GOOD Morning America meteorologist Rob Marciano hasn’t been as active on Instagram as usual after contracting Covid for a second time.
The weekend forecaster shared a photo of two positive Covid tests on June 24, expressing that this was his “round 2” with the virus.

“Happy Birthday Weekend to Me!” he wrote in the caption.
Since then, he hasn’t made a post but still continues to share photos using the social media’s story feature as he just recently went on a weekend getaway with his kids Madelynn, 10, and Mason, 4.
Rob had some fun with the unfortunate circumstances and grew out his facial hair, a far cry from the clean-shaven forecaster GMA fans are used to.
One photo from last April featured Rob and his daughter, Madelynn, out for a walk to celebrate the end of Earth Week.
ROB MARCIANO DIVORCE
Rob had his daughter’s backpack on and smiled for the camera with a full, shaggy beard and a pair of sunglasses as Madelynn posed behind him.
“Walking home from school as we wrap up #EarthWeek2021,” Rob wrote as many in the comments shared their opinions on the facial hair.
Days later, however, Rob would finally shave his beard and took photos of the process for his Instagram.
“Fully vaccinated and fully shaved as promised, though I rocked the handlebar state for a fun 5 minutes,” he wrote, sharing a slideshow of pictures.

The first photo has Rob with the handlebar mustache, a much different look than what he normally wears.
The second snap is of Rob in mid-process of being shaved before the final photo showing the clean-shaven weatherman.
“Glad to see beard still not back. We missed the face,” wrote one commenter.
“So handsome…. with or without!” wrote another.
SECRET DIVORCE
The fun pics come after The Sun revealed that Rob and wife Eryn had filed for divorce last June after 11 years of marriage.
Despite the divorce, the exes appear to be co-parenting amicably, as they took a trip to Walt Disney World with their kids over Spring Break in April, according to Rob’s Instagram.
Eryn is known today as a licensed real estate salesperson who works at Compass.
According to her bio, she was originally from Atlanta, Georgia but relocated multiple times across the country with her family.
She holds a degree in Psychology from the University of Georgia and is a “proud member of The Kim Arenas Team, ranking in the top 1% of Westchester County.”
The real estate agent hasn’t posted of her estranged husband since June 2021 in a Father’s Day tribute.
Rob was active on social media up until June 24 when he revealed he had Covid for the second time.
WHERE’S ROB?
Fans have been expressing their concern on social media over Rob’s absence, as one wrote on Twitter: “Anyone else really misses Rob Marciano on GMA Weekend? Wonder what happened.”
Another wrote on Twitter: “If Rob Marciano is definitely off GMA – it’s sad that you can’t give him the proper send-off… If he decided he didn’t want anything, that’s fine.”
A third said: “So many of us wonder if it’s true Rob Marciano is gone and no one is giving us the truth you owe it to us and fans.”
Rob sparked more concern when Sam Champion filled in for Ginger Zee in June.
Rob often covered for Ginger during the week.
The meteorologist has yet to remove the show from his social media bios.
On Twitter, Rob still tells followers: “Good Morning America / ABC News Meteorologist (CBM). Dad, husband, science guy, sports fan, and outdoor enthusiast.”
On Instagram, his bio reads: “GMA/ABC News #Meteorologist, #Dad, #Sports Fan, #Weather Fan, #Outdoor Enthusiast, #Environmentalist.”
Though he hasn’t appeared on GMA since the spring, he has been on ABC News Tonight with David Muir.
Rob and ABC have not commented publicly on his absence.
