Courtney Rocker, Al Roker’s daughter, married Wesley Laga on June 5 in a small wedding ceremony. The couple is now expecting their first child, which they announced via a sweet Instagram post.
As fans congratulate Courtney Roker’s husband – and Al Roker’s son-in-law – Wesley Laga, here’s what you need to know about him.
Al was overjoyed to walk his daughter down the aisle after the couple announced their engagement in April 2020. He even posted a family photo on Instagram with the caption, “Our last #familyphoto with @ouichefroker as a single woman before her wedding to @djweslaga.”
Wesley Laga is a teacher, actor, director, and teaching artist. He is also a DJ and MC for Excel Entertainment, according to his Instagram bio. In addition, Wesley works as a bartender.
Unlike Courtney, who frequently shares photos from her personal life, Wesley prefers to keep his personal life private. His Instagram account has over 2,000 followers, but he has set it to private.
Wesley felt at ease with Courtney’s family even before the engagement, and she frequently shared photos of him and the Roker family together. Their social media presence demonstrates that they enjoy trying new things and going on adventures together.
Courtney never missed an opportunity to praise Wesley, as evidenced by her social media. On April 11, 2020, she announced her engagement while showing off the engagement ring.
She wrote: “Life sometimes takes you in a different direction for a reason. We should have been in Paris, but with how the world is at the moment, it was placed on hold. Instead, Wes brought Paris to me with the music, lights and live cam shot of the Eiffel Tower on our TV. I said yes to my best friend last night and I am over the moon! Thank you Wes for making me your partner in crime for life. I love you.”
She also shared pictures from her wedding and wrote: “Last night was beyond anything I could ever imagine. I celebrated my love for my husband and felt the love from everyone. My heart is filled with happiness and filled with joy. And I gotta say my husband’s dance moves ain’t too shabby. Now on to the honeymoon.”
The Today Show anchor’s family is growing, as Courtney Roker and her husband, Wesley, announced in an Instagram post this week. Courtney’s pregnancy is confirmed by the post, which includes a montage of couple photos juxtaposed with images from a sonogram.
“A new adventure is about to begin ❤️????,” the post’s caption reads.
Fans lost no time at all in congratulating the couple and Roker chimed in with “Here we go!!! So very very happy!!!!! You guys,” and adding in another comment that he’s “Going for Pop-Pop!”
