On October 10, Roberts spoke to the “Today” show about their families and being “stewards” and “shepherds” to their children.
“The truth is … no matter how old we are — George being the oldest of us — they have chosen us in this moment to be their stewards and their shepherds in this life experience. I met Danny when I was ready. You met Amal when you were ready. And then we call these children into our lives when we’re ready to best partner with them,” she said.
