Robin Roberts had an apology to make on Tuesday when she returned to Good Morning America in the Big Apple following some time away. 

The popular star confessed she was late for her 'Daily Prayer' segment which she normally posts on Instagram ahead of the show. 

Taking to social media, Robin also admitted she forgot to mention her partner Amber Laign - which never slips her mind.

"Apologies for the delay this morn," she wrote. "#GlamFam and I got in from the west coast VERY late and ran out of time before @goodmorningamerica. You know I’m tired because I forgot Sweet Amber heeeey! But never too tired to share our #TuesdayThoughts #cmon."

Fans forgave her and commented: "Good morning any time is a good time for the Lord, no apologies," and, "Thank you Robin. God bless you and have a wonderful day."

Robin and Amber are tying the knot at 18 years together

"Back to reality as I have to leave everyone day early for a work assignment on the west coast. Not sad vacay is over, glad and blessed it happened!" she wrote. 

It's been quite the whirlwind of excitement as prior to her trip, she was away in Key West, and also recently in Paris on assignment. Not only that, but she's planning her wedding to Amber too.

Earlier this year Robin revealed that she and Amber are finally ready to tie the knot and this could mean a shake-up in the following months on the ABC show. 

While speaking with author Gabby Bernstein about "saying yes" to things, she revealed that they were saying yes to marriage. "I'm hesitating, because I haven't said it out loud yet," she started, before revealing: "I'm saying yes to marriage, we're getting married this year."

This means Robin may step away a little from her hosting duties to plan and host their big day - not that it has happened yet. Robin added further details of why they decided to wed this year after 18 years together, when she said: "We've talked about it, but we'd put it off because she became ill. But it is saying 'yes' to that next chapter." 

Her co-stars celebrated the news with her, with Ginger Zee revealing she had "goosebumps" immediately after it cut to the weather following their segment.
