Deborah Roberts shared a rare family throwback on Thursday morning as she looked back on memories with her siblings, and her fans were left absolutely stunned.
The newly announced co-lead anchor of ABC's 20/20, the 63-year-old took to Instagram with a photograph of her six siblings, featuring five sisters and only one brother.
Deborah herself sported a bob that flared at the sides (a classic "flip"), wearing a silk green blouse with a scarf tied around the waist, a black pencil skirt, and a long beaded necklace, a perfect time capsule of a fit.
She wrote alongside the image: "Thankful Thursday throwback. When growing up in a large family, it's hard to believe that the challenges and dinner time chaos will later warm your heart when looking back.
"Ran across this photo recently and just broke into a grin thinking of my beautiful sibs and our boundless support and love for each other. So blessed to have been lifted in life by this bunch!"
Fans loved getting a glimpse into the journalist's early life, although many were stunned to see all the sisters and her lone brother standing beside them, as one commenter wrote: "Your poor brother with all those sisters!"

Deborah now has a big family of her own with her husband Al Roker, a popular TV personality himself, the longtime meteorologist of NBC's Today Show.
She and Al are parents to a daughter, Leila, 24, and son Nick, 21, and they also co-parent Courtney, 36, Al's daughter from his first marriage.
