“We celebrate you and all your gifts of kindness, loyalty and love. May this day bring you all the magic and beauty that you offer to us all.”
Deborah and Al, 68, have two children together – Leila and Nicholas, 20.
Her post comes hours after The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that Al is struggling with an “ongoing health issue” amid his two-week absence from the Today show.
A source close to the beloved weatherman explained that he “hasn’t been feeling well.”
The insider said: “He’s been off the air for almost two weeks, it’s been an ongoing issue he’s been dealing with.

“He’s such a wonderful and energetic guy, so it’s hard to remember that he’s 68 years old,” the insider added.
Earlier this week, Deborah revealed her husband has been feeling “under the weather”.
She had posted a new GMA segment she was working on for the show’s next book club pick.
One concerned social media user asked: “Is Al Roker ill? Hasn’t been on Instagram or on the Today show. Worried.”
