Deborah had posted footage from their conversation - in which Al popped by to say hi - on Instagram.

In the background of the footage, features from their gorgeous family home were visible, including a large living room with colourful sofas pilled high with cushions, which led out onto a large dining room and kitchen area. 

During the conversation, they chatted about everything from the student's life in Paris, to the Oprah interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, which aired later that evening on CBS.

Leila is in her final year of university in Paris, where she is studying journalism, but returned home to New York over the festive period to celebrate Christmas with her family.

Al is also father to oldest daughter Courtney, who he shares with his ex-wife, who announced the happy news of her engagement last year – something for the family to look forward to once the pandemic is over.

Al and his family have remained incredibly strong following the presenter's prostate cancer diagnosis last year.

Luckily, the popular weatherman received the good news in January that his cancer was "considered undetectable" and he has since been promoting the importance of getting regular checkups on social media.

Deborah said: "My heart just sank to my toes. Because it never even occurred to me that there was anything serious. When he said, 'It's cancer,' I just lost it."

Deborah insisted she would be there for every one of his appointments from there on in and told the publication. "It was very emotional for me.

What if he is not going to be here with me much longer? You really let your mind go there, you cherish and you clutch and you hold on."

Al was able to have successful surgery in November, and is grateful for every day he gets to be with his family, especially for Deborah, who he affectionately calls his "rock".
