George Stephanopoulos was absent from Good Morning America due to the passing of his father, Rev. Dr. Robert G. Stephanopoulos. His wife, Ali Wentworth, announced the death of the reverend who passed away on June 19. Stephanopoulos returned briefly but has been missing again, leading to speculation that he may be attending his father's funeral or spending time with family. Fans suspect his absence may also be related to promotional events for his bestselling book, The Situation Room. Stephanopoulos, a former senior advisor in politics, has been a co-anchor on GMA since 2009, contributing to the show's success as the No. 1 morning talk show over NBC's Today.
