Robin Rene Roberts is an American television broadcaster, author, and newscaster for the ABC News program Good Morning America. Born in Alabama, and raised in Pass Christian, Mississippi, Roberts attended Pass Christian High School and graduated Salutatorian in 1979, before attending college at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond, LA, and graduating Cum Laude in 1983 with a communications degree. Roberts was interested in becoming a journalist early in life, much like her sister, Sally-Ann Roberts, who was a News anchor for CBS affiliate WWL-TV at the time. While in school, Roberts played basketball and was one of the only women on the school’s team, Lady Lions, to score 1,000 points and grab 1,000 career rebounds. Following her education, Roberts went on to become a sports anchor in 1983 for WDAM-TV in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and in 84, relocated to CBS affiliate WLOX-TV in Biloxi, MS. By 1986, she was working as a sports anchor and reporter in Nashville, TN, for WSMV-TV and WAGA-TV in Atlanta, GA. Her first big break into sportscasting came in 1990 when Roberts began reporting for the popular sports network ESPN, a position she would hold until 2005. It was also in the mid-90s where Roberts would begin acting as a featured reporter for the morning show Good Morning America, the program that she now hosts. While her career and academics may already impress you, just wait till you see Robin Roberts house! Keep reading for more on Robin Roberts home, her family, and her finances.

Where Does Robin Roberts Live?

Robin Roberts home is located in Farmington, Connecticut. Her spacious abode there is not only her current residence but also her workplace during the COVID-19 quarantine. More on Robin Roberts house below!

Full disclosure, we’re not convinced that the Connecticut home below is the only one in that area, it’s just the only one we can validate through public records. Her Instagram content shows a much larger home and lavish backyard, but there is no record of that home. She may have just renovated and it’s just not visible on Goggle Maps…

Robin Roberts Connecticut House

Though details regarding Robin Roberts home in Farmington are scarce, we were able to nab some info about her Connecticut digs – for starters, the contemporary residence was built in 1990 and was purchased by Roberts back in 1994 for $410,000, according to property records. The property sits on a 0.92-acre lot that’s almost entirely encased in lush vegetation, providing tons of privacy from neighbors and potential onlookers.

As for interior and exterior details, the single-family home features 4-bedrooms, 3.5-bathrooms, a fireplace, 3,396 square feet of living space, and an uber private deck out back that’s perfect for entertaining guests or soaking up some sun. The residence also features a full basement, which is where Roberts has set up her office to work from home. In fact, you may have even seen her basement workspace on episodes of Good Morning America.

Robin Roberts House in Key West

So, despite extensive (and we mean extensive) research as to the whereabouts of anchor Robin Roberts’ vacation home in Key West, we were, unfortunately, unable to actually pinpoint her address. However, we were able to dig up some details about her secret getaway in the Florida Keys.

What we’ve been able to find is that Roberts co-owns a place with some close friends in the old town area of Key West, within walking distance of her favorite restaurants El Siboney Restaurant and The Flaming Buoy. The home is a small bungalow featuring 2 bedrooms as well as a swimming pool and white picket fence. It’s believed that she purchased the place, for an unknown amount, in the early 2000s.

Sadly, however, this was not the end of her health issues, since she was still battling Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), a rare and potentially fatal blood disease that she was diagnosed with in 2012. Roberts would later undergo a lifesaving bone marrow transplant, with her sister being the marrow donor.

Bye Felicia Meme

Okay, so at this point in time, pretty much everyone and their grandmama knows the meme “Bye Felicia”, but just in case you missed the joke, it’s a reference from the film Friday and was invented by rapper Ice Cube, who explains “It’s a phrase to get anybody out of your face that’s saying something stupid.”

Now that we’ve covered the origins, let’s go into how this connects with Roberts. Back in 2017, Roberts used the phrase in reference to Omarosa Manigault Newman’s exit from the White House, where she was working as an assistant to the president and the White House public liaison at the time.
