Al Roker is celebrating a sentimental occasion!
When it comes to one thing folks know about the Today show host, it's how much he loves to share sweet moments of his family with fans. And he did just that on May 14 when he honored his daughter, Courtney Roker Laga, for her birthday by sharing a video montage on Instagram.
The snippet featured photos of Courtney, Al and their family over the years, and along with it, the TV news added a very sweet caption.
"A #happybirthday to my oldest child and the first one to make me realize the adage, 'To have a child is to have your heart beating outside of your body,'" he emotionally wrote in the caption. "Is true. Here’s to another year ‘round the sun. I love you, @ouichefroker."
Shortly after Al posted the heartfelt dedication online, it didn't take long before Courtney responded to the message.
"Thanks Dad! ❤️🥰," she replied in the comments.
Fans couldn't help but also comment about the sweet montage.
"I love the pictures! What a beautiful family. So many memories! Happiest of Birthdays Courtney! 🎂🙌🏽," one person wrote. "Happy Birthday, beautiful family, beautiful pictures 😍," another penned. "Happy Birthday Lovely and thank you for sharing your darling baby girl with us!! 💝," a different follower added.
We want to wish Courtney a very happy birthday, too!
