Courtney Roker flaunts her baby bump.
The 36-year-old daughter of Today Show weather presenter Al Roker shared her first pregnancy update on Instagram on Sunday after disclosing last month that she and her husband, Wesley Laga, are expecting their first child together.
“Baby (& Mama) is growing,” Courtney said besides a photo of herself smiling and wearing a light-blue dress with cutouts around the waist.
Roker, 68, has a daughter named Courtney with his ex-wife Alice Bell, whom he married from 1984 until 1994. In addition to Courtney, Roker has a son, Nick, 20, and a daughter, Leila, 24, with his wife, Deborah Roberts.
Deborah, 62, wrote, “And so gorgeous!!” in response to Courtney’s baby post.
While Roker has yet to respond to the post, he provided more insight into his daughter’s pregnant journey by sharing behind-the-scenes photographs of them cooking together as they prepare to produce a cookbook.
“This weekend, @ouichefroker and I spent the day photographing our next, as-yet nameless #cookbook,” the television personality stated in a Monday post. “Thank you for a long but rewarding day, @amyrothphoto and @christina nuzzo. Keep an eye out for the publication date from editor @krishantrotman and @legacylitbooks.”
He sat down with his fellow Today Show hosts last month to discuss Courtney’s pregnancy, stating that he first learned about it from his son-in-brother. law’s
“That was accidentally dropped in a text by Wes’ silly brother,” he told Hoda Kotb. “Thank you, Cory.”
To mark the beginning of his new chapter as a first-time grandfather, Roker quipped that he already has a “grandfather name,” saying, “I think in honor of my dad, I’m going to try to go for ‘Pop-Pop.’”
Courtney first announced the news with a video set to Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby,” captioned “A new adventure is about to begin.”
Courtney uploaded photographs of herself and Laga in the video before the music switched to an acoustic version by Brent Morgan, which featured a sonogram.
The wedding will occur on June 4, 2021, at the Ashford Estate in New Jersey. Courtney’s younger sister Leila served as maid of honor, and many of Roker’s Today coworkers attended the wedding, including Kotb, 58, Dylan Dreyer, Craig Melvin, and Sheinelle Jones.
