Weeks after his wife Ali Wentworth revealed her diagnosis, George Stephanopoulos announces he too has contracted COVID-19.
Monday, the “Good Morning America” co-anchor discussed his illness with colleagues Michael Strahan and Robin Roberts.
Despite testing positive over the weekend, the host of “This Week” says he is not experiencing symptoms.
“I’m one of those cases that are basically asymptomatic,” he explained. “I’ve never had a fever, never had chills, never had a headache, never had a cough, never had shortness of breath.”
“I’m feeling great,” the 59-year-old added.
When Roberts asked how his wife is doing, the journalist responded, “She is doing much, much better… She is going on her fifth day now with no fever, which really is a great sign. Slowly getting out of bed a little bit more each day. So we’re really happy about that.”
Given his wife’s diagnosis, Stephanopoulos said his is “no surprise.”

Earlier this month on Instagram, Wentworth announced her sickness with a pic taken from bed.
“I have tested positive for the Corona Virus. I’ve never been sicker. High fever. Horrific body aches. Heavy chest,” she wrote on April 1. “I’m quarantined from my family. This is pure misery. #stayhome.”
On Monday, she posted images of various things that have helped her through her health battle. Among them are Tylenol, chicken noodle soup, and of course, her husband George!
She also posted a video, set to the tune of Destiny’s Child’s “Survivor,” of her coming out of a 16-day quarantine to her loving family.
