Lara Spencer is soaking up the last days of summer and warm, sunny weather with her hubby Richard McVey by her side.

The Good Morning America star has enjoyed plenty of summer date nights with her husband, and has overjoyed fans when giving a glimpse of their nights out by way of loved-up photos of the two together. 

Lara has been married to Richard, an entrepreneur and chief executive officer of MarketAxess Holdings, since 2018; the two tied the knot with a wedding in Vail, Colorado on September 1. She was previously married to CNN reporter David Haffenreffer from 2000 to 2015, and they share two kids together, Duff, 21, and Katharine, 19.

Lara took to Instagram as the weekend came to a close to recap what she got up to, sharing a sweet photo at the beach with Richard, and of course, their beloved dog Riva.

In the very summery snapshot, the television anchor is glowing as she sits on the sand by some beachgrass, donning a light white dress decorated with green palm motifs, which she styled with a chambray shirt over it and a blue ribboned Panama hat.

Lara, who lives in Greenwich, Connecticut, has lucked out this summer and has spent plenty of her days outdoors, and by the water.

In response, one fan commented: "Awesome! So glad you went," as another wrote: "You are going to love it!! Don't give up! Get certified!!" and a third: "This is so awesome!! You ladies rock!"
