Robin Roberts had a very specific request for her GMA co-star Will Reeve on Thursday’s episode of the ABC morning show!

The long-term host told Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos that she had texted Will ahead of his appearance on the show to ask if he would step outside of the studios.

Robin had been talking to a fan of the show who had been waiting outside the studios, having come from LSU, to catch a glimpse of Will in person. “Will Reeves… as my mama would say, he’s a nice young man,” she said.

Along with her mother, Victoria, the pair are well-known events planners, who run the company Victoria Dublin Events. During a recent appearance on Live with Kelly & Mark, he spoke about the planning process, as co-host Mark Consuelos joked: “This is the easiest wedding you’ll ever be part of.”

Will replied: “I hope it’s the only wedding I’m ever a part of!” “We are so dialed,” he added. “We’ve still got almost a year, a little under a year until the wedding and we’ve basically got almost everything done.”

Kelly Ripa then joked that all Will had to do was “show up” to the wedding “like an honored guest.” Will has also got plans to honor his late father, Christopher Reeve, at his wedding.

He told People: “I’ll be wearing his cufflinks.” The Superman actor died in 2004 when he was just 12-years-old. Tragically, just 17 months later, his mother passed away from lung cancer.
