Roker and Bell were married from 1984 to 1994 and adopted Courtney in 1987. The longtime Today co-anchor was absent from Tuesday’s broadcast (Feb. 11) following Bell’s passing.

The cause of Bell’s death has not been revealed, but a recent photo shared by Courtney showed her mother hooked up to an oxygen tube.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Roker family during this difficult time.
