GOOD Morning America host Robin Roberts has gushed about a special family moment at the airport and threw in a joke about her lavish private jet lifestyle.
The new roadway servicing Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport is getting named after Robin’s late pilot father.

Robin, 61, claimed Newark wanted a New Jersey native and did not realize the connection between Col Roberts Road and the famous news anchor.
Once the team put two and two together, the airport invited Robin and her siblings over to commemorate the special dedication.
Her co-host George Stephanopoulos, 61, praised: “Something to feel good about every time we drive into Newark.”
Robin proudly gushed: “That new terminal is gorgeous.”
After humbly admitting the honor was all about her father, and insisting Port Authority didn’t initially realize the celebrity connection, she threw in a joke: “The next time I fly commercial – “
George and Michael Strahan, 50, burst into laughter on live television at Robin’s cheeky joke.
Robin threw her hands up in the air and shouted: “I’m joking!”
Michael then concluded the moment and said: “It’s really great to see you and your family together celebrating your dad.”

‘MY HAPPY PLACE!’
Although not as lavish as a private jet, Robin has also given fans a look inside her private office at the GMA studios.
In a rare behind-the-scenes tour, Robin showed off her space complete with designer heels, “Yas Kween” pillows, photos and more.
Every morning before appearing on GMA, Robin does a morning prayer and delivers a message for her followers on her Instagram.
On Thursdays, she always does Thankful Thursdays and asks what her GlamFam is thankful for.
And while she wants most fans to pay attention to the message she is telling, they couldn’t help but be distracted by the amazing items in her room.
Pillows are all lined up on the long couch next to her.
Some of them read “Yas Kween,” “Home Sweet Home New York,” “Brighter By The Day,” and “This is My Happy Place.”
During this particular video, Robin had a pair of black designer heels sitting next to the pillows, along with a stuff penguin plush.
Behind the GMA host are a bunch of pictures of her with family members and friends.
Many books, including the one she wrote, lie on the shelf, as well.
Knick knacks, a TV, a fan, a light-up LED “R,” and an Oscar award are all placed neatly on the shelf.
When the camera panned to her GlamFam, more pictures could be seen on the second shelf.
A statue of the word “Believe,” a bottle of champagne, a computer, and all of her make-up products also adorned the shelf.
In between the two shelves is a huge mirror that is surrounded by lights.
Under the mirror was a journal, a sink, and more pictures.
ROBIN’S SCARE
Robin also showed off her office last week when she returned from her absence on the show.
Robin sat behind the desk on Thursday morning with George and TJ Holmes after being out the entire week.
But many thought she was out due to working on a project for the show because she had gone social media silent.
However, she was suffering from an illness that she revealed in her recent Instagram video.
“Good morning. It is good to be back. And my voice is almost back,” she said.
“I have been battling Laryngitis since Sunday. I’d love to say it was because I was partying over the weekend, but it was just pickleball.”
“But glad to be here for the morning message and prayer,” she ended before going into the message.
Robin then went on to ask her GlamFam what they were most thankful for.
Fans were concerned for the host and took to the comments to wish her well.
