Earlier in February, Al shared a video of his crackling fire with the caption: "A little #mondaymeditation as we celebrate #presidentsday." His fans flocked to the comments section to admire his toasty set-up with one writing: " Nothing like a fireplace that still burns real wood!" and another declared: "Sooooo cosy on this chilly morning."

In another video, showing off the same space, Al revealed a little more about his zen time spent by the fire by writing: "I love the hour or so when I am up before everyone. The crackle of the fire, the quiet, looking out the window at the 4° winterscape #sundayserenity #momentofzen."

Since Al opened up about his cancer diagnosis back in November 2020, the star has spent more and more time finding inner zen in front of the fire. He regularly updates his fans about his treatment, and after returning to the Today show following his successful surgery, he revealed that the disease has not spread to any other areas of his body.

Another sanctuary for the star is his beloved garden, which also gets some airtime on his Instagram feed. One photograph showed off his magical yard while it snowed over the festive period. It has a tiled walkway and tall trees surrounding either side of the lawn.
