AL Roker's wife Deborah Roberts has posted a cryptic message after taking a break for her health.

Deborah, 62, posted a video update on Instagram on Friday, telling followers that her health had taken a hit.

She subsequently stated that she would be taking a social media break to "recharge" and "renew."

The ABC correspondent has had a challenging few months as her husband Al, 68, was hospitalized twice.

In a break from her social media hiatus, the news reporter posted a picture of a pink flower followed by one of a densely populated garden.

The photo of the blooming garden had the caption: "Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace."

In the Instagram story, the quote was credited as a French proverb but has also been connected to religion.

A number of people believe it is about making the most of whatever opportunity God has given you.

In Deborah's video explaining her break, she told her followers that she "has a frog in her throat" and felt under the weather.

"Sometimes your body says 'Enough. It's time to take a break, recharge, renew' and I think my body is screaming that right now," she said.

Deborah added: "So I am going to do just that. I'm going to take a little breather, take a couple of days and try to refresh and recharge.

"Going to sign off social media and just do a little focus on me... I'll see ya when I see ya."

While she has taken a break from some aspects of her life, she is still continuing her work on ABC.

Meanwhile, Al's recovery has seen him delight viewers by returning to The Today Show.

It seems the pair, who have been married since 1995, spent the weekend relaxing.

Al posted on his Instagram a video of a roaring fire while showing that the outside temperature was a biting 28 degrees Fahrenheit.

Fans of Deborah have been sending their sympathies following her announcement that she needed to "recharge."

"You definitely need to take it easy! you have been through a LOT the past few months," one comment read.

Another added: "Have a peaceful rest. You've been running hard for quite a while now."

A number of others sent their well-wishes to Deborah and told her to rest up.

Al was hospitalized over the holidays with blood clots in his legs and lungs and internal bleeding which saw him lose "half his blood."

This followed a battle with Covid in September.

Deborah said how she feared her husband would not make it to Christmas and how she and the family "were losing hope... we did really think we were going to lose him."

Last week, the pair celebrated their first Valentine's Day following his illness by returning to the location of their first date.

"At this table. It felt magical. We laughed. We talked. And we discovered something special. And here we are! Again!"
