Rob Marciano's Ups and Downs Before 'GMA' Exit Include a Messy Divorce
Rob Marciano reported the weather on ABC News and Good Morning America for 10 years before his abrupt firing.
Marciano joined the GMA team in fall 2014, covering the weather desk on the weekends. Nine years later, Marciano traded the weekend shift for traditional Monday through Friday hours, teasing via Instagram that his kids were “psyched that I will now be home most weekends!” (He shares daughter Madelynn and son Mason with ex-wife Eryn Marciano.)
“My thanks to the bosses who listened and made this work-life balance possible,” he wrote in September 2023 while celebrating his 10th year with ABC News. “I’m also grateful for an exciting new project with NatGeo that has me exploring some very very cool stuff … more to come!”
Following his shocking split from Eryn, news broke in late April 2024 that Rob had been let go from ABC after alleged behavioral and anger issues. The network didn’t comment at the time, and Rob did not immediately address the accusations.
