This is the first granddaughter for Roker, whose daughter Courtney, 36, welcomed Sky on July 3 with her husband of two years,Wesley Laga.
Shortly after his granddaughter was born, Roker appeared on an episode of Today and opened up about welcoming Sky.
“It is magical, it really is,” said Rokerwhile discussing becoming a grandparent in a conversation withTodayco-anchorsSavannah Guthrie,Hoda Kotb,Craig MelvinandSheinelle Jones. “The thing is, everyone tells you it’s going to be ‘this thing,’ and you don’t know; it’s like when they tell you about having your first child. And then to hold this little girl, knowing almost 35 years ago I held her mom? And here she is, 5 lbs., 15 oz. 19 inches long and she’s just perfect.”
Although the origin of Sky’s name seems to relate to his profession, Roker insisted it “had nothing to do with the fact that I’m a weather person” — though it couldn’t be more fitting. Clara, meanwhile, is the name of Courtney’s godmother, he noted.
A few days after Sky was born,Roker shared photos of his granddaughterand celebrated what her birth meant for his family.
