"Our al. You never miss a milestone," she wrote. "You've been there for all of our moments... good or painful.. Haley's arrival... my breast cancer diagnosis.... know this @alroker we will be here for you too.... you've got this."
Earlier in the day Hoda’s 66-year-old Today show co-star announced his cancer diagnosis.
"Good news is we caught it earlier," Al said on the show. "Not great news is that it's a little aggressive. I'm going to be taking some time off to take care of this."

Al revealed the cancer discovery was detected during a routine check-up in late September.
He spoke about the moment he was told and said: "When he started, he closed his door and said, 'I always like to have these discussions face to face'.
"And I was like, 'Uh-oh. Well, that doesn't sound good'.
"You hear the word 'cancer' and your mind goes, it's the next level, you know?"

"We'll just wait and see. Hopefully in about two weeks, I'll be back," he said.
"I don't want people thinking, 'Oh, poor Al,' you know, because I'm gonna be OK.
"You know what? If that's what it takes to get 2020 out, then let's just get it outta the way. Boom! Let's just finish it off. I'm ready. How about you?"
