Robin Roberts, who officially came out of the closet last month, is NOT engaged to girlfriend Amber Laign, despite a Star report.

According to the tabloid, the “Good Morning America” co-anchor is “planning to pop the question to the woman whose love helped her fight cancer,” which Star touts as Roberts’ “secret engagement.”

Star explains that after making her relationship public, Roberts is set to propose to Laign.

“The next step will be the announcement of their engagement — and then a glorious wedding,” says a mag source. “They’re totally devoted to each other.”

We have no doubt that that’s true… but they’re NOT engaged, and Roberts is NOT planning to propose imminently.

A Roberts friend tells Gossip Cop the report is “not true.”

Robin Roberts, who has never  before publicly addressed her sexual orientation, took the opportunity to come out and thank her “long time girlfriend, Amber,” in a year-end Facebook post that discussed her health and recovery from a bone marrow transplant.

On Sunday, Roberts wrote on the social media site, “Flashback 12/29/12….Hard to believe this was 1 year ago today..when I reached a critical milestone of 100 days post transplant…and KJ was finally allowed to come back home.”

“At this moment I am at peace and filled with joy and gratitude,” the “Good Morning America” anchor continued before noting, “I am grateful to God, my doctors and nurses for my restored good health. I am grateful for my sister, Sally-Ann, for being my donor and giving me the gift of life. I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together.”

Roberts concluded, “On this last Sunday of 2013 I encourage you to reflect on what you are grateful for too,” before wishing everyone “a Healthy and Happy New Year.”
