The Celeb Report exclusively revealed that Rob’s wife, Eryn, secretly filed for divorce on June 18, 2021.
News about the divorce came out after the former couple’s home in Rye, New York was sold for approximately $3million on July 1, 2022.
The pair had spent 11 years of marriage and welcomed two children together: Madelynn, 10, and Mason, 4.
GMA’s weekend meteorologist recently spoke to People Magazine about the ongoing divorce.

Rob said: “The last couple of years has been very difficult.
“I didn’t want this and tried to save the marriage, but we are sadly divorcing.”
He concluded: “My focus now is on my kids.”
Rob’s absence was still felt as viewers watched as Janai, 32, made her debut as the new co-anchor for the weekend edition of GMA.
THE COMMENTS
One fan tweeted: “I LOVE Janai and am so happy she is a permanent fixture at GMA Weekends! I still do miss @RobMarciano.
“He was SO funny with the weekend team and wondering why he is not there as much anymore.”
Another fan added: “Crying while I watch Janai Norman’s tribute to celebrate being named to the GMA Weekend anchor desk. Congrats @janai!
“Looking forward to watching!”
A third fan wrote: “Finally! Should have been decided as soon as Dan made his announcement. Congrats to the perfect team! (Now get Rob back!)”
A fourth person chimed in: “@GMA, why is there no mention of where Rob Marciano is and why isn’t he appearing on weekend GMA? Let your viewers know!”
JANAI’S DEBUT
Meanwhile, Janai shared the news desk with Whit Johnson and news anchor Eva Pilgrim.
During the morning show, viewers claimed they noticed a spark of tension between the weekend anchors.
Whit turned to his new co-anchor and said: “This is like the TV equivalent of putting a ring on it.”
His comment was a reference to promising something like an engagement or wedding ring.
THE BACKLASH
GMA fans slammed Whit’s “rude” comment as one viewer ranted: “Was that already a rude comment coming from Whit? Come on, it’s just her first day!
“What if she doesn’t want a ring? Ugh, men!”
Another fan commented: “Janai, please tell me you are getting combat pay for working with Whit Johnson!”
