"I was coming from Europe this weekend from my daughter's wedding, and the CDC was asking people to voluntarily test," Roker said. "But they didn't say for what, so I just wonder if it was a precaution here."
Roker also mentioned that Leila and Gricourt would be tying the knot on Mother's Day weekend during a May 1 interview withSwooon.
"Our daughter, Leila, is getting married, just before Mother’s Day. That Mother’s Day weekend, actually," Roker told the outlet. “So, that’s kind of her Mother’s Day gift, I guess."
