Not only is @PeterAlexander a stellar reporter, he's also a fantastic husband and father. I'm proud of him every single day.

I’ll never forget this day. I was in 2nd grade and had a White House tour. We were on the lawn to see Marine One take off. As the First Lady, Rosalynn Carter, walked by, she stopped and posed with me for a photo. Many thanks to her for decades of community service.

Happy Saturday! Watching Daddy @PeterAlexander and our friend @kwelkernbc . Peter is in the basement and has been for days. He had a “close contact” working at the White House. Welker revealed I called him a “needy basement dweller,” and Ava calls him “Johnny Quarantine!”

🚨🚨I have some exciting personal and professional news to share with you.  After 20 years at WJLA-TV and 26 years as a broadcast journalist, I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from the anchor desk to spend more time with my beautiful family. More on Instagram . ❤️

This is basically how the Alexander/Starlings are feeling today! I will now be working a “day shift,” still anchoring the 4 and 5 pm news, but the evenings will now be for family time! After 16 years at ABC 7 News - WJLA, I am ready for this new chapter, and feeling grateful!

I am in shock over the loss of this wonderful man. Doug Hill was so many things. He was a talented meteorologist, the best of the best. He was a kind, funny family man deeply rooted in his faith. It was an honor to work with him, and Doug, we miss you so much already.
