Ginger Zee doesn’t see leaving “Good Morning America” or a third pregnancy in her forecast.
The ABC News chief meteorologist took to social media Tuesday, June 3, to slam social media rumors, including one alleged report that the “GMA” fan favorite is exiting the network’s morning show.
“Fake profiles, false stories about me leaving my job, being pregnant and even going into war zones… this platform seems to be rapidly spiraling down… Is there a way we can make this better and get real info shared as much as the fake stuff?” the “Dancing with the Stars” alum wrote on Facebook.
ABC’s Ginger Zee says this part of her morning routine is ‘simplistic’ but so essential
Zee, 44, isn’t working from war zones on “GMA” and hasn’t announced a third child with husband Ben Aaron with whom she shares two sons, Adrian and Miles.
The “Natural Disaster” and “A Little Closer to Home” author appeared in a “GMA” promo titled “Coming Home,” released June 3, as the show reaches the 50-year mark this November, signaling her staying power.
The early riser recently opened up about working the wee hours in an interview for USA TODAY’s The Essentials: “I can’t imagine having a leisurely morning. But I take it, and I make 3:45 a.m. feel as leisurely as possible,” Zee said.
Zee also opened up about negative comments from online critics, saying that it “usually says a lot about who they are and what’s wrong with them,” adding she has “empathy for these people who are so sad, or they need to get that out. And I take it that way, and it’s much easier to take when you start seeing that.”
In March, someone left a critical comment on an Instagram video. “You’re not aging well,” they wrote.
“My first reaction (to the comment) was, ‘Thank God, I get to get older,'” she added. “There (were) a lot of years in my 20s and teens where I was like − like a lot of other people – ‘I don’t even know if I’m worth it.’ I’m so lucky to be alive, let alone aging. Good! Your opinion is that I’m not aging well, but the point is, I’m aging. And I really meant that. I meant that it is a privilege to be able to be aging.”
