do as a parent with my grandchildren. I am breaking all the rules.”
He added with a smile, “This kid’s going to be on sugar overload. She’s going to get whatever she wants. It’s going to be fantastic.” For Al, being a grandpa “outranks everything,” and he’s ready to spoil Sky in every possible way. “So as long as there’s nothing to do with giving them a car when they can’t drive or anything. I think all bets are off when it comes to grandparents,” he concluded.
