It’s been seven months since Robin Meade announced the end of her beloved HLN talk show, Morning Express With Robin Meade. Since stepping away from the TV spotlight, this charismatic newscaster has been making the most of her time. She's been reconnecting with friends and creating cherished memories with her family. Her Instagram feed gives us a glimpse into her heartwarming life away from the screen.
In a recent Instagram post, Robin, 54, shared a touching reflection on a family tradition she now treasures more than ever. "What yearly family event did you take for granted, but now cherish like gold?" she mused. "The first ‘mess of green beans’ each year is a BIG DEAL for the Meades," she wrote. With a playful tone, she added, "Dad plants and picks them. Mom preps and pressure cooks them. Everyone else’s job? To eat them. LOL." It’s clear that this family tradition is more than just about food—it’s about togetherness.
A Family Affair: Celebrating Loved Ones
Robin shared a carousel of photos capturing the joyous family gathering. In one heartwarming image, she posed with her mom and dad as they prepared for the annual celebration. This wasn’t just about green beans—it was about celebrating life and family. "I’m so grateful to see these two last weekend learning to handle their newly renovated kitchen ‘like a boss,’” Robin wrote in her post. But the deeper sentiment came next: "A year after Dad’s health scare and years after Mom tackled her own, having them with us and thriving is a cause for celebration every day." Her words remind us of the importance of cherishing every moment with loved ones.

It’s a nod to the playful bond she shares with her family.

Reconnecting With Her Morning Show Family
Before sharing these intimate moments with her parents, Robin had a mini-reunion with some of her former Morning Express co-anchors. The group, including Susan Hendricks, Bob Van Dillen, Shyann Malone, Melissa Knowles, Elizabeth Prann, and Kristina Fitzpatrick, spent a fun evening at The Splatter Studio, an immersive painting experience. Robin captioned the post, “Former morning show anchors reunion! Expressing ourselves … via paint? LOL. I missed these folks, so we got together (for the first time as a group since our show ended in early December).”
The comments section was flooded with love and nostalgia from fans who have missed seeing all of the anchors on air together. One fan wrote, “I have still not adjusted to you being taken off air. BEST NEWS CREW.” Another added, “I miss everyone, you had the best news team. What a big mistake.” It’s clear that Robin and her team had a special connection with their audience, one that continues to resonate long after the show ended.
