She stated:

“I am thankful to God, my physicians, and nurses for my improved health. I am thankful to my donor, Sally-Ann, for providing me with the gift of life. As we prepare to ring in the new year, I am thankful for my complete family, my long-term partner, Amber, and our friends.”
Roberts confessed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2014 why she had not spoken publicly about Amber despite the fact that they had been dating since 2005.

“I met you for cocktails 15 years ago on a blind date that both of us attempted to cancel… twice. Your elegance immediately drew my attention, and the easiness of the evening lasted through supper. We went on another date shortly after, and I couldn’t believe how comfortable I felt with you as we talked our lives while drinking lychee and apple martinis.”
