Sam Champion, weatherman on "Good Morning America," is engaged to be married — and in announcing his wedding plans, he quietly became the first morning-show co-anchor to come out to the public as gay.
"We are thrilled and so excited and thank everyone for their good wishes,” Champion said on behalf of himself and boyfriend Rubem Robierb, a Miami-based, Brazilian-born fine-arts photographer.
Champion is likely to discuss his plans on "GMA" Monday, according to the New York Times' Media Decoder blog, which noted his "first" status. His sexual orientation had been no secret, however, to "colleagues and competitors in the media industry," the blog said.
