Ginger Zee Makes Surprise GMA Cameo: What's Behind Her Recent Absence?

Ginger Zee Makes Rare ‘GMA’ Cameo After Being Replaced by Sam Champion

Good Morning America fans were thrilled to catch a glimpse of Ginger Zee on Monday, March 4, but the weather anchor wasn't quite back in the bustling New York City studio just yet. Instead, viewers got a special treat with a quick cameo appearance from the beloved meteorologist. Her fans couldn't help but notice the change and were eager to know more about her recent absence.

Just before heading to Philadelphia, Ginger, 43, gave her followers a heads-up with a warm greeting: “Almost to Philadelphia where I’ll be broadcasting for @GMA — how are you all this morning?” This simple message from the early hours of Monday morning hinted at her excitement to connect with her audience, even if it wasn't from her usual spot in the GMA studio.

Ginger Zee's Philadelphia Adventure

Trading the familiar backdrop of the GMA studio for the vibrant streets of Philadelphia, Ginger Zee made quite the style statement. Dressed in a striking red suede jacket paired with jeans, she attended the prestigious Philadelphia Flower Show. Before her GMA segment aired, Ginger shared a picturesque photo showcasing the floral splendor, allowing her social media followers to enjoy a piece of the event through her lens.

    Stepping Away from the Studio

    Ginger's absence from the GMA studio began earlier last week, leaving fans curious about her whereabouts. During this time, the ever-reliable Sam Champion stepped in, taking over weather forecasting duties with his signature flair. But Ginger wasn't far from the action. On February 28, she teased her fans with an exciting announcement: “Heading out for a big assignment I’ve been waiting and working to cover for a long time! Can’t wait to share with you all on @ABCNewsLive & @GMA soon … thanks for holding down the fort @Wx_Max @SamWnek @SamChampion.”

    A few days later, Ginger revealed she was wrapping up her assignment and heading home to spend quality time with her family. On X, she posted, “A few more hours until I can be home and wake-up with my boys. Can’t wait,” expressing her eagerness to reunite with husband Ben Aaron and their sons, Adrian and Miles.

    Ginger Zee's Upcoming Projects

    Though Ginger hasn't divulged too many details about her recent hiatus, she did hint at an exciting new project in the works. In a teasing message on X, she wrote, “Earth month coming up so I’ve got some huge stories to bring you soon.” Her fans are already buzzing with anticipation, eager to see what she has in store for them in the coming weeks.

    Ginger joined the ABC team back in 2011, and in 2013, she took over as chief meteorologist on GMA after Sam Champion, 62, left the show. Sam eventually returned to ABC on a part-time basis after a three-year stint at The Weather Channel. In a statement at the time, the network expressed gratitude: “While Sam will always be part of The Weather Channel family, we have mutually agreed to not enter into a new contract. As our managing editor, host of our flagship AMHQ and his pioneering work on 23.5 Degrees, Sam’s leadership has helped transform The Weather Channel into the dynamic high-quality environment it is today.”

    Nowadays, whenever Ginger is away from GMA, Sam is the go-to person to fill in, much to the delight of viewers who love seeing both meteorologists on screen!
