“Good Morning America”’s Robin Roberts graces the cover of the May issue of Good Housekeeping magazine, and opens up about her health — both past and present — as well as her partner, Amber Liagn and coming out.


Regarding her health, she credits her optimistic outlook as one of the tools she used to overcome her cancer, and losing her mother in the midst of her treatment for it.  Regarding coming out, she says many have been supportive, while others questioned her decision to do so.

According to Roberts, some asked “’Why didn’t you say something about her before?  Why are you only recognizing her now?’ News flash: Some people like their anonymity. This is what’s right for me.  Love is love, and I’m grateful to have that. Sometimes there’s a stigma attached to how people view you if you’re living a certain way. But I don’t care — you gotta live your life. You gotta find what happiness means for you, and you can’t get caught up in what someone is saying about you on Twitter. You don’t go through a year like I did to not be happy and not make your own choices.”

The May issue of Good Housekeeping magazine is on newsstands this week.
