Is it a major heat wave? Topless Good Morning America weatherman Sam Champion enjoys sun-soaked Rio honeymoon with Brazilian husband
|
As an ABC weatherman, Sam Champion is used to commenting on rising temperatures.
But the 52-year-old TV anchor got to soak up the sun himself as he enjoyed an idyllic honeymoon with his Brazilian husband Rubem Robierb, 36, at Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro.
Champion, the weather anchor of ABC's Good Morning America, looked relaxed and in love as he cosied up for photos with his husband on the beach.

The couple sported deep tans as they sunned themselves while topless, with Sam sporting a blue and purple costume and Rubem wearing monochrome trunks.
Sam also shared a sexy candid snap of the pair posing on the beach and showing off their muscles.
He tweeted: ‘Thanks for ur tweets!! Honeymoon is perfect @RubemRobierbArt’

Sam married fine arts photographer Rubem in December 2012, with an official ceremony in his Manhattan apartment with his Good Morning America co-anchors as guests.

This was followed by a lavish New Year’s Eve reception in Miami, in the same place where the couple met almost four years ago.
Sam revealed in October 2012 that he was gay and that he and his partner were set to marry.
The weather anchor's sexual orientation had long been known to his friends and media colleagues, but he had never publicly discussed it before making the announcement.
In a statement on the ABC News website posted in October, Mr Champion said: 'We are thrilled and so excited and thank everyone for their good wishes.'

They look happy and like they are having fun, BUT Sam C., has had multiple skin cancer lesions removed, so being in the sun is not exactly good for him.
